William Jefferson Gives Congress Freezer Burn

It's high time for Congress to realize their extreme insanity and back off, let the law take its course -- and why aren't they all demanding that Jefferson resign???

[hsalaw]

They'll back off, all right. There was a recent poll saying 85% of those polled said there could be no impropriety in an FBI search pursuant to a valid warrant. And we all know that politicians live and die by the poll. They're going to have to climb back down off that high horse.

Maybe if the FBI raids the homes of more Congressman we could pay off the national debt and reduce the tax burden.

The Jefferson "cold cash" tape went down months ago - did we hear anything about it?

Congress knew about it months ago.

Any ethics hearings?

Were he republican, he would be out on his a*s and in jail by now - along with every republican that had ever spoke to him or was caught in the same photo frame with him.

Could be the source of a lot of cold hard cash

Jefferson is the talk of the New Orleans area- none of it good.
What NO one has brought up yet is how UNlikely it is that this is the first money he has taken. How many other deals has he done in his years as a Congressman? The odds of him being busted on his first money drop are very low, IMO.
Does anyone think this is the first time he's sold his influence, or just the first time he's been caught?

still no word on where the 10,000 went? nose candy? hookers?

The Republicans sure know how to snatch defeat from the jaws of victory. They we handed gold, and rejected it.

[Redcloak]

The Constitution does not protect men like William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana from criminal investigation. In fact, it would not protect William Jefferson Democrat Louisiana from arrest either since this is a felony case.

The river is well known and deep, hopefully there are many branches.

This isn't the "First" time he has taken bribes, I'm pretty sure of that. From that I hear the audio of him is mocking the FBI and he isn't scared at all... If it were his first time I think he would be a little more discrete.

[sully777]

It's settled. I want to be a senator!

Somebody is a dittohead...:)

[F.J. Mitchell]

The attitude of Congress toward the search of William Jefferson's office,indicates that the office of every member of congress should under go a no announced search on a regular basis. While we are at it, they should also be given random piss tests and lie detector tests.

These sonovabitches work for us. We are not their peons, they are our peons!

[coconutt2000]

Apparently to Congress, Jefferson's crime wasn't his felonious acceptance of bribes, but his incompetence in getting caught.

And then some. :-)

We have the best federal government money can buy...

Allegedly it was sent to an African nation in order to get some company an exclusive contract with their government. I haven't heard the nation or company mentioned yet, but my guess would be Liberia...
