Garland needed the committee to prepare the public for eventual indictments because the case is unprecedented and the average American citizen doesnt follow politics that closely. The committee will continue to hold sporadic hearings as Garland slowly raises the temperature as a way to try and avoid backlash and violence until indictments are issued, probably next spring.
