The Republicans pictured were also bad guys. Their party was in control of both houses of Congress and the White House at the time of the hearing. Instead of reporting the problem out of committee with the recommendation for some legislative repair of the problem, which clearly could have been enacted, they remained silent and let the issue die in committee.

The Republicans are as complicit in letting this happen as the Democrats. They all ought to be thrown out with the garbage.
