Rep. Bradley Byrne (R-AL)
Republican lawmakers on Wednesday barged into the secret impeachment chamber, defended President Trump and shouted at the lawless Democrats.
Members of the House Freedom Caucus such as Reps. Biggs, Meadows, Gohmert, Jordan and Gaetz led the way Wednesday.
GOP heroes Reps. Bradley Byrne (AL) and Louie Gohmert (TX) screamed in Adam Schiff’s face after they stormed the SCIF.
This is how it’s done.
No wonder why Adam Schiff left his coup headquarters like a coward!
CNN’s Manu Raju reported: Byrne was yelling in Schiff’s face. Rep. Val Demings shouted back at both Byrne and Louie Gohmert, who were yelling about the process.
“It was closest thing I’ve seen around here to mass civil unrest as a member of Congress,” source tells me.

Congressman Byrne said Schiff was threatening him with ethics complaint even though he’s on the Armed Services Committee.
WATCH:
Adam Schiff just SHUT DOWN his secret underground impeachment hearing after I led a group of Republicans into the room. Now he's threatening me with an Ethics complaint! I'm on the Armed Services Cmte but being blocked from the Dept. Asst. SecDef's testimony. This is a SHAM! pic.twitter.com/6qUMerxENC

Schiff is not allowing Armed Services Committee members to question Laura Cooper even though she is a Pentagon official and subject to oversight by the committee!
Earlier upon our arrival, Schiff grabbed the witness, Laura Cooper, and left. Cooper is a Pentagon official and is subject to oversight by Armed Services Committee. Yet, Schiff is not allowing Armed Services Committee Members to question her! (2/3) https://t.co/qZLahsY654

Schiff and his witness are still sequestered and not in the SCIF.
Schiff and the witness are still sequestered away/not in the SCIF, so it is sort of a standoff right now.” (3/3) https://t.co/MNOc99niZG
