If Tom DeLay was the only person to get indicted, then corruption would not have been as much of an issue. But Libby got indicted, and Rove came close. Then you had Duke Cunningham and Jack Abramoff and MZM. People like Katherine Harris and Richard Pombo and John Sweeney were emblematic of GOP INSTITUTIONAL corruption. Then you had Foley. Also, if we can investigate this administration, then their legal troubles will overshadow Jefferson's.

...Of course, Alan Mollohan of West Virginia is also facing a probe, and he (like Jefferson and Murtha and Maxine Waters) is also on CREW's list of Most Corrupt Members of Congress. Two of the Democrats listed on it are under investigation. If he gets indicted before the next election day, then his troubles, combined with Jefferson's, could hurt us.
