Wonder how their "Flocks" feel about it
My opinion - Outrage that Senate would dare do such a thing

This is a problem almost as old as TV itself. These charlatans have been fleecing their flocks for a long time, and nothing's been done about it except "investigations". The God of these phony preachers always seems to want money in exchange for a "blessing".
In America, you can get away with a lot - if you cloak it under the shroud of religion.

is that only in America? Here I thought many places in the world fall for much under the mask of "religion." I have mixed feelings about the investigation. Do I think it's an outrage to anyone that TV preachers are being investigated? No. If somebody wants to sit in front of their TV and send Joel Osteen money is anyone else business? No. There will always be charlatans and people who fall for their tricks, whether it's on TV or not. Who are we to intervene? Hopefully it makes some people stop and think, but I highly doubt the televangelist industry will crumble because of some government attention.
