And once again, Congress fails to force the issue. They could refuse to accept the evasions and demand names and then threaten and hold the witnesses in contempt for failing to provide the names. They could bring in the capitol police and inform the witnesses that they would be detained if they did not answer, etc. etc., but they huff and puff and then move on and the Administration wins another one.

And this is why I have little faith that the GOP really gives a damn about Conservatives.

And to add to what you said, Congress could also force a cut off in funding to General Dynamics over this contract. There is a lot of things Congress can do, but they won't.
