Surprise! Another continuance. Update from today:
"Rep. William Jefferson's federal corruption trial remains on hold after U.S. District Court Judge T. S. Ellis III today canceled a status conference that had been scheduled for Friday. The court is awaiting a U.S. Court of Appeals ruling on an appeal by Jefferson's lawyers to throw out most of the 16 charges against him.
"Ells' [sic] decision likely means a further delay in the congressman's trial, which had been scheduled for Dec. 2."
How can this crap go on while Jefferson's aide admitted to complicity in what Jefferson did, pled guilty, was convicted, and is serving time for everything that this scumbag denies doing while having stashed $90K in cold-cash bribe money in his freezer. Who are the scumbag's low-life lawyers and who is paying them?
Obama will fire the U.S. attorneys, put his people in, and the charges against Jefferson will go away.
On Spitzer, I agree with Garcia’s decision if there were no public funds used.
I’d like to see John Edward’s misappropriation of campaign funds be investigated.
