William Jefferson To Be Indicted
It's been a long time in coming, but Rep. William J. "Cold Cash" Jefferson (D-LA) is set to be charged in an ongoing corruption case later today, with the dossier of evidence said to be over an inch thick. If convicted, an anonymous source says he could spend up to 200 years in prison.
Background: Nearly two years ago, approximately $90,000 in cash was found stashed in Jefferson's freezer. A former aide, Brett Pfeffer, admitted to soliciting bribes on Jefferson's behalf. Vernon Jackson, a telecommunications executive, 'fessed up to paying up to $1 million in bribes to Jefferson in exchange for help in overseas business deals. Both men agreed to cooperate with officials in exchange for plea bargains. (They were sentenced to eight and seven years in prison, respectively.) Jefferson is also said to have been videotaped taking a $100,000 bribe, the bulk of which was found in his freezer.
In an unrelated incident, Jefferson used National Guardsmen to check on his property and retrieve personal items in the aftermath of Katrina. There's nothing like putting your power to good use...
In spite of the cloud hanging around Jefferson's head, he was re-elected last year. Perhaps the sludgy water of the hurricane's wake had something to do with the state of mind of the voters. Or maybe they like having someone with the taint of corruption as their representative in Congress.
At the time of the raid, House leaders on both sides complained that the feds overstepped their bounds when they raided Jefferson's home, saying it was unconstitutional. That debate continues...and Congress wonders why it has such a low approval rating.
Well, Nancy? Is it time to drain the swamp yet? And will the press give this as much coverage as they did to Randy "Duke" Cunningham?

Jefferson is pond scum. The people that blindly support him are not alot better. The ACLU will claim that he is exempt from search warrants because of his office, but he will find that his ragity butt will end up in the COOLER. No one is exempt from the law. There is some immunity for these elite butt heads, but this type of action on the part of "Cold Cash" Jefferson will result in him spending some time with Paris and the rest.

It is too bad I cannot be in Louisiana with my trusty straight razor.

Posted by: Wilford Shidemantle at February 11, 2013 10:20 PMKeep functioning ,impressive job!
Throughout the awesome design of things you actually receive an A+ with regard to effort and hard work. Where you actually lost me was first in your details. As people say, the devil is in the details... And that couldn't be more correct in this article. Having said that, allow me reveal to you just what did give good results. Your writing is really powerful which is possibly the reason why I am taking an effort to opine. I do not really make it a regular habit of doing that. 2nd, whilst I can certainly see a jumps in reasoning you make, I am not convinced of exactly how you seem to connect your ideas which inturn produce the actual conclusion. For the moment I shall yield to your position however hope in the near future you actually connect the dots better.
Posted by: Elyse Rolack at February 25, 2013 04:10 PMOh my goodness! a great article dude. Thank you Nonetheless I'll be experiencing trouble with ur rss .

Posted by: Assistant Services at February 26, 2013 03:22 AMIts such as you learn my mind! You appear to understand a lot about this, such as you wrote the e-book in it or something. I feel that you simply can do with a few % to pressure the message house a bit, but other than that, this is excellent blog. An excellent read. I'll certainly be back.
