US Congressman William Jefferson's lawyers are not surprised with the ruling of whether a raid on the Congressman's office in May was legal or not. First clue: the judge that gave the ruling was the same one who signed the warrant which authorized the search! In giving his "legal" ruling, Chief US District Judge Thomas Hogan reiterated that members of Congress are not above the law. The was nothing in the reports about possible conflicts of interests by judges. Not suprisingly, Jefferson's lawyers are planning to appeal the ruling - and to request a stay on examination of the material seized by the FBI as part of a bribery investigation against Jefferson (who denies wrongdoing).
