HELLO TWITTER.
This is a thread of tweets about a rather arcane role in the U S. Congress, that of Parliamentarian.
There is a sad overlay to this. Many cable viewers this week saw thugs and looters who "somehow" located the Office of the Parliamentarian. WHY? HOW?

2. Something stinks, and it's not the Friday fish in the office lunchroom microwave (pre-COVID).

4. Some of the trifling foolishness of the "clowns" may have been deliberate misdirection while the true operatives did their work. Just like a pack of pickpockets will employ someone to cause a commotion while they wok quietly in the background.

5. The Parliamentarian and his staff (many of whom are attorneys) provide guidance on arcane procedural issues. They are often in the shadows but can pop out. I am sure Trump yelled at his TV at them on occasion.

As you can see in tweet above, much of their research is deep down in the weeds of the legislation that Congress has passed, often in a bit of a rush and late at night.
As they say, you don't want to now how sausage and legislation are made.

In video above. anyone notice the cot and pillow in the inner room? For those all night sessions or staying the night since you have to be back in the office in a couple of hours. Shower at the gym. Bring a change of shirt, underwear, socks/pantyhose.
SUCH a shock. This is the most genteel office suite you could imagine.
The most heartbreaking thing to me was in the outer room (probably several lawyers sit at these desks) there was a small AMERICAN FLAG in a pencil cup.

A PERFECT SIMULACRUM OF THE ERA
On January 6th, in the ransacked office of the Parliamentarian, to lower right of screen, a pencil holder with:
* Early COVID-era Saint Patrick's Day 2020 shamock antenna headpiece and
* A perky and upright American flag, among the desceration
