I was watching the hearing today on cspan3 and after about 3 hours or so

they switched the hearing to another cspan channel and put a hearing about contempt on cspan3.

They were debating a resolution to hold Barr in contempt if he doesn't keep his bargain with Nadler.
There were 8 Dems and 4 republicans on the panel.

The Dems wanted to set it up in advance so it would be ready to go when needed. Of course that's exactly what the repubicans didn't want. They preferred the slow route.

I didn't watch it to the end, but with the majority the Dems had, I would venture to guess the action passed and will be ready to go when needed.

Perhaps there's another way in. I watched Nadler's committee live on Youtube.

It seems wrong that a citizen should have to pay a telecommunications company for access to CSPAN. When did that happen?

THEY.

This is something that at some point would not surprise me one bit.
It is the way of the authoritarian dictatorship.

information "Key evidence" that Barr is going to deliver.

I understand that if Dems do not find appropriate what Barr delivers they will hold him in contempt, but then what, another week lost?

Why do Dems give so much when they have the right to the information? I don't get it.

Barr already offered them "part" of it, and that they could "look but not take" items before. Nadler turned them down before, why are they falling for it now?
