Therein lies the problem.
How many Congressmen knew? And will they be to busy covering their own asses for allowing this to happen, thus letting Bush off.
Given the past events, unless there is a huge outcry, Congress will make a little noise and do nothing substantive. After all is not the game to protect your own ass? Screw the country, they have their Congressional pensions and lifelong benefits to worry about.
