I agree. Gowdy kind of seems like one of the good guys, but I saw grandstanding there. There needs to be a trial. There needs to be prosecution. People need to be in jail.

I say again: I saw grandstanding. Nobody is DOING anything.

They are questioning these witnesses under oath so if evidence turns up (or they already have it and are saving it for the right moment), they can hang a charge of perjury over the witness's heads and see if that makes them more cooperative. Little by little they exploit the cracks in the administrations stonewall until the bring it all down.
