    All of these hearings serve no purpose other than to give Congress people 4 minutes of time to create some sound bites for the campaign.

    Questions are widely leading or very inaccurate or even just lies … If they ask a question at all. Some just spout garbage for a few minutes.

      Not always. Both Trump’s NY fraud conviction, and election interference (hush money) felonies came out of the Michael Cohen hearing, specifically from AOC questions.

      Your overall point is absolutely correct, though. It’s even more frustrating when it’s easy to see how powerful these hearings can be.
