WHAT is the point of opening statements anyway? (during committee hearings)

[Clio the Leo]

Seriously, can we not CUT to the chase and get to Liddy already? We know what all of the Reps are gonna say anyway.

Yes Mr. Democrat, we know you're outraged, yes Madame Republican, we know you think these guys deserve a break. NOW ...... Mr. Liddy, what do YOU have to say on the matter?

Wait ...... hold on, it's time for lunch. :)

There's something basically wrong with an institution that takes a bunch of people, who are only there because they like attention, and giving them all 10 minutes to state the obvious. lol
