I thought OP was implying that he had dirt on anyone who would try to reprimand him. Everyone hesitates in a surveillance state.

That is exactly what I was implying maybe it was unclear.

You don't need dirt on all of congress (though I wouldn't be surprised if they had it on most of them) just key players committee leaders etc.

Hell the stuff doesn't even have to be illegal to be useful, illicit affairs have brought down presidents before.
