The real problem is with congress.

People appear in congressional hearings, lie, lie, lie.

Congress continues to send money to their departments and does nothing at all to punish them for the lies.

Congress should revisit funding for NSA and dock them for 80% of their appropriation as a punishment for lying.

The persons who lied should be forced out of office one way or another.

But nothing will be done.

We will get the usual letters begging for donations with the line: “We are committed to cleaning up department xxxx...please send more money.”

When they get the money, what happens? Nothing except you are on the sucker list and you get another letter.

You're right; congress thinks they can make a few news-bytes, blow some smoke, and then things'll go away.

Like we've seen: Fast and Furious, IRS, NSA, Benghazi, Libya Kinetic Military Action, ObamaCare (its passage, its implementation, it's arbitrary enforcement, its subsidization WRT the congressional staff) and so forth.
