      Instead of asking 'who', maybe ask 'why'. I've watched hearings where this was SO noticeable and as time passed, what was being said was proven to be lies and cover. The head-bobbers were staffers or associates, sometimes the public, but more alarmingly members of Congress. They're strategically placed to be w/in camera view behind the person at the table. It's all a show to convince the public that their narrative is true and shouldn't be questioned.
