Jefferson is the first U.S. official ever charged under the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act of 1977, which prohibits corporate bribery.
Oh yeah, this is the person that Speaker Pelosi wanted on the Homeland Security Committee last February.
Surely he's being persecuted unfairly right? I mean, don't you routinely keep $90k in cash in your freezer?

Well, Representative "Cold Cash" William Jefferson is not exactly what House Leader Nancy had in mind (I hope!). Of course his defense will be "The ***** set me up!"

There is bad and good in each party, this congress has only been in office for a short time it took more than six months for the old congress to mess things up as bad as they are now, so relax, sit back and watch the change.

Just as crooked as the republicans, and if they pass this amnesty bill I hope and pray they will all be voted out. I know I'll do my part.
