Description

Chaos is currently unfolding on Twitter and here about what exactly is taking place tomorrow. Tim Burchett is apparently not going to be chairing the hearing anymore (https://twitter.com/timburchett/status/1683975649478729735?s=20), and Rep. Luna says that "we WILL be conducting field hearings" (https://twitter.com/realannapaulina/status/1683976855060377600?s=20).

An important note: the hearing is still happening tomorrow.

Instead of Tim, it is going to be overseen by Rep. Glenn Grothman (R-WI) and Rep. Robert Garcia (D-CA). (https://twitter.com/RobertGarcia/status/1683890230070325255?s=20)

After some digging, I checked Lockheed Martin's lobbying and donation status (https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/lockheed-martin/recipients?id=D00000…) regarding these politicians and this is what I found:

Quite noticable donation to Rubio (https://preview.redd.it/ierx8y00b7eb1.png?width=1069&format=png&auto=…)

Very very small for Gillibrand, but still there (https://preview.redd.it/hr2d7vl1b7eb1.png?width=1079&format=png&auto=…)

Schumer has the most donations out of all (https://preview.redd.it/hxq6akl2b7eb1.png?width=1082&format=png&auto=…)

No results for Burchett (https://preview.redd.it/nz20rmd4b7eb1.png?width=1088&format=png&auto=…)

A mediocre amount for Gaetz (https://preview.redd.it/zqkcxro9b7eb1.png?width=1085&format=png&auto=…)

Luna too, small though (https://preview.redd.it/kjs8y43gb7eb1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=…)

Even some for AOC. I included her because of her comments about her appearing at the hearing. (https://preview.redd.it/d5jrk830d7eb1.png?width=1085&format=png&auto=…)

A mere $2 to Garcia. Not much monetary power at all. (https://preview.redd.it/k168nsimb7eb1.png?width=1091&format=png&auto=…)

Am I reading this correctly? I know that these big companies have lots of fingers in lots of pies, but does this mean anything for the outcome of the hearing and disclosure in general? I tend to think not, but I'm all ears.

Edit #1: After more digging, it appears that Garcia stated that he would be the head on July 20th (https://twitter.com/RepRobertGarcia/status/1682106412883910661?s=20), 5 days ago. I'm not sure why people like Burchett and Luna are acting like this is insanely new information.

Edit #2: Sorry, here's the link to the OpenSecrets page (https://www.opensecrets.org/orgs/lockheed-martin/recipients?id=D00000…). I completely spaced giving it.

Edit #3: Here is Grothman

Not too sizable, but 100% from the organization (Lockheed) (https://preview.redd.it/9u20nlohf7eb1.png?width=1080&format=png&auto=…)
