Look at how empty that committee is. This is an example of how little they all care about looking into Russiagate. They know this is being televised, and they don't care enough to even show up. There's like 3 people physically there.

This is what they think of us.

Don't discount the covid factor, though. As meaningless as these hearings are, they are implementing different attendance standards for anything in the chamber these days - usually the audience is media and staffers, they can all watch from TV like us, because of the Coof.

Senators and Congresscritters showing up is a crapshoot on normal days, really.

These Russiagate hearing are extremely important, and that's exactly my problem. Fuck a virus. Russiagate has exposed systemic corruption within the DOJ. Do you really want to live in a country where the corrupt in government aren't held to account?

We've been living in that exact country my whole life, I've learned. I'm not saying you're wrong, but I just don't expect anything material to come out of these hearings. That's not what they're for.

That's why Dunham is on the job. They (Trump, Barr) know they won't get shit from Congress. They had to go legally outside of their sphere to try and get some justice here.

Even if these hearings led to recommendations for indictment - which isn't gonna happen - they'd just push it all past the elections anyway.

I know I'm cynical, but I've been watching these clown shows since Clinton's impeachment. I have damn good reasons to be cynical.

I mean they constantly rotate senators. No one is going to stick around and listen to democrats blow into her asshole. They got their soundbytes

Exactly part of the problem. They show up like 5 min before they are scheduled to talk, get their little soundbite out, and leave.

Fuck these people.
