Ryan meeting with House officials on investigation of Democratic sit-in on gun legislation
Source: The Washington Post
House Speaker Paul D. Ryan (R-Wis.) and Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy (R-Calif.) plan to meet Tuesday afternoon with House officials to decide whether to conduct a formal investigation of the behavior of Democrats during their 26-hour protest last month demanding votes on gun legislation.
McCarthy told reporters Tuesday that Democrats, who seized and held the floor most of June 22 and June 23, chanting and broadcasting their demonstration through social media, “went beyond the rules” on several fronts and that he thinks some form of punishment may be needed.
“We expect members of Congress to adhere to the rules and decorum,” McCarthy said, suggesting that broadcasting their protest clearly broke rules and that fundraising pitches based on the sit-in might have crossed ethical lines. He also said that he has been told that some Democrats were abusive toward the nonpartisan staff members who serve the chamber and who were trying to do their jobs but were obstructed by lawmakers who had formed a sit-in around their desks in the well of the chamber.
“If that is true, what’s gone on, action has to be taken,” McCarthy said.

could probably put his much vaunted investigatory skill to good use. Of course it will iinvolve many months and about seven million dollars. He offers guaranteed results with the caveat that they may not be exactly what you expected.
