Odds are it is political grandstanding to make it look like they want to *do something* while understanding that if they actually do something the reactions and consequences won't be good for them.
We get it all the time in the US Congress; they hold hearings, bring in celebrities or CEOs, get some press, do some handwringing, go home and do nothing.
It's political spectacle for the peanut gallery.
