WASHINGTON — Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted Monday on 16 counts related to a long-running bribery investigation on counts including racketeering, obstruction of justice and conspiracy. [snip]
Previously from Drudge.com:
Sources tell CBS NEWS that Congressman William Jefferson (D-LA) will be indicted this afternoon on more than a dozen counts involving public corruption. Jefferson has been the subject of a ongoing probe in which FBI agents allegedly found more than 90-thousand dollars in cash in his freezer. The Justice Department is expected to unveil the charges later today... Developing...
He won’t be asked to resign. But you can be sure that the Dems will pretend they don’t know him.
Yes, but didn’t most of his constituents move to Texas after Katrina? I know the violent crime rate jumped dramatically here in Texas around that same time! Coincidence??
Yeah, that’s him. Klintoon pardoned him, and he was a child molester........
I don't believe it........
We are actually prosecuting a DemonRAT!
Mel Reynolds - indicted for sex with a 15 (16?) yo staffer. Any more corrupt and he’d qualify for police chief of NY under Guiliani (or was that public safety director)

more than an inch thick...
Hey. That’s a pretty good defense. He just fell for the old “I am the special assistant to the Nigerian ambassador” email scam.
The “I’m not crooked, just stupid” defense.
LOL!! Whatever happened to ol’ mell. Did he get off scott free or did he pay a little fine or something?
I sure don't miss that fat idiot.
Harry Reid (D-NEV) should receive equal consideration.
Sparkplug?
866-498-6161 I just made the call.
Be friendly. Please call his office, and in your own words, talk about unfairness and unequal justice. Congressman Jefferson is being indicted but Hillary has gotten away with a $1.6 million illegal donation, and the Justice Department won’t do anything about it. Thanks.
What Wilson Didn’t Say About Africa
Great work, Fedora!
According to this Clinton pardoned him.

How close, other than same clan name, is Abdul Rahman Al-Amoudi to Sheik Mohammed Aboud Al-Amoudi? Are there any mutual business dealings? this is some of what Shermy found already:
* Joseph Wilson IV : Rock Creek Corporation, an investment company controlled by Al Amoudi and chaired since 1997 by a Lebanese businessman very connected into the power circles of Washington, Elias Aburdene. Former adviser of the Franklin Bank National in Washington DC, Aburdene at the start of his accession to the head (position) of Rock Creek Corporation hired the ex - adviser to Bill Clinton for African affairs, Joseph Wilson IV. The latter had already met Mohamed Al Amoudi in 1997 at the time of a reception organized for the World Bank by Westar Group (LAW n.794). --- via Shermy
Several companies controlled by the Saudi-Ethiopic billionaire Mohamed Hussein Al Amoudi helped with the organisation of the voyage: Westar Group, which manages the interests dof Al Amoudi in Washington and which is chaired by Derige Mekonen after being directed a long time by the banker Jeff Wilson; Sheraton of Addis-Abeba whose council of administration includes the ex - American ambassador in Ethiopia Irvin Hicks and group MIDROC Ethiopia; but also the Rock Creek Corporation, an investment company controlled by Al Amoudi and chaired since 1997 by a Lebanese businessman very connected into the power circles of Washington, Elias Aburdene. Former adviser of the Franklin Bank National in Washington DC, Aburdene at the start of his accession to the head (position) of Rock Creek Corporation hired the ex - adviser to Bill Clinton for African affairs, Joseph Wilson IV. The latter had already met Mohamed Al Amoudi in 1997 at the time of a reception organized for the World Bank by Westar Group (LAW n.794). In addition to his responsibilities with the Rock Creek Corporation, Elias Aburdene is the executive chairman very influential National Association of Arab Americans. Alumnus of the School of Foreign Service at Georgetown University, he is also very active in the old networks of the university, where teaches the ex-under-secretary of State for African Affairs Chester A. Crocker and the American mediator between Ethiopia and Eritrea, former National Security Advisor of Bill Clinton Anthony Lake. 100 posted on 06/26/2004 6:42:46 PM PDT by Shermy

"For years, at the expense of the American people, the House Republicans Democrats have enabled and benefited from the Republican Democrats culture of corruption engineered by Tom DeLay myself," said Rep. Nancy Pelosi of California, the Democratic leader. "The culture of corruption is so pervasive in the Republican Democratic conference that a single person stepping down is not nearly enough to clean up the Republican Democratic Congress."
I've got your speech ready Speaker Pelosi. Madam Speaker? Maam? It's waiting. Did you hear me? Hello? Anyone there?..........
Sheesh...it’s about time. As an aside, this guy had the audacity not to step down voluntarily from the House Ways and Means Committee.
Okay, GOOD, but where are the indictments for Sandy Berger!!???
