Bush made a move to quell the "Constitutional Crisis" today by ordering the subpoenaed evidence the FBI removed from Jefferson's office locked in the Solicitor General's safe for 45 days.(ed- by the way--dig that sneaky picture AP used for this story posted to the left for reference. Since a caption was not included it was evidently a stock photo chosen for the impact and not related to this story. Matter of fact, a caption contest would surely include something about deals and devils. It's done here all the time, but hey--this is a darn blog.)
Some folks on the right aren't happy with this move. As for me, unless something else is uncovered I think it's a good thing. The cooling off period will wipe the crisis off the front page and hopefully put Jefferson back on it where he belongs. He won't be able to whine about GOP racism, and the MSM has lost a huge diversionary story and is now forced to go back and report on the scandal. Sure, this order could certainly protect republican congresspeoples under investigation, but that's a topic to be left for the lefty blogs and MSM.
Cooling off periods. Cooling off periods. Say, whatever happened to the Ports Deal cooling off period?
CAKE, ANYONE? 5/25
MacRanger has a fascinating if not unbelievable post tying this whole mess to Africa and a rather well known ex CIA operative and her husband. Keep your mind open and take a look.

Gateway Pundit makes the point, and quite nicely.
