Here’s what I hate about these hearings. Republican prepares questions. Rep lacks knowledge and awareness to follow-up. While this is happening, another majority member of the committee is not at the dais but is elsewhere in conference with a donor or lobbyist. THEN, that same representative comes back to the dais with their list of staff questions and repeats the question asked and answered earlier. Democrat ranking members divvy up the points of attack. Republicans seem to have no group strategy (beyond giving time back to the chairman)
Because of the timing, I can draw only one logical conclusion: These depo are designed to get the deponents to assert the 5th. This is pure politics. These witnesses will NOT answer questions.

Comer should reach out to you for advice on avenues to pursue.
Politicians need to fight the urge to pontificate as if they are filming a commercial.
They need to adopt Trey Gowdy and Jim Jordan’s approach to interrogation.
Thanks. What about Leonard Bernardo and Julianna Smith?
