So I have seen senate hearings before. But they seem like informal meetings where they ask for info from these organizations.
Is there any weight to them? Could they really just stone wall the senate and not really give a damn?
They have to respond to a summons, but are they held responsible for perjury? And can the senate really do anything if they don’t like something?
I don’t understand the point of it, if normally there is a court and legal system for this.

It’s a crime to lie in Congressional hearings. If they are caught lying, they can be tried for perjury, if the DoJ chooses to charge them.
