Dragging random people before congress always seems to be a politically motivated media circus of some kind or another. Why should these affairs hold any legal weight whatsoever?
- rrix2 5y agothere are senate and house hearings all the time, and they all publish read outs after the fact. That you generally only hear of the politicized ones is not surprising. I have some subcommittee feeds in my news reader in a low priority folder to look at sometimes. Their legislative abilities are nearly nil at this point but they sure know how to hold hearings.
