What happens in Congress, stays in Congress. Visit your guy (gal) today.

Bring money for a good time.

Doesn’t surprise me. And, he will be voted back into office by his constituents, once again. Congress will welcome him, not censor him. This is the “ethics” today, in a democrat government.

Just one more sign our country is falling apart at the seams. We are a nation of laws, not enforcement.
He’s just one of the many corrupt, elitist, walking piles of manure.

Well, why not just try the corrupt Congresscritter (an oxymoron if ever there was) based on taking the bribes? Drop the requirement for evidence found in the Critter’s Office for later.

Put him in jail (someplace nice a peaceful like Attica) then try him for corruption after the SCOTUS makes their decision.

The Supreme Court refused on Monday to hear the Justice Department appeal seeking to restore the FBI’s full authority to search the offices of members of Congress under investigation for crime…

kinda scary to think if the FBI had a blank check to go into all the offices and see what’s going on.. after all, ‘The MOST ethical Congres.. EVER’ should have nothing to hid..

Also, as public servants, one would hope that they have everything above the table.. after all, being on the public teat and all.. (mumbles.) ought to be a law…

In other news, the sale of small office freezers have gone up in the Washington DC area.. about 530 have been sold already..

LGM..

isn’t Vitter and Craig republicans? and I am pretty sure I saw their names on here.. but that wasn’t on YOUR terms.. so I digress..

If this moron were a republican, he would have been Duke Cunninghams (R) cell-mate for a couple years now.

I believe John Murtha is having a Sub-Zero freezer installed in his office even as we speak. It’s the loophole he’s been looking for ever since the FBI video…

Rep. Jefferson’s legal team has fought the bribery investigation and indictment by arguing the Speech and Debate Clause in the Constitution — which bars executive branch interference with legislative branch office functions — was violated during the FBI raid.

Because, as we all know, bribery and corruption are everyday “legislative branch office functions”. Reversing the decision would have a serious and suppressive impact on free speech initiatives expressed as bribes and kickbacks.

Sooooo, the Halls and offices of Congre$$ are now considered a ‘Holy of Holies’ shrine that only the High Priests can enter.

What an evil person it is who hides behind the cloak of Justice… with a bloody dagger in one hand and a middle finger extended with the other.

Ok, so you can’t go into a Congressmans office even with a warrant…

But all the Emails and documents, including those of the Presidents private lawyer, are fair game?

Term Limits would help, at least they would each have less time to do damage.
