Will probably be pardoned by Obama for half the loot.

Conservative members of Congress should play up the fact that the Democrats under Nancy Pelosi REFUSED to conduct an ethics investigation or even censor Jefferson. Much like the Democrats are blocking other investigations into Franks, Murtha and Dodd.

Thank you for reminding us about how that dirtbag Hastert tried to defend Jefferson.
I’m sure Hastert was just worried what they were going to find on him.

He’ll be back, just like Marion Barry. And Alcee Hastings.

Since Jefferson is a Democrat and Black!, he will be given a 3 Month Suspended sentence, a Presidential Pardon Immediately, and a Congressional Medal of Honor for being a supremely Patriotic Demorat Congresscritter. He may get his Own Monument on The D.C. Mall for being so Bold and a Great Role Model for all ACORN COMMUNITY ORGANIZERS!
Seriosly, this is Great News! and surprizing since woulda bet the Family Ranch that the FIX was in for Jefferson annd that he was going to walk out Free as a Bird just like William Ayers, the Unrepentent Murdering Terrorist and The Premier Political Mentor and Creator of OBOZO!
