There are theoretical consequences for lying to congress, but I can't recall a high profile case of them being applied to anyone. Famously James Clapper, then director of the NSA, told congress that the NSA does not collect data on Americans[1] which is what inspired Snowden to leak the info on NSA data collection. Despite this, he went on to continue serving as head of the NSA right up until the end of Obama's term in office. [1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Clapper#Testimony_to_Con... |
