Joaquin Castro: GOP SCIF Walk-in ‘Absolutely' Was a Risk to National Security
[Breibart] On Wednesday’s broadcast of CNN’s "The Situation Room," Rep. Joaquin Castro (D-TX) discussed House Republicans forcing their way into the secured room where the House Intelligence Committee was conducting a deposition for their impeachment inquiry of President Donald Trump.

Castro said, "We were getting ready for the deposition to start and we had had a Democratic caucus meeting just before that of the Intelligence members. We came into the room. Everybody was seated, and just as the witness sat down you had ‐ of course, you had Democratic members already seated, Republicans that were seated. There are about 25 or 30 of the Republican members. It looked to me like it was all the guys. There may have been a few women but I didn’t see them. There are three entrances in that room and they all came kind of storming in. Most of them were not members of the committees, I think, of jurisdiction. They came storming in the room and started disrupting the proceeding. Shortly after that, I didn’t see when the witness left but she left at some point. I think her lawyers escorted her out of the room, but it was a very tense several minutes while everybody was in that room. Quite honestly, it looked like a mob scene. It looked like kind of a mob party coming into that room."

Blitzer asked, "Was it a risk to national security?"

National Security risk? No Wolf, but you certainly have been for several decades.

#1 Please see your Special Security Officer (SSO) for a currently listing of personnel on the SCIF access roster, or simply check their badge.

#4 Risk? Not really. I was the SSO for several SCIFs. Definitely against the rules and doesn't turn criminal until the person is deliberately recording/picturing of classified information on an unauthorized device.

The fact no classified info was presented before the Republicans entered the area means this is a slight slap on the wrist offense from a security view. Nothing more.
