> 1. misleading the American public into going to a series of costly wars through lies about WMDs -> not punishable

Debatable. The justice system hasn't found that, no charges have been filed within the justice system over them.

While again this is untested directly, the legislative privilege in the Constitution makes this pretty clearly not punishable through the justice system. The punishment that can be dealt out for this is at the ballot box, not through the justice system.
