Congressional hearings are a chance for politicians to show the folks back home that they are actually doing their job. It is not enough to bring some money back to their fiefdoms for some obscure museum.
The optics of Jill Biden sitting in front of a group of legislators with a box of Kleenex to wipe away the tears are not going to help Republicans in the midterm elections.
All the claims of the Fifth Amendment made by the political hacks in the past week are more than enough to expose the corruption of trying to hide the mental state of Joe Biden for four years. Yes, I know they haven't been convicted by a jury, but one doesn't plead the Fifth if they haven't done something wrong. The presumption of innocence applies to the seating of jurors; the rest of us can draw our own conclusions.
Speaking of fifths, I need one every time I listen to any number of Democrats in a congressional hearing.

But that's not what they do. Instead, they grandstand.
