I think it is interesting that Congress is incensed over the FBI searching the office of Congressman William Jefferson. Jefferson has been under a cloud of suspicion for a long time. Congress has been aware that the Justice Department issued a subpoena for Jefferson's records nine months ago. In the meantime two people have pled guilty to bribing Jefferson. And it is reported that there is a video of an FBI informant giving Jefferson a $100,000 bribe, $90,000 of which was apparently found in Jefferson's freezer when the FBI searched his home. My question is, why hasn't Congress taken action to investigate Jefferson? The impression is that Congress feels that the laws they pass for the rest of us do not apply to them. The reaction of the Republican leaders is particularly disappointing since one of the tenants of the "Contract with America" that put them into power was that the laws they pass should apply to them as well as the people. I guess it is another case of "power corrupts."
