I look at previous infamous congressional hearings...horrid waste of time, as nothing was accomplished as each member was far more interested in "looking tough" at the big bad mean guy - than asking legitimate questions.
God forbid that Maxine Waters is involved in the questioning. The session would last for days until she could find the correct word to use.
