The way some are saying that the hearings were conducted were not effective at all. The Republicans were not acting like “prosecutors” pulling out the facts. They wasted a lot of time and gave too much face time instead of meaningful questioning of the witnesses. We knew the dems would do that, but figured the pubbies would use their time wisely.
The witnesses were already under a lot of pressure....and disclosed much information prior to this "hearing" ---which really was intended for them to make public in their own words ---without ADDITIONAL PRESSURE --to the public.
Democrats definitely would have handled this as attacking prosecuters!
