me smells another dog and pony show of pontificating, spinning, twisting and manipulating by the repub congress critters....like with all their other political posturing hearings...that waste millions and come out with nothing.... they love those ''gates'', cept the pearly ones, those may never be seen by them, who knows? j/k
the accused should be there, to explain or defend their positions so all sides are heard....that would be the just way to handle this, but 'just', is not in repubs vocabulary as of late....
