U.S. citizens have the American right to know whether any U.S. lawmaker ever accepted or tolerated a bribe from Countrywide for any public official, or broke the law in any other way from January 1996 to June 2008. By "any," we mean "every." By we, we mean the American people. The Justice Department should not head the investigation, as it seems the evidence that continues to pile up continues to present stronger cases against the DOJ's credibility, ethics, and patriotism. As said in the latest release by Darrell Issa, 18 U.S.C. § 201(b) states: "'Whoever directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official.. with intent to influence an official act' shall be fined, imprisoned, or both.'"
