1. Muddy the waters??? Why bother
Everyone knows the scandals are bi-partisan. Haven't you been watching faux news and msnbc?

2. Interesting that more Repugs took offense at the search
of Jefferson's congressional offices (maybe that's where repugs stash the cash)

anyway, speech and debate clause doesn't cover "funding," imho.

6. They'll blame it on Clinton
Dennis Hastert is a member of the United States Congress;
Bill Clinton was President of the United States.


There's your connection...

7. the waters are already muddy
with the exception of the ABC news story - the blather heads are focused on whether or not the FBI can use a LEGAL WARRANT to raid a congressional office

that many members of congress are "upset" by this doesn't indicate a sudden attack of concern for privacy rights -- where was the bi-partisan screaming when the NSA story broke? Instead the blather was "if you have nothing to hide - you have nothing to fear"

wellllll? if congress has nothing to hide - why are they so upset over a LEGAL WARRANT?

the REAL STORY is what is in those documents - who else does it implicate in which scandal? This is what congress fears.

forget about a frog march - if things move quickly on this - the summer will be featuring a frog parade
