The Crooks Brothers Riot (tm)


In 2000, a band of Republican party hacks and thugs were flown in from out of state to bum-rush the official Florida election recount and intimidate public servants doing their job under the pretext of resorting "the process to public view.

This came to be known as "The Brooks Brothers Riot".
‘It’s insanity!’: How the ‘Brooks Brothers Riot’ killed the 2000 recount in Miami
Today, nineteen years after the Brooks Brothers Riot, another band of Republican party hacks and thugs have waddle down to Congress' Sensitive Compartmented Information Facility (SCIF) to bum-rush a closed congressional hearing and intimidate a public servant giving damning testimony about Donald Trump's treason under the pretext of "transparency".
Republicans only respond to force and fear.  And I'll just bet you that if the capitol police were to Taser a couple of these fuckers and dump 'em in the rotunda where tourists can take pictures of them weeping and shitting themselves, their behavior would improve markedly.


No, I Won't Be Going To Politicon!

Perhaps arrest them, cited for obstruction of justice. If the Prez gave a green light to this invasion, add this to the list of obstruction crimes. At least Matt Gaetz should face some kind of censure or consequence. But I realize IOKIYAR. Always and forever.

Disqualify them from the Judiciary committee.

They're Russian sympathizers. Just a bunch of Putin pocket marbles along with Trumpinski. That was a major breach of National Security, no ifs ands or buts. In a normal world they would already be on a one way ticket back to Russia where they would be selling used Lada Vesta's in the street, in dead of winter.

Exactly what I was reminded of (and why isn't our MSM connecting the dots?).

I called it 'The Schnooks Brothers Riot' at mahablog.

But "Crooks" works for me, too!

As I have said many times during the course of the Rethuglican lying, stonewalling,obfuscation, and obstruction of justice that consists of their "defense" of Comrade Drumpf:

The Sergeant-at-Arms should be the busiest person in DC these days.
