I hope that he resigns swiftly, and that Democrats don't do what Republicans did and try to defend or excuse him.

Cut line.

37. I agree wholeheartedly.

But you know if this was a repub congressman, today would be the last day of this story. Then it would be back to the Duke rape case. But you can bet, this will become bigger in the msm than anything Rove, Lay, Skilling, Cunningham, Limbaugh or Osama Bin Laden ever did.

Thanks Jefferson, THEY HAVE YOU ON TAPE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[rodeodance]

39. saying even Repugs are wondering How did his office get raided. WHO

ordered that.

[LA lady]

43. House lawyers denied access

The FBI's raid on the office of Congressman William Jefferson (D-LA) was the first such raid on Capitol Hill in history and came about only after lawyers for the House of Representatives refused to turn over the material the FBI sought, according to officials familiar with the case.

At the request of the FBI, the House General Counsel's office had secured copies of the documents and computer files being sought in the bribery investigation from Jefferson's office.

But officials say the House lawyers then refused to turn over the documents to the FBI.

The refusal by the House Counsel led the FBI to seek a search warrant from Judge Thomas Hogan to send agents into Jefferson's Rayburn Building office, room 2113, according to officials.

"Left with no other method, the government is proceeding in this fashion," states the search warrant application filed by FBI agent Timothy Thibault.

The warrant was issued by Judge Hogan last Thursday and instructed Capitol Hill police "to provide immediate access" to Jefferson's office.
