The ONLY way this will happen is to WIN BACK ONE OR BOTH CHAMBERS of Congress. That will REMOVE the gutless GOP COWARDS from the Chair positions and replace them with OUR members so that the hearings can commence. Only THEN will some kind of oversight start to happen.

Otherwise we have no control over "official" Committee scheduling or activities and have been forced to do "shadow hearings" to carry out that function - at least "for the record".
