   Anyone know when this thing, where Congress brings in people who do not work for the government, in order to yell at them, started? Examples include independent journalists, presidents of private universities, and CEOs of social media companies. Why is this Congress' place, and why do the people bother coming? Are they basically accepting a public beating in place of legislation that might affect them?
