The basic details were OBVIOUS and anyone paying attention knew what they were.

And btw, the Senate and the Congress members have STAFF members specifically dedicated to sections of important legislation. Their job is to know what issues the particular member is most concerned about.

The discussion about the particulars continued for WEEKS AND WEEKS. The deal itself includes a smaller number of items than were included in the early discussions.

What do you think, the Senate and Congress members had no insight into what was in the deal during those weeks? You think the President, Harry, and Nancy weren't counting the votes?

The entire premise is silly.
