What is Congress Hiding?+Breaking News

Methinks Dennis Hastert doth protest too much:

House Speaker Dennis Hastert accused the Justice Department Thursday of trying to intimidate him in retaliation for criticizing the FBI's weekend raid on a congressman's office, escalating a searing battle between the executive and legislative branches of government...

The Illinois Republican, in his interview with a Chicago radio station, was responding to an ABC News report that quoted an unnamed law enforcement source as saying that he was "in the mix" of the Justice Department's investigation into influence peddling by convicted lobbyist Jack Abramoff.
Within minutes of that report late Wednesday, the department issued the first of two denials that it was investigating Hastert.

Congress' past is starting to nip at its heels. Absolute power corrupts absolutely.
