Wrong Jefferson, butthead!
Perhaps, but it appears that Pelosi (and other senior Congresscritters, including Republican ones) are pretty hopping mad that Justice executed that search warrant for his office.
Yeah, well I think they have a point. Imagine the consequences if the president could get search warrants on all his congressional enemies. Nixon would have drooled buckets at the possibilities.
They do. But they'd have a better one if they'd stop whining and get started on the process for accomodating such things -- I dunno, maybe the AG consults with the leadership or the Ethics Committee or something if he's not getting responses to his subpoenas. Because when the membership is storing bribe money in the Birdseye boxes it's pretty damn apparent that they're not doing a sufficient job policing themselves. This thing, the Cunningham thing, ABSCAM way back when -- a lot of perfectly good corruption busting is done by the Justice department and I'd hate to think that they all get a pass if they're smart enough to store the really incriminating stuff in their filing cabinets at the office instead of at home.
I wonder how many of his supporters are now walking around incognito after giving up their hats to wrap the money.The affadavit says on page 27 that the 90,000 dollars was wrapped in 10,000 dollar increments in tin foil.
Just dip the money in water before you throw them in the fridge, and voila.What, you've never been asked to pay for something in cold, hard cash?
That sort of explains why the GOP hasn't been making serious hay on this issue. The last thing they want is for the FBI to have a free hand in checking the records in their offices. Right now they've alienated Bush so much that they might fear he will retaliate with his executive officer powers. And woe betide if a Democrat should be elected in two years.
