Wait a minute, this isnt the same money he diverted the National Guard to his house for, is it?

I think you are onto something. This may be why he was in such a big hurry to have the National Guard get him to his house (and his freezer).

This just keeps getting better.

They were trying to evacuate him, and he diverted them to his house. I seem to remember the freezer was involved..

The one and only.

I think Rush must have referred to him as William Jefferson, Democrat-LA, at least a hundred times while discussing that National Guard story. He seems to like saying that. ;)

This is going to cause Nancy Pelosi have to get another emergency face-lift. This next one should bring her toenails up to her knee-caps.

If they keep going, she'll end up with a toenail necklace.

Whoa Whoa! I appreciate you drawing our attention to the story by using parentheses and adding additional information, but look what the MSM left out? Had this been a Republican, we would have heard about it in the headline.

We have to go to the 2nd paragraph to read about this crook being a Democrat here.

I guess that's par for the course, though.

I posted about this guy being corrupt some weeks back.

Now we here more, but in the eyes of Nancy Pelosi and other Democrats he is innocent until convicted and sent up the river and then he might resign.

The hypocritical two faced double crossing back stabbing Democrats would have convicted this guy if he were a Republican on Fake But Accurate rumors.

The affidavit also spells out "seven other schemes" in which Jefferson was involved; nearly all were blacked out in the document.

Yeah. He had the Guard drive him to his house. Then he made them wait outside a few minutes, then had them come in and cart out a bunch of boxes, IIRC. It wouldn't surprise me if it was the cash.

Clinton had a lot of faults but taking money and bribes was not one of them. He was interested in women not money.

See? "Blacked out". Sheer, unadulterated racism.
