politically motivated action? well, the committee really did destroy its own credibility and how it proceeded. both sides have pointed fingers at each other about a relatively unprecedented framing of this committee that have no members effectively appointed by the opposing party. these committees generally have left to the individual parties to select their members. but even after that fight was over, the committee could have gone further to guarantee greater balance. they could have allowed for more witnesses to give opposing views, alternative views or interpretations. they didn t. this was highly scripted. they brought in a producer, they had members reading from teleprompters. witnesses were sort of like
