Former intelligence official says information came from multiple colleagues but couldn’t ‘go into specifics’ at Congressional hearing into cover-up claims
I’ve seen some clips of him recounting some personal anecdotes. I didn’t expect any real evidence to come from this. I’m not American so maybe someone can chime in but what exactly is the point of these hearings? There have been a bunch with tech CEOs but other than the speakers boomering the questions, what actions are taken after them?
It’s political theater, a pleasant distraction where Democrats and Republicans can sit on the same committee and pretend that the government is a functional entity. No one on the committee is going to have it used against them in campaign ads, and committee members get paid a per diem for sitting in and asking questions (which is one of the reasons why congressmen want committee assignments so much)
