Speaker Hastert call your office!!!
If they didn't learn that from Dan Rostenkowski, then they are stupid and/or corrupt, in either case of which they need votin' out of office.
I think the ones protesting so loudly fear that they may be next.
First I have heard of this.
One would think. Unlike DeLay, who was stripped of his Majority Leader status, and forced into retirement, over some phoney baloney allegations from a DEMOCRAT lawyer.
"....they are telling the American people, that Congress is above the law...."
you can also bet that HUNDREDS of them are cleaning incriminating documents from their offices
"One would think that Congress would be glad that a corrupt member has been caught red handed and is unmasked"
Why? Legislative bodies everywhere historically are notorious for corrupt behavior, and I see no reason why the 2006 congress should be any exception. If anything, this action probably makes a lot of congressmen a little more nervous.
Yep, makes me wonder what these congresscritters are hiding in their offices.
My commie congresscriiter was poor as a mutt with only biscuit to his name when he started feeding at the federal pig trough. Now he's a multi-zillionaire.
I'm for hanging most congresscritters just because.
For 2 years we have been watching DNC prosecutors knocking off Libbey and Delay, and just when a quid pro quo, tit for tat payback is in the pipe, the Pubbies under Hastert go wiggy-wonky?
This is not the Republican Party I voted for in the last two elections. Take your blue blooded Pubbies and stick socks in their mouths, take the RINOs and unseat them at the ballot box. Disempower the Dems by revealing their scandels to the public, which are criminal in nature, no special prosecutors needed, no hearings or Grand Jurys, just plain old criminal indictments!
Rush Limbaugh was right on his Friday program about the wresting of power away from neo conservatives, the blue blood pubbies such as McCaine and Graham wanted Tom Delay, and Karl Rove gone as bad as the Dems did.
Now the old guard fart pubbies think they have the field to themselves, but they forget. We vote, and we are not manipulatable by spun out puss-press MSM articles.
Jeffersons apprehension has upset their plans to socially re-engineer America! So the RINOS , old guard aristocrat pubbies wnat the Jefferson investigation to stop so they can continue with their plan to expand federal government, establish entitlement programs for illegal aliens, and move the USA towards a European style multicultural society.The RINOS and Dems are aristocrats who 200 years ago would have been slave owners.
Knowing what the RINOS are up to now in cahoots with the Dems, we should sharpen our knives and lay into them !
No wonder Tom Delay decided not to run!
Delay saw all this coming! He decided it just wasn't worth battling the pubbie old guard, who no longer wanted him, because they see immigration as a way to socially engineer our country away from the ideals espoused by neoconservatives, create an underclass of millions of aliens who have no loyalty to the constitution or the history of our nation, and its Liberty.
All the aliens want is money, and are unwilling to assimilate, so they will remain indentured servants who are concerned only about welfare and low wage pay checks. And the aristocratic pubbie plantation owners want them as slaves and indentured servants, to end the neoconservative movement and bring the USA into a state very much like socialist Europe
We CANNOT allow this to stand!

I hope it means you're ready to go toe-to-toe with Vicente Bush on the immigration bill.
If Congressmen complain about having their offices searched, then let's take away their offices and make them carry their legislative papers around in wheeled luggage so they can ensure their Fourth Amendment protections. < /sarcasm>
-PJ
the contrast over Delay and this one is just overwhelming...
here they have a true criminal and he gets a pass you could say, caught by the FBI.
Delay on the other hand, was lynched over a few baseless allegations by a left lawyer..
Great post.
Thanks.
I think they are scared spitless that the search light of truth will find more than plenty evil dirt in their freezers, beds, offices, shorts . . .
So far we have McKinney; no charges.
Patrick Kennedy on R&R in Minnesota.
Jefferson under executive protection for 45 days.
Just peachy.
U.S. Congressman Jefferson Collects Bribe
Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded. The bribe money was found hidden in his freezer. The plan was for the lawmaker to use the cash to bribe a high-ranking Nigerian official.
Jefferson denied he intended to go through with anything illegal. "I knew I was being videotaped," said Jefferson. "I thought I was in a movie where I play the part of a corrupt politician. The money was my fee for the role. Congressmen have it tough. Our salaries are low. We need to supplement our income from outside sources." (Senators and Representatives receive salaries of $162,100 per year.)
On the tape, Jefferson chuckles about writing in code to keep secret what the government contends was his corrupt role. As Jefferson and the informant passed notes about what percentage the lawmaker might receive, the congressman laughed and said, "All these damn notes we're writing to each other as if the FBI is watching." Later, Jefferson is shown putting the cash into his Lincoln Town Car.
One of Jefferson's associates has pleaded guilty to bribery-related charges. Vernon Jackson of Louisville, Ky., admitted paying more than $400,000 in bribes to the lawmaker in exchange for his help securing business deals for Jackson's telecommunications company.
U.S. Democrat and Republican leaders expressed outrage over a weekend FBI raid on the office of a U.S. House of Representatives member from Louisiana. "Our offices ought to be inviolable," said one senator who asked to remain anonymous. "Immunity from law enforcement is essential if we are to carry out important governmental type activities."
Bribery may not be the only "governmental type" activity taking place in the sacred halls of congress. Rumors of fornication and unauthorized disclosure of confidential information have also been making the rounds.
