A Parliament is defined this way:
Generally, a modern parliament has three functions: representing the electorate, making laws, and overseeing the government via hearings and inquiries.I have borrowed the title of this post from a book by PJ O'Rourke I read a long time ago. I borrowed it because it fits. The Jan 6 committee is a Parliament of Whores. You can see them above. Why am saying this?
First, it's a star chamber. It's not bipartisan. For the first time in US history, a minority leader was not allowed to seat his choices on a committee. Nancy Pelosi removed Jim Jordan and Jim Banks because they would have been effective at shredding the testimonies of the witnesses and provide balance to the committee. Bennie Thompson made a further joke of the proceedings when he barred any investigation or involvement of the Speaker of the House's office. There is no cross examination. The accused has no representation. It's the perfect exemplar of a kangaroo court.
It was rigged right from the start.
The first hearing was on June 9 and has dragged on and on and on with magical new witnesses and a clincher each time. But now it's gone too far. Right in the middle of the election season the Whores issued a subpoena to Donald Trump.
The House Select Committee on Jan. 6 issued a subpoena to former President Donald Trump on Friday in relation to the 2021 riot at the Capitol, and the committee's decision could influence nationwide midterm elections just over two weeks away.This could not be more freaking obvious. It's another attempt to rig an election. Kellyanne Conway:Trump is requested to appear for a deposition on Nov. 14 at 10 a.m., either in the U.S. Capitol or via video conference, and provide records regarding his actions on the day when rioters stormed the Capitol building on Jan. 6, 2021. The committee did not ask Trump to appear for an open hearing.
The subpoena requests documents and communications between Trump and aides, staff and colleagues from Signal, an encrypted messaging app.
"If President Trump was central to the January 6th Committee's proceedings, why are they ending with him rather than starting with him? With a few weeks before the midterm elections and a few months until Republicans assume majority control of Congress, reasonable people can be excused for thinking this subpoena is somewhere between symbolic and suspicious," she added.Suspicious? Give me an effing break. This isn't suspicious. It's utter bullsh*t and that is how it should be characterized. These Whores are trying to poison the waters once again as they did in 2016 and the four following years.
Remember this jackwad?
His name is David Weiss, the USA from Delaware.

President Trump only has to “Hold On.”
P.J. Really had a way with words and humor.
He used the word whores because it is strong and distasteful.
It gets your attention.
I think that the better word is thieves.
A Parliament of Thieves.
A Bureaucracy of Thieves.
A Thieving President.
A Judicial System of Thieves.
A Nation That Tolerates Thievery.
Whores is a good term, because it conveys they will sell out themselves (and, by extension, their constituents and their country) for money. Thievery is just part of their whorish nature.
Bkmk
You make a good point.
At least, whores offer a valuable service for their fee. And, it’s a consensual transaction.
If they were real whores, just based on looks, they’d go broke.
