Who benefits from open hearings? | Rachel Maddow | MSNBC

44 comments

  1. If you have “open hearings”, where will all the lobbyists and dark money “negotiators” be able to do their work? Sounds pretty unfair to them Rachel….pretty unfair….
    Next you will want accountability…

    1. @mythbuster we could do much, much worse…as the last four years and Fox Newsotainment has proven….

    1. Doesn’t do any good to be transparent when there are two sets of laws, one for the rich and one for the common folk.

    2. @Xk Xk And what exactly would you do about the situation? They built most of Trumps wall and there are video’s all over the internet on how people are still getting over it as if it wasn’t even there, America has always had a sensitive spot in their hearts for children, if Biden would have sent military out there to turn these kids crossing the boarder around, then you Trump supporters would use that against him and that’s what the republicans want, that’s why they handed out the Biden shirts at the boarder.

    3. Vance Gilbert Trump is a stooge russian asset. he’s had two eastern bloc wives. in the end i believe much more will be learned about how much he has been ‘handled’

  2. Parliament , Senate any legislators power representative should be absolutely transparent for public .

    1. Republicans see that without Trump, lying to your face isn’t as effective anymore only their supporters are dumb enough to believe them.

    2. The only reason to have ‘closed’ hearings is when an official is discussing National Security Issues…. otherwise, they should always be public.

    1. Democrat Owned ABC’s ( Disney ) Good Morning America highlighted 9 year old Trans boy Desmond is Amazing accompanied to the wild Cheers of the Democrat Voters in the Audience.

      The sexualization of children is a BIG part of the Democrats agenda.

    2. More and more lies are exposed, like the army who lied about Mike Flynn’s brother, Charles Flynn. Charles Flynn now _was_ in on the decision on Jan. 6th to hold the National guard back and not let them in to help the police when they were being overrun by the rioters as the rioters swarmed into the Capitol. And what about guided tours in advance, the emergency buttons that were removed from desks, the people that were replaced in the last weeks in the Pentagon? Only the truth will protect America from this happening again.

  3. Amen sister. 🙏🏽

    An informed citizenry is vital to democracy.

    The shadow games of privies vs civvies aren’t cutting it anymore.

    1. @Ezajur Rahman I think everyone’s definition of those categories is different and let’s be real, these ideas abstract ideologies exist on a continuum, and change with context. Nothing is so categorized into rigid groups

      We can speak of trends and patterns and we can speak of more or less within context but anyone who thinks rigidly susceptible to tribal ignorance

      But I understand

  4. I’ve bought the popcorn for the open hearings, the public needs transparency, n fact I imagine they will demand it.

  5. It would also help mending the image of the US with the rest of the world. Even if democracy is imperfect in America, the restoration of legislative power and of the rule of law (in courts) is a necessary boost to fight authoritarianism everywhere.

  6. probably the ones that like defining the narrative then asking a loaded question and giving the answer for them and not letting them talk…., we have seen that dog and pony show before……..

  7. The obsolete wish acly fade because pollution findingsinitially remember amidst a motionless nepal. kind, vague lettuce

  8. Yes we all need to have that open hearings… After all we have gone through we deserve to hear with our own ears

    1. Why not with Trump? Would have been exposed, Wouldn’t have be able to carry on the absolute rediclous noise for as long.

  9. How about open hearings regarding Cuomo the Granny Killer?
    “NOOOOOOOOO – tRump ONLY” – The left
    Then you don’t want open hearings.

  10. The wretched brain nally switch because effect trivially mine astride a deranged layer. numerous, clumsy pin
