Ah, yes, Bush cronies.

Step 1: Get subpoena'd to testify about your boss's actions
Step 2: Plead the 5th, admitting that you did things that were illegal but invoking your right to not be forced to testify against yourself.
Step 3: Be granted congressional immunity, so the 5th Amendment no longer protects you since you now cannot be prosecuted based on your testimony for the illegal things you admitted you did in Step 2
Step 4: Deny doing anything illegal, at all, ever.

What consequences are there for such a blatant contradiction, I wonder?

It should be perjury (because you admitted to doing something illegal, under oath, then later denied that, also under oath - one of those has to be a lie), or at least contempt of court/congress/whatever. Unlikely anyone will have the bones to even lay charges, let alone have them stick, though.
