ALEXANDRIA, VA. -- The lead FBI agent in the investigation of former Rep. William Jefferson denied Wednesday that he had instructed cooperating witness Lori Mody to play on Jefferson's emotions, get him drunk, and lure him into taking a bigger share of her company.
"That's not on her, that's on him, " special agent Timothy Thibault said, explaining that Jefferson continued to escalate his demands for a piece of Mody's business even when he wasn't under the influence of her wiles and wine.
In its redirect, the prosecution played a videotape from the four-hour, $1,023 dinner Mody and Jefferson shared at Galileo, a fancy Italian restaurant in Washington, D.C., on May 12, 2005, to show that it was Jefferson, not Mody, who was questioning the wait staff about the wine choices, and ordering a 1997 vintage.
Thibault was asked by Assistant U.S. Attorney Rebeca Bellows how old he thought Jefferson was at the time of the dinner. Thibault replied that he figured Jefferson to have been in his early 60s.
"Old enough, " said Bellows, to decide whether or not to imbibe. Jefferson is now 62.

The day ended with the jury being shown photos of the $90,000 in marked money the FBI found about a half hour into their search of Jefferson's Washington, D.C., residence on Aug. 3, 2005. The money, in $10,000 stacks of hundred-dollar bills, was wrapped in tinfoil and stuffed into Boca meatless burger and Pillsbury frozen pie crust boxes, and Yes! Organic Market bags.
The bills represented the lion's share of the money that Mody had delivered to Jefferson on July 30, 2005, and which the FBI had expected Jefferson to use to bribe Atiku Abubakar, then vice president of Nigeria.
According to Thibault's testimony, Jefferson was not continuously under surveillance after receiving

Not good enough if this is an ....ahem...Simpson-type jury.
So I guess the dough was stuffed in the Doughboy box.
Cold, hard cash. He’s going down.
I wouldn’t be surprised if he walked.
Wow, remind me to buy that brand of pie crusts.
Hung jury. Watch.
I’ll get them and post them. By the way, did anyone take the time to read anything else? It sounds like Somalia down there, people are getting whacked left and right.
Well we’re movin on up,
To the east side.
To a deluxe apartment in the sky.
Movin on up,
To the east side.
We finally got a piece of the pie.
Fish don’t fry in the kitchen;
Beans don’t burn on the grill.
Took a whole lotta tryin’,
Just to get up that hill.
Now we’re up in the big leagues,
Gettin’ our turn at bat.
As long as we live, it’s you and me baby,
There ain’t nothin wrong with that.

That’s some dough...boy.
Since the NOPD members no longer have to reside in New Orleans they have been moving out in droves. Not a good sign. There are a few living in my neighborhood.
mmmmmmmm.........pie crusts.........
He's got everything in common with our president that got him elected by the pseudo-enlightend who were going to lead us beyond judging people based on skin color by judging based on skin color.
Makes as much sense as every other liberal article of faith.
It wasn't Jefferson's fault, the dough boy did it.
Ben Franklin Pecan Pie.
Can't wait for our buddies at Google to clean the Internet of any disparaging images of their liberal compatriots now, can we?
That is a very bad sign, but who could blame them? I would expect it would be dangerous for their families.
Thank You. I’ll have to figure out how you did it.
I just did screen captures and cropped them...:)
One fairly easy way - use mozilla/flock and grab the photos from your cache - this works for flv movies too...
