Do you believe the FBI was wrong in seizing documents from Rep William Jefferson's office last week?

They had a warrant, and had tried for some time to get him to supply the information to them.

The man presented solid evidence supporting what we all know to be true - the corruption of our government. Why is it that we allow this to continue. Why doesn't somebody pull them down to their knees. Has it always been that way. Is that why?\nWe can be that blink to what is happening now and what has happened in the past. This is frightening to think that we have ALL been had.

The Democrat operative Richard Armitage admitted to being the leaker. Nothing is going to happen to him because no crime was committed.\n\nThe Liberal press did very little coverage of it. That is why you didn`t know.\nThat is also why you see all the posts here of uniformed answers about Scooter Libby who was indited for an unrelated issue and had nothing to do with the outing.

I think Republicans will stoop to any level to hold on to power and wealth. In the past year the FBI had 600 agents who worked 2200 public corruption cases. These led to 650 arrests and 1000 indictments with 800 convictions. The FBI now claims "there is more corruption in Washington then ever imaginable". They just added the fourth 20 member agent squad in the Washington office to deal with Corruption in Congress.   Washington now has the largest number of FBI tapped cell phones in the nation.

He was doing it illegally, not using his own money. This and all the money he conveniently forgot to mention in his land deal, plus what else the lib. media is keeping from us is supposed to clean up our congress?yea, their going to clean up alright, right into their bank accounts.

Absolutely, I think he and his superiors should be severely punished for making a poor decision to put such critical information at risk. We are not so naive to think it could not be stolen from his home why did he not take better cation in removing such information from the work place. Secondly, why did we hear of this breach of security on the news 6 weeks before the department of defense sent us letters saying that this had occurred and to use extreme caution with our identity and finances. Why have they not set up a credit watch program for those of us affected. Why do we have to keep checking our credit reports until further notice shouldn't they have to pay for this service and clean up their mess? I got the letter yesterday did you get the letter. Does the media take no blame in this action? Do you think the thief who took the computer really would have payed attention to what was on the hard drive prior to the press sharing with the public what was on the hard drive? I think not he would have cleared the drive and sold it. Maybe we need to consider some liability for the press who compounded the situation. Just my thoughts, take it or leave it.

IT'S FISHY.\n\nBUT THIS IS THE COVERUP ADMINISTRATION.

I've heard the argument that he didn't have enough information to move forward with since even the accusation would ruin Folley's career. He had only been told that Folley was acting in a way that was very concerning, definitely not enough info to accuse ... right ?(*cough looks to left then right*).  My thoughts on the matter is why not simply enact a warrant less domestic wiretapping on him that way no one had to know .... oh wait at the time congress had been bypassed about the whole program in a flagrant abuse of the presidents power. Well I'm sure some type of low profile investigation could have been possible.

We should probably make sure we know the answer to the question of whether it "was illegal" or not. The jury still seems to be out on that one. One camp (the executive branch)holds that Congress's authorization of "any and all necessary force" gave Bush the authority, and another doesn't (the Legislative). Sounds like it's time for the good old Judicial branch to step in and resolve the dispute. Then we can talk about whether or not a censure (different from censor) is appropriate.

Do you have proof Bush has a copy?  \nThat data was used in the same way our phone and internet information was gathered and used.  And, the collection of that data resulted in going over and above the corrupt Mexican law enforcement agencies to capture known really bad guys.\n\nOh and by the way, have you ever checked what information Choicepoint has on you?  I've checked mine and was shocked to find out how much wrong information they've been reporting.

Wire tapping the telephones of American citizens without a court order is illegal.\nThey impeached Clinton for a minor dalliance in which he didn't even get to third base. But taking the Constitution and pushing it through the shredder, why that is just fine and dandy.\nHe really does believe that it is only a piece of paper, and he is the Prince of the Realm who may do as he pleases, isn't he? \nThe answer to Ben Franklin's comment about what sort of government the constitution enshrined--"A republic, if you can keep it"-- has been answered. We've lost it, folks. We've got George III in the White House. And, it is now often forgotten, that George was looney as the day is long, too.

I believe Paul. Though I'm sure that he's not a perfect husband (who is perfect any way?), it strikes me as odd that certain legal documents were "leaked" to the press. In the beginning, he was rushing to defend her and to keep things civil. In my opinion, it just seems as if she wants something in particular and will do anything to get it.

"The right of the people to be secure in their persons, houses, papers, and effects, against unreasonable searches and seizures, shall not be violated, and no Warrants shall issue, but upon probable cause, supported by Oath or affirmation, and particularly describing the place to be searched, and the persons or things to be seized."\n\nSo, according to the Fourth Amendment, no.  Considering Bush, illegality is no surprise.  This administration already detains "enemy combatants" indefinitely, tortures prisoners, uses Stalinist gulags in Eastern Europe, and leaks classified information on our own agents as a means of petty personal revenge.

Every Government has secrets. They have to to keep us safe.  Unless you have a newspaper that digs and digs to find out and puts them on the front page so our enemies can know and change their tactics. And someone in Congress that leaks to the radical left media news papers. No wonder the President hates to tell Congress whats going on. I bet the New York Times will be found out that they are paying for those leaks. How do you have FACTS that we are being lied to? The left wing media and weird websites?
