They shall in all Cases, except Treason, Felony and Breach of the Peace, be privileged from Arrest during their Attendance at the Session of their respective Houses, Sounds like Felony to me.

"Privileged from arrest" is the key concept. The idea is that a duly elected member cannot be prevented from voting and speaking unless he's charged with one of these crimes.
There is no protection from legitimate warrants for a congressman's office. If there were, we'd have created a law-free zone right on Capitol Hill. If that's what Hastert thinks the Constitution requires, he's too dumb, constitutionally and politically, to serve in any major public office, let alone be our leader in the House.

Sounds like Felony to me. Now let me see if I understand this, the house of Representative's leadership is harboring a Felon?
