RULES ARE MADE BY REPUBLICANS NOT FOLLOWED BY THEM

Imagine if Democratic Congressmen they had barged into the SCIFs where Hilary Clinton was being interrogated over the Benghazi incident, time and time again.  Repugs would still be talking about the lack of respect for the democratic process and the lack of concern for the security of the nation by bringing cell phones into a SCIF.  But Repugs say that because it was rules promulgated by Republicans, in the first place, that they violated, they were meant to apply to Democrats and were only optional for them.

Of course, when the impeachment process moves into its next phase when witnesses begin to testify in public, do not be surprised if Repugs do everything in their power to stop open hearings.
