> "The database itself is almost meaningless," says Holman. He says the only option for those who want to get a comprehensive look at what some 2,900 staffers have filed is to review the cases one by one. "And that's just too big a job for anybody to do."

Now before I start trying to imagine a way two high power congress members could game the public information requirements between each other, I should go to sleep.
