Obviously it worked - since everyone who supported her did it on the basis that one senator was campaigning while the other was fact finding.
That's the point: it wasn't a fact-finding tour authorized by Congress. Just because he took a couple of other congresscritters with him doesn't make it a congressional delegation.

A panda walks into a cafe. He orders a sandwich, eats it, then draws a gun and fires two shots in the air.

"Why?" asks the confused waiter, as the panda makes toward the exit. The panda produces a badly punctuated wildlife manual and tosses it over his shoulder.

"I'm a panda," he says at the door. "Look it up."

The waiter turns to the relevant entry and, sure enough, finds an explanation.

"Panda. Large black-and-white bear-like mammal, native to China. Eats, shoots and leaves."
