Must see tv
Why? Sounds boring.
You must be in the wrong sub.
I'm far more interested in policy than theater.
Policy is simply the output of politics. Politics is compared to theater all the time.
The guy is leagues smarter than any of the GOP committee members. They’re, obviously, doing this to spew conspiracy misinformation at his face but there’s a real risk of him making them look really stupid.

I think they themselves beat him to it.
Yeah but their supporters won't see or hear that cause it'll be edited out
Not to their supporters.
Isn't that the day after Trump's sentencing? Should make for a very spicy hearing.
Yep, they're just trying to give Fox News something to distract their army of red-hatted dullards with.
"They must be colluding, because that's what we'd do"
This is the best summary I could come up with:
WASHINGTON — Manhattan District Attorney Alvin Bragg, who brought the hush money case against former President Donald Trump, will testify before the GOP-led House Judiciary Committee in July, along with prosecutor Matthew Colangelo, a source familiar with the plans confirmed Tuesday to NBC News.
“The Manhattan D.A.’s Office is proud to play a crucial role in upholding and enforcing the rule of law for the people of New York," a Bragg spokesman said Tuesday, confirming the district attorney’s planned testimony.
The hearings come as Trump and his GOP allies on Capitol Hill, including Judiciary Committee Chairman Jim Jordan, R-Ohio, wage war on the justice system.
“Indeed, accusations of wrongdoing made without—and in fact contrary to—evidence undermine confidence in the justice system and have contributed to increased threats of violence and attacks on career law enforcement officials and prosecutors," the letter said.
On Friday, Bragg’s general counsel, Leslie Dubeck, responded that he would be willing to testify but needed a new hearing date to allow for the fair administration of justice in the Trump case, which will continue through the July 11 sentencing.
She also requested an opportunity to speak with Jordan’s staff about the “scope and purpose of the proposed hearing” so that he can “accommodate the Committee’s invitation while also protecting the integrity of an ongoing criminal prosecution and New York’s sovereign interests.”
