P.G. County Executive Jack Johnson, Wife Arrested in FBI Sting (80K cash stuffed in her bra)
The Washington Times ^ | Friday, November 12, 2010 | Jim McElhatton

Prince George's County Executive Jack Johnson, arrested in a corruption probe Friday, told his wife to hide tens of thousands of dollars in her underwear as federal agents arrived at his house to search for illegal payoffs from a developer, federal prosecutors have charged.

Caught in an FBI sting taking a $15,000 payment from an unnamed developer Friday, Mr. Johnson later told his wife by telephone not to answer the door when two FBI agents came to their home, authorities said.

The county executive, a Democrat who was previously the county's top prosecutor, then told his wife, Leslie Johnson, to tear up a $100,000 check from the developer and stash tens of thousands of dollars in cash in her bra, authorities said in charging documents.

"Tear it up! That is the only thing you have to do," Mr. Johnson told his wife, referring to the check, according to prosecutors.

Asked by his wife about "cash down in the basement," the documents say Mr. Johnson replied, "Put it in your bra and walk out or something, I don't know what to do."

Later, Mr. Johnson told his wife to flush the check down the toilet, according to documents.

"Yes, flush that," he said.

FBI agents, in a search of Mrs. Johnson, recovered $79,600 in cash from her underwear, officials said.

Holy Crap as Frank Barone would say! The guy’s BLACK! Jumpin’ Jehosphats! Holy Mackeral! I can’t believe a BLACK commie leftist POS would EVER do anything illegal. Next you’ll be trying to convince me that he used quotas to get through college and used charges of racism to subdue white opposition candidates during elections! Unbelievable!!!

I had the misfortune of living in PG County. It’s a hotbed of over-the-top DemocRAT corruption. Everyone’s on the take, and it’s not a good place to be at 11:00 at night. Sits right on the border with Washington, DC.

Let's not rush to judgement here. There could be a perfectly innocent reason for this.
