"House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert (R-Ill.) said yesterday that he may challenge a judge's order allowing FBI agents to examine documents seized from a Louisiana congressman's Capitol Hill office in a bribery probe.
Hastert said he thinks Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) is "in big trouble" and made clear that the House will not join any appeal on behalf of Jefferson. But Hastert said the House separately might seek to make clear its position that the Justice Department cannot randomly and wantonly search lawmakers' offices.
"There has to be a procedure for the Justice Department to come in and start just searching any congressman's office," Hastert said on "Fox News Sunday." "We may take a fine line depending on how the negotiations are. There is a constitutional division there that we have to protect."
Last week, Chief U.S. District Judge Thomas F. Hogan denied Jefferson's request to delay the investigation while the congressman appeals the judge's earlier ruling that the office search was legal."
Dennis - STFU. A judge declared the search was correctly and lawfully administered. You are standing on shaky ground, you got caught with your foot in the mouth and now you act as though you have something you're afraid of. We the American people want you or any other slimey weasel in the congress to have NO such protection and thats exactly what the judge said.
What part of "legal" do you not understand between the ears of that big fat head?
Sorry man, but leaders like you in the party we don't need.
