Having politicians question bureaucrats is a waste of time; a dog and pony show for the rubes.

My understanding is testimony gets it on the record which can then be used in a court case. It also sets a historical record for things that gets lost in the history books:

Suzanne Sommers was taken out the day after publically mentioning it.

What pisses me off is these people get SUBPEONA'd and STILL SIT THERE AND LIE UNDER OATH AND DEFLECT QUESTIONS.

Sorry for yelling but this is just more waste of our tax dollars, and with every second of testimony I watched yesterday, it just seemed more and more fruitless, frustrating, and devoid of fact.

Why do people like Cheatle get away with such B.S. testimony? Someone needs to start using a really big gavel on these liars and cheats.

Sigh... I heard Sky News call all of this "American political spectacle." They nailed it.

Well she wasn't going to resign before the questioning by the bureaucrats. She has now resigned (after questioning by the bureaucrats.)

You sure seem easy to impress. Until people are arrest and tried for dereliction of duty and several other serious charges, the entire thing is meaningless.

My point was that before questioning she still had a job and after questioning she did not. I did not say that any other progress had been made. But your interpretation that it is all meaningless - I won't be able to counter that.

Just wish they’d back it up with actual actions.

The only power they have is to request charges be brought against a person THROUGH the DOJ. Mayorkas (sp) has made them powerless. Period.

Like the old British shows "Yes Minister" and later "Yes Prime Minister" where the bureaucrats led the politician by the nose
