Geez, is there a republican who's not corrupt?

Caught the "investigative" report on Hastert and it just reminded me why I NEVER watch ABC news. No substantiation of the crimes he is to have committed just a bunch of hyped up accusations made by un-named federal officials. OK, lesson learned...back to Fox!

Republican...Democrat...it makes NO difference...these corrupt, self-serving idiots have been doing this for YEARS! And WE allow them to do it! Shame on us!
Being elected to public office is akin to being given a license to steal...

I hope Nancy Pelosi is happy that she affiliated herself with Hastert today with their joint statement. Guilt by association?

UNbelievable! No wonder he wants the FBI to return the documents they took from Jefferson's office because he knows they'll be after his soon!

Brian, I absolutely praise you for continuing to report knowing that they are watching, listening and monitoring you.

Don't worry: the American people who are actively demanding that our congressional members WAKE UP and begin some oversight procedures! What is wrong Brian? They'll be rounding us up and putting us in the detention centers that KRB is building for Haliburton!

Please keep digging Brian, and don't worry. We've got your back, and they can't stop us.

Now we know that more than one member of congress is hiding his crimianal activity in the offices of the halls of congress. They have now declared "we are above the law". Enough said.

"My opinion is that they took the wrong path, Hastert said of the FBI. "They need to back up, and we need to go from there."

What's this supposed to mean? Since when does congress tell the FBI who or what to investigate?

Why am I not surprised...they're eating their own now, so predictable-just throw a net over all of them!

It's about time.
I doubt that I am alone in being sick to death of all of the corruption that seems to be the only thing that the Congress has been up to these last five years.
This is not the first claim of Hastert accepting bribes, either.
So much for values.
Just drop the s, it's all these morally vapid public officials care about.

Is he a crook or is he being punished for disloyalty to King George? Why either or? He could be both. So, I don't know whether to happy or sad over this. I'm so confused.

My! My! My! Aren't we all surprised? Another upstanding Republican in the Congress in a NO NO scandal. And he has the audacity to complain about the execution of a Search Warrant by the FBI. Another fine representative of the people who believes he's above the law. Sounds to me like its time for the Republicans to clean house!

Hastert "In the Mix"? Well now we know why he suddenly became a constitution loving patriot.

It's about time something is being done about politicians who think they are above the law. I don't care what party afilliation they have they should be brought to justice and pay the penalty regardless.

Politicians need to remember what they were elected for and to remember that.

It starts with Bush and goes and goes and goes. Why doesn't the stupid media get it? Why do you think Hastert is going crazy because Jefferson's office was raided-maybe, he's next?

Regardless the party, our "representatives" in Congress are all for sale. They do not think of the people, they think only about whatever fills their coffers. As for me, I intend to vote against ALL incumbents this and future elections. Term limits won't get voted on favorably in DC, therefore, we need to impose our own.

Democrats, Republicans, I don't care. If we have corruption in highest offices of America...flush them out!!!

What is it Hastert & Pelosi are trying to hide from the legal citizens of America??? - They are so afraid of being exposed in corruption by JEFFERSON DOCUMENTS --- Amnesty for illegals - DNC/GOP let our elected officials show their true colors - who is for/against illegals - then go face the voters in the fall, DNC - vote on both sides of the immigration issue - GOP are weak-kneed

Your story of allegations against Hastert is weak.

Why am I not Surprised?

How dare these elected representatives in Washington both Democrat and Republican cry out that the recent FBI search of Representative William Jefferson’s office in conjunction with a criminal investigation was an “outrage”. This is an office bought and paid for by the American taxpayer and is not some sort of privileged sanctuary free from the moral, ethical and legal constraints imposed on society. By what stretch of the imagination can these elitists assert that proof of criminal activity secreted in a congressional office is somehow protected from discovery by the United States Constitution. A legal warrant issued by a federal judge to the FBI to conduct this search does not violate the separation of powers. Rather it is an affirmation of what so many in Congress have been demanding the President and the NSA do when trying to protect us from terrorists. So many of these people have been in Congress for so long that they truly believe they are above the law and not subject to the same restrictions as mere unelected American citizens. The arrogance of our so called representatives is appalling. They need to be reminded that election to office is not a license to flaunt the law. This is one more compelling reason in a long list for the establishment of term limits for Congress.
