More: Jefferson Raid: Hastert's Going To Do Something...

Check out this last paragraph:

"Once I have more information about this raid made available to me, I have had an opportunity to carefully consider the long-term ramifications for the Legislative Branch of this action, and I have consulted with the appropriate bipartisan leaders of the House, I expect to seek a means to restore the delicate balance of power among the branches of government that the Founders intended."

Could it be that the WH or RNC orchestrated this sting operation as a way to show that there are also some "corrupt" Dems?

Hey, a crook's a crook, republican (usually) or democrat. Hastert's nervous statement suggest that there are lots of other miscreants in congress, mot of them Delay's loyal--and increasingly uneasy--supporters
