"Cleaning-up" Washington

But since the voters sent him, and since he hasn't been convicted of anything, it's not clear what else can be done with him.

Could Pelosi have done something else? Maybe -- the story doesn't try to explain why Jefferson is getting this seat.
The voters returned him to office, and I think everyone has to be put somewhere -- it's not like they put him in a position where he handles cash (or budgeting, or appropriations). What committees would you put him on, Slave?
