What a non-issue! One could hardly see the raid as a problem of the separation of powers. It was a criminal justice matter. If Representatives are immune from criminal investigation, it’s time to change whatever law says that. If one iota of the public evidence against Jefferson is true, he has earned a GO TO JAIL card, big time.
| GO TO JAIL. GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL. DO NOT PASS HOME. DO NOT COLLECT $200. |
What if the documents confiscated implicate REPUBLICANS, or Halliburton — or, say, a BUSH brother??

“A lobby is like a night flower: it thrives in the dark and dies in the sun.†-Steve Rosen (‘formerly’ of AIPAC and currently on trial for conspiring to obtain and disclose classified national defense information to Israel.)
Brett Pfeffer, 37, of Herndon, Va., pleaded guilty in January to two bribery-related charges: conspiracy to commit bribery and aiding and abetting bribery of a public official. Jefferson’s name did not come up in the hearing in federal court, but other documents have made clear he is that public official.
Pfeffer admitted to helping broker deals between Jefferson and a northern Virginia investment executive for whom Pfeffer worked. That executive, who has not been identified in court documents, agreed to pay bribes to Jefferson after Pfeffer said the congressman would require it.
