Perhaps President Bush and Speaker Hastert should listen carefully: Top officials at the Justice Department and the FBI threatened to resign this week if President Bush ordered them to return materials seized in last week’s raid of Rep. William Jefferson’s office, senior administration officials said. The showdown, said to be reaching a “tipping point” by […]

Shouldn’t this case be about William Jefferson (D-La), not Dennis Hastert? Yet, with Hastert’s silly outbursts, he has made it more about himself: Conservatives yesterday expressed confusion and outrage over House Speaker J.
