Lobbying on someone's behalf in exchange for lobbying on your behalf is done every single day in Washington. It's hardly as serious as having a deep freeze full of bribery cash.

Harman tried to impede a Justice Department espionage case. That's not your run of the mill lobbying. Why would you be pissed that Democrats are able to go after one of their own when they step over the line? Wouldn't you want that?
The "assault on the more moderate of the party" is utter nonsense. Nearly every Democrat serving in the House, Senate, and yes even in the oval office is a moderate. The Democratic party is a party of moderates.
