Jefferson and Corruption in Government

I am a Democrat that believes in the facts. William Jefferson should be put on trial and if convicted go to prison. The same for Scooter Libby. Regular working Americans convicted of obstructing justice and perjury would go to jail in short order with no fanfare from the press or any chance of a pardon.

It is time that both Democrats and Republicans accept the facts and forget about spinning them to benefit the party or its members.

Spot on!  Yes, you deserve a presumption of innocence in the eyes of the law, but if you commit a crime, you should pay the consequences.
