Was there ever ANY DOUBT?............
Brewster took his case to the Supreme Court. And they turned away his challenge, based on the Speech and Debate Clause of the Constitution. The reasoning was rock solid. The freedom to speak and debate does not include the freedom to take bribes in return for corrupt acts as a Member of Congress.
The Brewster case is still good law. Rep. Jefferson is toast.
P.S. Interested in a Freeper in Congress? Keep in touch with me.

Amazing ruling, that a congressional office is not a foreign embassy.
We already went round about this.
I hope Congress Smacks the Judicial and Executive Branch hard on this. They have the power to outlaw such an action and I hope they do.
I could care less about Jefferson.
The folks that think he is the issue are being decieved.
It is almost inevitable another corrupt administration like the Clintoonistas will gain control over the executive at some point. Then watch in the middle of an Impeachment Proceeding or during the prep phase the offices of those elected officials gathering evidence and preparing the impeachment will be raided. The names of the witnesses and any informats will be exposed and the impeachment will be
spiked or severely compromised.
I wish the powerful in this world were worthy of your trust on this but they are not. At least with the Congress we have 300 Little Dictators all squabling,hopefully they will leave
us alone. The other way we will have but one.

it says more that this has to be news in the first place
"The president's 45-day "cooling off period" ended Sunday with no compromise worked out but with assurances from the Justice Department that it would not seek to regain custody of the materials until Hogan ruled on Jefferson's request."
It's time for the WH to stop coddling thugs like WJ.
Tom Delay gets smeared over nothing and WJ is caught red-handed guilty. We the people DEMAND that Govt. officials get held accountable for criminal actions.
This is not a STATE SECRET!
So, do not expect the NYTimes to report on it!
LOL. I'll second that :)
Both interesting and sad how many of the people we've sent to Washington thought it important and right to interfere with this legal investigation. Food for thought...
Put the corrupt SOB behind bars. Now!
" This is total racism. I am innocent. "
" Look, I had 90 large ones in my freezer because, as a compassionate and tolerant Democrat, I was helping out a distinguished foreign dignitary."
"What happened was I got an email from Nigerian General Kachinga Cheatchusuckah, who had a problem."
" When Gen Cheatchusuckah transfers Idi Amin's secret Ugandan gold reserves
from a Swiss bank vault to a refrigerated truck I leased, it will all make sense."
Greeeeeaaaaattttt!!!! I will still get to listen to my a-hole Congressman, Sensenbrenner try to argue this is un-Constitutional.
