So I can only conclude that, not only were the military uncooperative in not forwarding information to the elected politicians, but also that the politicians are uncooperative in that they want to prevent you from testifying. They are nickel-and-diming with your lawyer's fees at the moment, probably in order to keep you quiet or in order to get you to step out of line so that they can then discredit you.
Does that interpretation make any sense to you?
