I hope this could mean >>> to connect today’s dry run with Comey, under the questioning of the congressional Committee, and instead develops into Q’s #2562 term of “educating the public”.

It looked to be a non-event to question Comey if everything they asked is “subject to an ongoing investigation” and they know very well such questions will not be answered.

Not sure what you mean? Sorry for being dense. So, yes, they could have predicted Comey wasn’t going to answer questions? But how would it lead to “educating the public”? Heading out now for Christmas party but hope to catch up later.

Hard to know but maybe the entire event was a charade known in advance by the R Congresspeeps, done for perhaps a number of good reasons.

Put Comey on notice that he will be facing the music.

Let the general public know that Comey will be facing the music, and that there are ongoing investigations. The more face time Comey has with public, the more people see what kind of man he is (not pretty!).

Let others such as other perps know the above.

Playing their part in the drama - if they did not subpoena Comey to appear, everyone (like us) would pile on them for not doing so, the public would think Comey did not engage in any wrongdoing, and the perps might thing they could get off Scott Free.

Just some thoughts.

I do believe this is the key reason for the hearings. Skipping hearings and going to a “big reveal” could be portrayed by the 24/7 MSM as coming from out of nowhere, failure to follow ordinary process, biased in that Comey would not have been given the “opportunity” to speak on the record etc.

I do think the public is going to be shocked enough as it is, this way they’d have the heft of legal process (hearings) as ballast behind the charges (i.e., “Oh. So that’s what all those hearings were about!”).
