Congress. I wonder

Helen Mirren is an accomplished actor and clearly an expert on the subject of acting, drama, theater etc. Recently she played the part of a Jewish woman struggling to recover family art seized by the Nazis.  The movie, based on a true story, is just that a movie.  Its not a documentary, a non-fiction book, or a judicial investigation and Ms. Mirren's lines were written for her.  Nonetheless, a Congressional committee considering legislation to protect such claims by Jewish Americans felt it necessary to subpoena testimony from Ms. Mirren on the subject.  And people wonder why we are frustrated with politics, politicians, Congress etc.  Who's next, Spongebob on water quality? Bernie Sanders, Donald Trump anyone?
