The laws don’t apply here.
The FBI requested a federal judge to issue a search warrant for U.S. Rep. William Jefferson’s office based on a videotape and evidence of a crime. Yet, the speaker of the House and House majority leader are complaining. Are they worried that their offices may be searched based on evidence of criminal activity?
Criminal laws don’t apply to congressmen? They consistently exempt themselves from laws they pass, so it shouldn’t be a surprise that they consider themselves to be above the law. What brazen hypocrisy by Republicans, especially when Jefferson is a Democrat.
Those offices belong to the taxpayers. We only let congressmen occupy them.
God forbid that Dennis Hastert would have a CD of child pornography in a federal office. He might be facing 10 years in prison.
