Good thing the country's not broke.
There was an FBI agent on scene?
Ofcourse it never occured to the aide in the Congressmens office that sent the FBI agent to his home. BTW, I spent many wonderful days when I was a child in the Ozarks. An incident (which I have previously related to Freepers) that led to the Murder of a beloved relative at the hands of DEMOCRAT POLS forever turned me against Democrats. I know just how dangerous they can be when their power is endangered.
Apparently that strain of power hungry pols has not changed.
