Apparently, Adam Schiffty Schiff kicked GOP Rep. Matt Gaetz out of the super-secret impeachment hearing earlier today.

Because you know, THAT’S not suspicious or anything.

Byron York shared the news and his thoughts on what Schiff pulled:

Hear there is conflict inside Fiona Hill interview room. GOP Rep Gaetz came in. Not a member of Oversight/Intel/Foreign Affairs committees conducting interview. But Gaetz is a member of Judiciary, one of impeachment committees. Some disagreement going on. — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

Am told Rep Gaetz, a member of Judiciary Committee, was ordered out Fiona Hill interview room. — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

A member of the Judiciary Committee, one of the impeachment committees, kicked out.

Why or why would Schiff do that

Rep Schiff says impeachment hearings must be secret because they're like grand jury; can't let Trump side coordinate stories. Question: Will Schiff pledge to release all transcripts before public hearings and reasonable period of time before House votes on impeachment articles? pic.twitter.com/1DCrCZ9oCl — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

Wait, what?

But it’s not a grand jury, Schiff for Brains.

Imagine a member of the House Judiciary Committee wanting to know what was going on in an impeachment proceeding. The audacity! — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

THE NERVE.

To the extent that it's a reminder that the public has a right to know everything that was said in that secret session before House votes on impeachment articles — it's a good thing. https://t.co/shoz16vg1Q — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

How quickly they forget the public does indeed have the right to know what they’re doing in these meetings before it goes to a vote.

A House impeachment hearing is not a grand jury.https://t.co/WE2YR7URPY — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

And like clockwork, York speaks out in defense of Gaetz and calls Schiff out and the insults and accusations begin:

Is @ByronYork a "reporter" or a Trump whisperer and conspiracy theory purveyor. Think we know the answer https://t.co/FVNmCi90PH — Barbara Tokay (@sci_writer) October 14, 2019

These people.

York responded.

Do you believe the public has a right to know what is said in now-secret impeachment proceedings? https://t.co/4QEXQjNzTr — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

Then this …

When did Barr release muellers report ?! — Chriss (@currcl) October 14, 2019

25 days after sending a letter summarizing it.https://t.co/99DOWIJS1T — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

Derp.

I don't know. I think they should be released as soon as they are prepared. If Dems refuse to do that, they should be released a reasonable period of time before House votes on impeachment articles. https://t.co/gGgkVyHlRX — Byron York (@ByronYork) October 14, 2019

As secretive as Schiff has been we have our doubts.

But we can always hope.
