House Republicans on the Intel, Foreign Affairs, & Oversight Committees railed against the "secret" process too...even though they were assigned to the impeachment inquiry and were welcome to attend and participate. Let's see how many actually did: 1/ https://twitter.com/BuzzFeedNews/status/1193789203206684672
There are 48 Republicans assigned to the impeachment inquiry on three committees—Oversight, Intelligence, and Foreign Affairs.

👉12 of these Republicans failed to attend ANY of the 11 depositions whose transcripts have been made public. 2/
Here are the 12:

@RepKinzinger (IL-16)
@RepChrisSmith (NJ-4)
@GregPenceIN (IN-6)
@RepJoeWilson (SC-2)
@SteveChabot (OH-1)
@RepRickCrawford (AR-1)

👉Two-thirds of the Republicans assigned to the impeachment inquiry attended 2 or less of the 11 hearings whose depositions have been made public. Here they are:

👉13 Rs assigned to the impeachment inquiry—all invited to attend the hearings—stormed a highly secure room to protest the closed door hearings they were invited to attend.

👉10 of these same Rs attended 2 or fewer.

👉2 failed to attend ANY ( @RepGosar & @RepMarkGreen).

5/
👉ZERO Republicans assigned to the impeachment inquiry attended every hearing. They were invited to all of them.

Remember this tomorrow when you hear Republicans bring up "closed door" or "secret" hearings.
