Miami-Dade Democrats file bar complaint against Matt Gaetz for alleged obstruction of impeachment process
The complaint alleges two instances where Gaetz violated House rules.

The Miami-Dade Democratic Party is filing a bar complaint against Rep. Matt Gaetz, alleging he violated House rules during President Donald Trump‘s impeachment inquiry by attempting to enter secure rooms.

Prior to Trump’s impeachment, the House assigned a group of committees to investigate his actions regarding Ukraine.

As part of the investigation, those committees interviewed witnesses. The interviews were open to those committees only, though Democrats and Republicans sat on each committee.

The complaint cites two instances where Gaetz attempted to enter those restricted interview hearings.

In one attempt, two dozen Republicans tried to enter a secure hearing room to interrupt the deposition of Deputy Assistant Secretary of Defense Laura Cooper. Republicans protested what they called a “Soviet-style process” despite, again, several Republicans on the relevant committees being welcome to hear the testimony and ask questions.

CNN’s Manu Raju reported Gaetz led that stunt.

In a separate instance, Gaetz was kicked out of a closed-door interview with Fiona Hill, who served as a White House advisor on Russia.

Hill was testifying to the House Intelligence, Oversight, and Foreign Affairs committees. Gaetz doesn’t sit on any of those committees.

“Both intrusions are improper, unprofessional and unethical and were meant only to feed Gaetz’s unjustifiably large ego and penchant for grandstanding,” the Bar complaint reads.

11. Well he is half way there

he is a baby asshole.

2. I hope one of these many Bar complaints bears fruit

I'd love to see Rudy, Barr, Gaetz, all dis-barred.

Barr would be particularly delicious! If that ever did happen (I know, pie in the sky), but would that mean he couldn't be AG any more. Since he wouldn't be an attorney.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. Trump

would merely make a "so called" presidential proclamation that Barr doesn't need a law degree.......And The Republican owned Supreme Court would back him up.........

The Republican mantra is now: "If the president does it, it isn't agains't the law............."

The Fascist/Dictator Tyranny is millimeters away from fruition...................

3. Lock him up

[Hermit-The-Prog]

4. should go well with his attempted witness intimidation

[democrattotheend]

5. As an attorney

I have to admit, I am not a huge fan of ethics grievances being used for political purposes. But if he is going to play that game with his nonsense ethics complaint against Pelosi, than I guess he doesn't have much to complain about.

6. good...punch back at these fuckers...

hard!

[iluvtennis]

10. +++ agree. nt

[crickets]

7. It's bad enough that he barged into meetings uninvited for a political stunt.

Anybody breaching a SCIF while dragging a cell phone toting, pizza ordering crowd behind him deserves a kick in the pants.

[Bob Loblaw]

9. To clarify

The kick should administered to the front side of the pants, right?

[crickets]

14. Ha! I like the cut of your jib.

[Evolve Dammit]

8. He's just an attack cult tool convict. Lock Him UP.

[ancianita]

12. THAT RIGHT THERE. That's the way to fight fake ethics charges. Go get 'em, Miami Dems!

15. Good!
