The committee had already held three out of eight of its summer hearings by the time Przygoda announced his role. <\/p>\n<p>The committee\u2019s employment of television news producers to dramatize its proceedings showcases how the partisan probe has approached its work of persecuting political opponents in a public forum absent a legitimate defense.
