House Speaker Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) told President Bush yesterday that he is concerned the Federal Bureau of Investigation’s (FBI) raid on Rep. William Jefferson’s (D-La.) congressional office over the weekend was a direct violation of the Constitution.

What does Hastert have to hide? All the facts are clear, the Rat was caught,
not a debatable issue. Hastert must be covering here for something else.

Yea, congress itself.

If members of congress can't be protected from breaking laws, then how are they supposed to be corrupt?

Does congress have a procedure it would recommend or legislation it would suggest (or any laws on the books) about how to proceed if a legislative official is using or hiding evidence of corruption in their office?

The whole thing is worrisome. I posted on another thread, we only know about the corruptions we know about. How many other corruptions that we don't know about?

If I read this correctly, the guy was caught taking $400,000 in bribe money. But they only found $90k in his freezer. Where did the rest go?

$400,000 for a congressman's vote seems like a lot of money, which leads me to suspect he may have been a bag man, and redistributed that $400,000 to others in on his corruptions.

And Hastert is our last line of defense against Shamnesty?

Our founding fathers are rolling in their graves.
