Congressional hearings are nothing more than a vehicle for members of Congress to get their faces in front of the voting public and try to convince us that they are actually doing something. In fact, they are a distraction and a way for Congress to avoid doing their primary job which is legislating.
You will notice that most of these questions are not actually questions. Rather, they are a statement by the person asking the question.
Hearings are political and the members hope that they will assist them in future elections.
In the meantime, so many important things that Congress and the president should be working on for the good of the American public are going by the wayside. Nothing is getting done that helps the American people and that's the way Congress wants it.
Every time a member of Congress votes on something, they alienate half of their constituency. There is a huge downside. By conducting hearings, there is no downside. They are viewed by the public of trying to bring someone or something to justice. It is all a sham.

Of course, just like your Demigod, you would love to pretend it didn't happen and to see this.....
'all just go away.' 
Sorry, but the security of this nation and the potential of having another country interfere with our democratic process, with possibly the help of those at the highest levels in our government...supersedes you being uncomfortable with what may expose your party as traitors.
You're just gonna have to live with it.
