No asshole, listen to Trey Gowdy on the same process. The principle IS the same and there ARE Republicans on the committees asking questions.

The committee’s preference for private interviews over public hearings has been questioned,” former Rep. Trey Gowdy’s Benghazi committee said in its final report.
“Interviews are a more efficient and effective means of discovery. Interviews allow witnesses to be questioned in depth by a highly prepared member or staff person.
In a hearing, every member of a committee is recognized — usually for five minutes — a procedure which precludes in-depth in-depth focused questioning.
Interviews also allow the committee to safeguard the privacy of witnesses who may fear retaliation for cooperating or whose work requires anonymity, such as intelligence community operatives.”
I have no expectation that no matter how may times you read the above that you'll understand it.
But here he is again and he clearly states that you are, again, badly misinformed and completely full of shit:
Congressional interviews: Trey Gowdy

Both witnesses and members of Congress conduct themselves differently in interviews than when in the public glare of a hearing. Neither have an incentive to play to the cameras. Witnesses have no incentive to run out the clock as long-winded evasive answers merely extend the length of the interview. Likewise, Members have no need to interrupt witnesses to try to ask all their questions in five minutes.
Perhaps more importantly, political posturing, self-serving speeches, and theatrics serve no purpose in a closed interview and, as a result, the questioning in interviews tends to be far more effective at discovering information than at public hearings. For these reasons, nearly all Executive Branch investigations are conducted in private and without arbitrary time constraints.
Move your lips as you read the underlined part, though i doubt it will help.
This is no less true in a Legislative Branch investigation, yet the manner in which the media portrays these investigations is starkly different.
