House Rules
No one outside the chamber, especially the Executive Branch, has jurisdiction over violations of House rules. Only the House's disciplinary committees. Article 1, sec 5 & 6.

The people they are interviewing are not saying what they want to hear, far from it, and they don't want that to get out.
Republicans on the oversight committees were part of the meeting invaded by their unauthorized colleagues.
The closed nature of the meeting was because sensitive intelligence information pertaining to Ukraine operations was being reviewed by the committees. Ukraine, you may recall, is a focus of allegations the committees are investigating.
Intelligence methods and operations are sensitive and not to be made public for obvious reasons. Those on the oversight committees have been vetted for security and have been approved for access to this level of sensitive intelligence information. Others have not been vetted.
This wasn't some super secret Democrat conspiracy meeting on impeachment. It was a bipartisan information gathering meeting.
The invasion of the meeting by unauthorized House Republicans was a publicity stunt that embarrassed the nation, the House and the authorized Republicans attending the meeting. But it played to the Trump faithful, like yourself, who don't care about the details only the appearance.

It's a Star Chamber attempt to get something on Trump ...
Did you not read a word I and others wrote? Authorized senior Republicans were there!
Where do you get this kind of crap?
Are you really so desperate to defend Trump that you can ignore these facts?
I refuse to believe you are so blind/stupid/dumb as to believe this conspiracy crap.
I know your head is smarter than this. Why are you insisting on this shit?

Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
You just keep drinking the kool aid, Love.
and the rest of the House say something else,
That "rest of the House" is limited to a couple dozen disgruntled butt-hurt Republican Trump sycophants stage managed by the White House. They lied about their motives and their representation. The remaining 410 members of the House, that actually represent over 300 million Americans, don't want anything to do with them.

Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
I haven't been giving any opinions. Just relaying facts.
I know when you get emotional it is difficult for you to tell the difference but there is a difference.
Like when you crown 24 White House puppets as the "rest of the House" when in fact the other 411 members, the real rest of the House, disagree.

Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
You do know the invading hoard was all of 24 Republicans?
You do know how many members comprise the House of Representatives?
How do you label these facts as assertions?

Re: Yes they are calling it a Star Chamber
You really think the 234 Democrats in the House accept these 24 Republican yahoos as their proxies?
How can the reality of this situation escape you so easily. These yahoos say they represent "the whole House" for their own partisan political purposes but they don't even represent a minority of the membership.
Pull your head out of it, Love. Their statements are self-serving and false. Anyone who understands our congressional system can see this on its face.
