He will be tried in Virginia...

Can you explain why? Did the crime(s) supposedly occur there?

I will bet you right now that the defense will move to get a change of venue to DC. Much harder to convict a black Dem politician there.

Don’t leave out the Clintoons who haven’t provided the truth behind the VWF murder. Oh, I forgot, they claimed it was suicide. Yeah, right! They have more “dead associates” than any funeral home.

Quite possibly Gonzales got his people to do a day's work and they went out and got the evidence they needed FROM OTHER SOURCES.

This is the problem with Gonzales ~ he thought he needed to show he could be a tough guy with Hispano-American border patrol people so he got his gumbah Sutton to concoct a case and then they railroaded a couple of guys into prison for minor administrative infractions.

In this case, Gonzales didn't care that our traditions (if not his) held the precincts of Congress to be under the total jurisdiction of the Congress and its officers and authorized a midnight raid of unprecedented proportions.

So, we find out in the end that he's just an Hispano-American thug who even the Democrats find too obnoxious for belief, AND the evidence against Jefferson was just laying there in the open ready to be picked up by any investigator willing to do real work.

What was that about Constitutionalists? I think you might want to check with your lawbreaking brothers we'd all like to deport back to their homelands.

The Speaker of the House did not authorize the FBI to conduct the raid, a practice that dates back, in this country, all the way to the First Continental Congress, and even further back to the execution of Charles I in England.

Alberto Gonzales himself directed that the raid be undertaken. The man has been a total failure as Attorney General due, in substantial part, to the fact that he simply does not adhere to American norms of jurisprudence.

A Federal crime may be presented in any Federal District Court that the prosecutor wishes.

Hence, a Federal offense committed in California might be tried in Alaska or Florida.

I would say that the prosecutor felt that he has a better chance of conviction and sentence in front of that particular bar.

“As for the $100,000, the government says Jefferson got the money in a leather briefcase last July 30 at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Arlington”

I lurk, don’t post and don’t know the posting rules or no link...but all his ‘transactions’ took place in Virginia.

BTW, since Fox now has the highest ratings, do we consider them MSM now?

Don't be fooled. Fox may be "conservative" in comparison to the other networks, but it is definitely part and parcel of the MSM.

Honcho Rupert Murdoch supported Her Royal Thighness for Senate in NY last year and is active in Bubba's "Clinton Global Initiative." (Look that one up if you don't think it's left.) Recently, Murdoch gave a speech to his NY Post employees outlining a grand design for his company to fight global warming. It contained the frequent use of Al Gore-style meaningless buzzwords.

Fox might score a few points for covering this indictment, but they merit the same tough scrutiny by conservatives that the rest of the MSM deserves.

they railroaded a couple of guys into prison for minor administrative infractions

Minor "administrative" infractions like firing their sidearms fifteen times and then forgetting to file a report about it.

Or leaving a perp, as they thought, dead on the scene without calling for EMS.

What would be a major administrative infraction by comparison?

In this case, Gonzales didn't care that our traditions (if not his) held the precincts of Congress to be under the total jurisdiction of the Congress and its officers and authorized a midnight raid of unprecedented proportions.

I was unaware that Gonzales was an "other" whose traditions are not "our" traditions.

Not so subtly phrased.

I didn't know that it was an American tradition to just allow Congressmen to hide material evidence of crimes in their offices.

How old is this tradition of corruption?

"Wouldn’t it be nice to see a law-breaking Congress critter being hand cuffed on the floor of the House (or Senate), read his Miranda rights and dog-walked out while the cameras were running!"

Only one? I would like to see them ALL treated in such a way. And then make new rules on who can be a Congress critter.

First rule: No Congress critter shall have attended law school and/or completed a Law Degree and passed the Bar.

I can't believe that. The prosecutor might have some discretion in some cases, but there are venue rules in the law!
