[QUOTE][B]Former Assistant U.S. Attorney Julian Murray [/B] agreed.
[B]"This is astounding," [/B] he said. "You can't say it's unprecedented, but [B]it certainly is quite a move. I mean, a man's home and his car -- to get any magistrate or judge to issue a search warrant for a United States congressman, you can pretty much imagine there has to have been alot of probable cause would have gone into that.[/B]"[/QUOTE]
That's because the politicians see themselves as above the law due to their status and the voting public views them as the epitome of virtue and incapable of misdeeds. Because as we all know, a clean background is a prerequisite for politics; with exceptions of course. Seeing that the guy is black on top of everything else the powers that be must have consulted with Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson before moving ahead. :wink:
