Should Speaker Pelosi Do Anything About Rep. William Jefferson?

For those of you who don't know much about Jefferson's problems, here's a brief snippet from wiki:

On 30 July 2005, Jefferson was videotaped by the FBI allegedly receiving $100,000 worth of 100 dollar bills in a leather briefcase at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Arlington, Virginia.<8> Jefferson told an investor, Lori Mody, who was wearing a wire, that he would need to give Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar $500,000 "as a motivating factor" to make sure they obtained contracts for iGate and Mody's company in Nigeria.<9> A few days later, on 3 August 2005, FBI agents raided Jefferson's home in Northeast Washington and, as noted in an 83-page affidavit filed to support a subsequent raid on his Congressional office, "found $90,000 of the cash in the freezer, in $10,000 increments wrapped in aluminum foil and stuffed inside frozen-food containers." Serial numbers found on the currency in the freezer matched serial numbers of funds given by the FBI to their informant.

He is an embarrassment to America.

That's why I posted the poll- I was curious what others think. In any case, it's interesting that the few folks who have responded are in favor of either impeachment or censure.

nothing should be done until and unless he's actually charged with a crime.

That should suffice.

of Committee assignments. should she restore them?

If he is cleared of any wrongdoing, she could restore his assignments. In this environment, even the appearance of impropriety is not acceptable.
