this was an open hearing

to be followed by a closed hearing, is that correct?
perhaps the info no one was willing to discuss is too devastating for the public at this time?
remember this?

I'm curious to see the faces of the senators after the closed session ...

.... stated that's not information I can give in open setting and leave it at at that.

Right now on its face it looks like contempt of congress... I don't "feel" like answering your question is not only jerkish but not legal on its face.

the election was stolen as do many others and proof of that, and collusion by many high ranking political figures could cause outright insurrection and widespread civil uprising, if it were proven ... but that's to be avoided at all costs

I hope patient investigation and factual proof can remedy the mess we are in, not sure we will see it all tho 🤔
