You were satisfied with the consequences faced by Bush officials too? How many went to jail again?
Is fairly accurate, since we're going back to Watergate to find significant penalties.
Thanks for the info, btw 
Do you know if anyone's gone to jail JUST for not appearing after a subpoena? Or for just general 'non-cooperation'?
Never had heard of him, thanks for the tip
Harvey Matusow, 75, an Anti-Communist Informer, Dies
https://www.nytimes.com/2002/02/04/us/harvey-matusow-75-an-anti-communist-informer-dies.html
Harvey Matusow, a paid informer who named more than 200 people as Communists or Communist sympathizers in the early 1950's, only to recant and say he lied in almost every instance, died on Jan. 17 at his home in Claremont, N.H. He was 75. Nancy Graton, a friend, said the cause was complications of injuries suffered in an automobile crash on Jan. 2.
Mr. Matusow, who served 44 months of a five-year sentence for perjury in a federal penitentiary, created a sensation in 1955 when he revealed his many lies in his book ''False Witness'' (Cameron & Kahn). Some hailed it for exposing what they regarded as questionable tactics by Senator Joseph R. McCarthy and other zealous anti-Communists.
''At long last, the shining truth about the false accusers, the half-truth artists, the professional fabricators, the prevaricators for pay is beginning to break up through the dark and ugly clouds of doubt they have so evilly blown up,'' said Senator Margaret Chase Smith of Maine, a McCarthy target. But others remained convinced that Mr. Matusow had been telling the truth before his recantation. Attorney General Herbert Brownell called his reversal ''part of a concerted drive to discredit government witnesses.''
Mr. Matusow began in 1950 by giving the Federal Bureau of Investigation information he had obtained through his membership in the Communist Party. He became an aide to Senator McCarthy, chairman of the Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations. He also testified before the House Committee on Un-American Activities, the Senate Internal Security Subcommittee, the Subversive Activities Control Board, the Ohio Un-American Affairs Commission and the Industrial Commission of Texas, among other bodies. In addition, he was a witness in court cases against those accused of being Communists.
Among those he accused of Communist sympathies were the State Department, CBS, the Boy Scouts, the Girl Scouts, the Young Women's Christian Association and the United Nations. He said there were 500 Communist teachers in the New York City school system, for which he was a paid consultant. His testimony resulted in the folk singer Pete Seeger's being cited for contempt of Congress.
Mr. Matusow's often wildly exaggerated approach was suggested by his assertion that The New York Times had 126 Communists on the staff that produced its Sunday sections; at a time that staff had 100 people. He later signed an affidavit disavowing his accusation against The Times.
