    What I figured is that, the best strategy for a senate hearing is to be as forgetful as an individual as possible. You have no power over the hearing committe as they control the floor. So giving sophisticated justification will always be overshadowed by political rhetoric that they can filibuster over you. Answer questions with generic repeatable answers. Talk about organizational policies which makes everyone go to sleep. Never ask for clarification or questions. You shouldn't even really attempt reasoning with them. Do everything that makes the hearing boring tv. Dramatizing anything would result in focusing light on your activity.

You might think you are the smartest person in the room but smartness won't work when you don't have the right to speak freely and people can form interpretations of whatever you are saying.
