House Oversight: Flim-Flam Men

It's important to know that they're keeping you in the dark and shoveling......ahhh........manure......at you.

...Making money for the party in control of the Chair is the primary function of the House Oversight Committee.  The HOC does not exist to create accountability or oversight; the HOC exists to exploit the issue for fundraising and satiate the base voters of the party in control of the Chair.  The HOC presents the illusion of accountability by constructing soundbites and member performances which are then broadcast on television for appearances to the voting audience.  It is essentially theater....

"But, but, but", you say.  They DO stuff there!  

Wrong, sucka!!

... The point of HOC hearings is to create what are now described as “viral moments” that can be used to generate money.   The second, and lesser objective, is to give the illusion of accountability while not actually ever holding anyone or anything accountable.  See prior HOC reference points like Fast and Furious, IRS targeting, Benghazi, the Twitter Files of the most recent Hunter and Joe Biden bribery schemes. If you watch the HOC Twitter hearing through the prism of expecting some form of accountability for the pay-to-play corruption, you will be frustrated and disappointed. ...

In short:  don't record HOC hearings to watch laterDo better.  See re-runs of I Love Lucy.
