They held that hearing the same time as another hearing of Ukrainians asking for aid. The scheduling of the UFO hearing was very much on purpose in my estimation. It's a distraction. They're only hearing it out because it can eat up news cycles like this. None of those Congress people actually think there's anything to be learned

... Huh. Shit. That would explain why Gaetz and his compatriots, in every source I've read, seemed unusually adamant on dragging it out and demanding investigation. Delay or hide the meaningful discussion that may negatively impact their potential benefactors, as one of their goals is to deny or lessen aid to Ukraine.
That's some interesting insight. Thanks.
