Jefferson, bribes and Videotapes

OK. They have this idiot on video, accepting a $100,000 bribe and as the news puts it:

FBI agents searched Jefferson's office in pursuit of evidence in a
bribery investigation. The search warrant, signed by U.S. District Court Judge
Thomas Hogan, was based on an affidavit that said agents found $90,000 in cash
wrapped and stashed in the freezer of Jefferson's home.
The developments are the beginning of what lawmakers predict will be a long
dispute over the FBI's search of Jefferson's office last weekend. Historians say
it was the first raid of a representative's quarters in Congress' 219
years.

Let's hope it becomes a new trend. As far as I'm concerned, this is simple. Video taped offense, possession of the bribe money. 15 minute trial. No appeal. Stripped of office, law license, jail for minimum of 5 years, no parole.
