20. It's not "crap". There are many good and legitimate reasons to do things behind closed doors...

... as part of their inquiry and investigation. Not everything is suitable for public consumption. Additionally, in the early days, weeks, months... there's little value in the public observing messy "sausage making" and "discovery part while they get become more familiar with exactly what it is they're working with; what they know and don't know; and how difficult it will be to get the info they need. Much of the process will be too confusing for the "general public" to understand. Additionally, there may be certain elements in the general public who are already so irrationally impatient that if they would lose interest (or confidence) if they had to witness the trickle of information; in dribs and drabs; which may or may not be accurate. Before putting on a public show, it's very wise of them to have such a complete knowledge and understanding of what happened and everyone's role to the extent that they already know the correct answer to every question they ask of witnesses while in the public arena.

and then counter their lies with "receipts"
That's all part of the discovery process.

Real life isn't a TV courtroom drama that's neatly wrapped up into a tidy three-act play. Y'all just need to learn to be patient.
