Unfortunately the nature of Congressional hearings works against them having much of an impact in the public mind. The minority members spend their allotted five minutes crafting (usually irrelevant to the subject at hand) sound bites for cable news. The half of the audience that identifies with the minority will dismiss the entire hearing as political. Very discouraging.
I think the House Judiciary Committee has been trying. Jim Jordan has been fierce.
