Isn't it confirmed that they've lied under oath to Congress before?


It is confirmed they have lied under oath to Congress about the very thing Snowden blew the whistle on.

So yes, they are perfectly acceptable sources of information regarding Snowden.


Since lying to Congress is a crime, who was charged?


Being charged with a crime would require the people who could charge him actually wanting to charge him. If congress wanted him to lie in the way that he did, clearly they wouldn't charge him after the fact.
