Jeebus, it doesn't get much more obvious than this. Jack Cafferty nailed it when he said that once again there is a double standard for CongressCriminals in everything from healthcare to parking spaces, and now how their "privacy" is treated. So, the fucking FBI goes and takes some documents with warrants before evidence can be destroyed. And the congressional buttheads whine. Hey, shitheads, you just handed police-state powers to an mentally defective juvenile who sits in the people's house over the last 5.5 years. Good Morning, how do you like the police state so far?

In a rare bipartisan action, House Speaker J. Dennis Hastert and Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi demanded yesterday that the Justice Department immediately return documents that were seized when federal agents raided the office of Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) as part of a bribery probe.

Noting that "no person is above the law, neither the one being investigated nor those conducting the investigation," Hastert (R-Ill.) and Pelosi (D-Calif.) asserted that the Justice Department must cease reviewing the documents and ensure that their contents are not divulged. Once the papers are returned, "Congressman Jefferson can and should fully cooperate with the Justice Department's efforts, consistent with his constitutional rights," the statement said.

Hey, Denny and Nancy: Fuck You. Together.
