This could explain Speaker Hastert's new found friend in Rep. Jefferson

From the American Progress Report Action Fund:

ETHICS -- HASTERT UNDER INVESTIGATION: Last night, ABC News reported, "The Speaker of the House of Representatives, Dennis Hastert, is under investigation by the FBI, which is seeking to determine his role in an ongoing public corruption probe into members of Congress." The Department of Justice denied the report, but ABC said it was sticking by its story.

Of course, that still doesn't explain why Rep. Pelosi isn't taking a harder line with Rep. Jefferson.
