The committee ignored sworn testimony that both knew they were getting special treatment. It's not a problem with the rules - it's a problem with the corrupt mandarins who are supposed to enforce them. The entire lot, save a few like Coburn, Inhofe, Demint and Sessions, needs to be voted out of office. The corruption is nearly as deep on the GOP side.
I agree. I had thought of adding “or the interpreters of the Senate rules are crooks, too,” but got lazy and pressed Send.
