How do you think the senators would act if they knew voters wouldn't see their performance?



They could release transcripts, which would be far less theatrical than video and audio. Sure, transcripts may contain some grandstanding, but it's not as spicy as a 20 second tweeted clip.

The Supreme Court disallows cameras, but release audio, so those who wish to follow the court can still do so.

I think the point of those questions is just to establish a baseline of truth in congressional testimony, it's not really "stunt" related. It would become a stunt in retrospect if it were found ACB lied to Congress, which is a crime. Get as many factual comments on record as you can, and then you have a bigger quiver later.


Kleptocracy could be preferable to Ochlocracy.
