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...
You don't recall correctly.
Wow!! 200 years??!!
He better not walk scott free!
I have no delusion that the masses matter to these bums. Agree, both sides are the same and do not work for the people. I feel I am in a Catch 22 position. Sadder is; how do we turn it around because the closer these career bums get to Washington those in power go to work on them or they learn fast what they have to do to stay.
Maybe after he’s convicted...but then again...
Not far from me. It was landing at nearby Cable Airport.
Was Hillary out to get me???
I bet he resigns and Blanco appoints OJ or someone similar.
The Democrats will have a profitable plan in play; they knew this was coming and they know they can’t back down.
Bet a Sam Adams on this?
Ahhh! Nancy Pelosi’s House has now become the “Culture of Corruption”?
I remember him commandeering some national guard tanks or something during Katrina to go back to his house (endangering their lives, taking them away from rescuing those in true need, etc)—whatever came of that?
Forgive me if someone has already posted about this—don’t have a lot of time to catch up on reading today! TIA!
Yeah, framed just like Murtha was in Abscam, and Reid in that Nevada land deal, and...well, the list just goes on and on, doesn’t it?
Culture of corruption, my foot! >:-(
"Prisoners are given one hot meal a day - a bowl of steam."
My thought exactly.
You may be right. The Dems have had a very long time to plan for this. On the other hand, Cold Cash Jefferson is an arrogant pile of jackalope fudge, so I say he won’t resign. Bad for the party and all.
You’re on. One Sam Adams.
Well at least they have an honest, decent governor to appoint a replacement.
LOL.... Sandy Burglar does look like the ‘Rat he is. Priceless post and pics. Funny on.
Really? Do you have a link to your information? Here are some links to back-up my recollection:
Louisiana's Jefferson maintains innocence in bribery probe (CNN)William J. Jefferson (Wikipedia)
FBI Says Jefferson Was Filmed Taking Cash (The Washington Post)
Not much. What is the "over/under" on which page of the NYT this will be buried? My guess is A34.
Correct-a-mundo.
It also in a way, explains why just about every African country is working on upping themselves from catastrophic ghetto class to third world status.
Yet, Jessie and Al and the Congressional Black CauCau still defend this common criminal as someone for young blacks to look up to as a role model>
Go figure why blacks continue to shoot themselves in the foot.
Just the lowly opinion of a Red state wannabe.
Yes it took a long time to indict him ... it takes a while to defrost $90K in cash
They’ll send him to rehab and he’ll use it for street cred. Yo yo, the dems always keepin’ it real!
