Having seen this performative behaviour I think that it absolutely reasonable for non-US citizens who are not obliged to appear, to refuse to appear before congressional hearings. This is not about fact finding, it is the very opposite. It is political grandstanding. An Epstein inquiry would be no less performative. (See the Clinton's appearance.)
This sort of behaviour will further reinforce to the rest of the world what a low ebb US politics is at. This is a show trial.
I find it astonishing that people are still going on about hydroxychloroquine and ivermectin which have been repeatedly shown to be ineffective in well conducted scientific studies. These people are rewriting science and history like soviet era show trials.
