If Taking Gifts from Someone being Prosecuted is Wrong,
Then Swallow Impeachment Proceedings are a Must

   John Swallow, on KSL's 10:00 news, says he is not a criminal. I do not know the law, to know whether taking a gift from someone you are prosecuting is illegal. It certainly ought to be. But, if per chance it is not, it is still very, very wrong. I'm assuming our values as a society are not so jaded that we cannot see this. 
   But, I'm beginning to wonder.
   If the legislators can see what Swallow allegedly did is wrong, then they have a responsibility of their own, regardless what the feds or anyone else does. If the power to impeach is theirs, this serious breach of ethics demands impeachment proceedings. Such proceedings are a must, to those who see that going to the resort at Marc Jenson's expense was a very wrong thing to do. If you don't think it was a serious wrong, don't start impeachment proceedings. I wonder, do the legislators not consider what was done to be a serious matter?  For, if the legislators can see how serious it is, then they must realize that to not hold impeachment proceedings is a breach of their responsibility.
