Congress critters, here's an idea for your hearings with any of Rump's minions: Seat a panel of experts right next to

the person being questioned. They should be experts on topics the person will be asked about. For example, at the Hegseth hearing, one of the experts could have been an inspector from the International Energy Agency. When Hegseth started spouting his line about the Iran War being preferable to Iran having nuclear weapons, the questioner could address the IEA expert and ask about Iran's record of compliance with the Obama nuclear deal.

The questioners could use the experts to instantly fact-check these liars. The hearings would then have the power of a trial to reveal the truth right then and there, rather than just let them dodge questions, refuse to ask questions, or attack their questioners, like Pam Bondi did. The Rump gang would still dodge, deflect, and attack, but the experts, through their seriousness, would just highlight how ridiculous the people being questioned really are.
