HUMAN EVENTS Exclusive: Boss Hoyer to Take the Stand, by Jed Babbin
House Majority Leader Steny Hoyer (D-Md) will testify tomorrow afternoon in an unprecedented hearing before the Select Committee investigating how the Democrats violated House rules to produce a fraudulent result on August 2, 2007. ** Tuesdays hearing before the Select Committee to Investigate the Voting Irregularities of
August 2, 2007 will be the first time in the history of the House that members of Congress have faced such an inquiry and been subjected to questioning by members of the opposing party. ** Republicans reacted with outrage at the maneuvers apparently pulled by Hoyer, acting as House leader and McNulty, who was presiding over House proceedings at the time. Republicans had made a motion to deny illegal aliens welfare benefits. When McNulty gaveled the vote to a close, the Republicans had won 214-213. Then, apparently at Hoyers direction, the vote was reopened so that Speaker Pelosi could vote, producing a tie that defeated the Republican motion.
