I'm really struggling

With how we have a hard time being objective about this hearing.

We are not determining whether the filing by Romans attorney was bullshit.
It was. What matters here is only their responses to a hearing properly scheduled by a judge. Their obligation as both attorneys and private citizens was and is to be truthful in their filings and testimony.
If it is determined that either was not, it will detroy the entire case . Period , the end.
Emotions have no place in the arena of the courts. Just the facts.....
Think Michael Cohen, Michael Avenatti, etc....
Most everything they have contributed to the public discourse may be 100% true but as their ability to do anything, even under oath, was destroyed the moment their crediblity was forever compromised.
All the rest is window dressing at this point.

I'm trying really extremely hard to see lights at the end of all these tunnels.

People being grilled for possible minor infractions while egregious criminal acts are falling by the wayside.

I have my Faith which is not in 'this' world, but even so, I'm still here being affected daily by injustices and travesties which are wrecking society and life all over the globe.

out of gaming the system.

It's what they do. They know about the structural weaknesses of our system and how to exploit them.

The only connection I see is that she is alleged to have lied to the court. That is inexcusable, but still unrelated to the case against Trump.

and I assume there must be evidence to back this. Does such evidence exist and is it just the word of some Maga or has it been proven? Or is that what this hearing has yet to determine?
