Is it live? Or Memorex?

A deposition is the statement of someone involved in the case, either a party to the suit, or an expert.
I've been both.
Now, when it comes to a trial, the parties can be called to testify. When that happens they're subject to cross examination.
Oh. My. Sides.
Now, to be clear, I'm not saying that terrible things didn't happen on Jan 6. I'm not even denying that they were illegal. However, our system of jurisprudence is based upon the presumption of innocence and the right of the accused to question his accuser. I don't see this here.
Does anyone?

Only if you have opposing council. We have a rigged "fact finding" committee. Yet, they still aren't calling people to testify in person, unless they are hand-picked.

In a deposition , opposing counsel (your lawyer) has little leeway. All he can do is object for the record so that your testimony can be impeached during trial.
Remember, a deposition is NOT a trial, and the rules are very different.

As far as I can see they have picked a lot of people whose opinions and experiences really don't matter. Twitter employees? Really?
The real problem with this is that if the GOP takes over in January we will now be subjected to endless investigations and hearings about the Floyd riots and the Roe Wade protests and the Democrats' encouragement and support thereof. Ad nauseum.
Fiddling while Rome burns.
