Well, in theory he should have been giving his full attention to the hearing at hand (on potentially going to war/strikes in Syria)....so I would argue if he was seen doing anything other than focusing on the hearing (Clash of Clans, Chess, whatever on the phone), he was "caught."
Regardless, agree. No upside.
