Mr. Jefferson & Mr. Frist

William Jefferson, Jr, you got cold busted. Resign.

But Mr. Frist, what's your beef here? Does it bother you that the FBI taped Mr. Jefferson's activities? They had an informant, and Mr. Jefferson was under investigation. If they had probable cause, why get upset about a raid on his office? Sure, we don't want the Executive Branch intimidating Congress Critters and all - yada yada yada. Like THAT doesn't happen every hour of every day. But using surveillance equipment to gather evidence for an investigation that leads to probable cause for a warrant? You're upset about THAT but you're OK with collecting phone records of millions upon millions of Americans who are NOT under investigation for doing anything to subvert the United States of America? How do you look at yourself in the mirror? What is it about this Jefferson case that has you nervous, Bill?
