Well, most of Congress received such donations.

But ABC's bogus charge that Hastert is under investigation has been thoroughly debunked.

Personally, I think Hastert is being slimed in part, because of his vow to let the amnesty bill die in committee if a majority of Republicans oppose it.

If you really wonder why both Hastert and Pelosi (as well as a lot of other congressmen) were disturbed by this search, read the above text that someone posted from his web site, and consider that this is the first such search in 219 years.

So let Hastert be disturbed. They had a valid search warrant and it was executed. My feeling is "too bad."

True, and their sticking up for Jefferson indicates that they are perfectly willing to raise this bogus constitutional issue as a way of preserving the status quo. Lavish donations from special interest groups to see their pet legislation enacted are the life blood of Congress, and Hastert comes off as somebody intent on preserving this tradition, hardly a noble cause in my opinion.
