Nevertheless Trafficant is GUILTY. Expel him. I'd rather Congress/Senate spend its energy expelling the real crooks. Traficant is nailed and Toricelli/Condit get to walk? That's too bizarre. What ever you may think of him, Traficant certainly wasn't as deep into it as Toricelli, and certainly wasn't involved in the obstruction of justice in an intern's death.

You completely miss my point. To not expel Trafficant just because Moran, Torch, Corzine, et. al. haven't been prosecuted is akin to claiming that a auto theif shouldn't go to jail because there are still murderers and rapists on the loose.
Sorry, enforce justice here, and then try and bring to justice the other crooks. To not do so would only offer them a way to wiggle out of their judgement, if/when that time comes.
