Private business consultant????
ROFLMAO!!!!
He was a CONGRESSMAN from NOLA!
Where is his business license? Where are his TAX RETURNS showing income from his “business”?????
The putzes are pathetic!
Wait!! Don’t tell me, let me guess.........jeffersons attorneys..AKA scumbags, are ALL black. Did I guess right??!!
All business consultants keep their cash in the freezer!!
A “PRIVATE BUSINESS CONSULTANT!!” Now THAT I like. Problem is, he didn’t keep it quite PRIVATE enough, having the national guard drive him to his house during the flood/hurricane so he could make sure his cash was safe!!!
Probably not. Would you hire an AA incompetent to defend you?
I worry about the jury though.
Hey, he joins a long list of private business consultants...Al Capone, John Dillinger, Slick Willie Clinton, Rosty Rostenkowsky. ALL private business consultants. These people are NOTHING if not arrogant and contemptuous of the intelligence of the American public.
