Looks like the Executive Branch (Justice dept.) has once again played fast and loose with the law.

On June 4, 2007 Jefferson was indicted on 16 counts in a 94-page indictment that included charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes, wire fraud, money laundering, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
The cash in his home was just one piece of evidence --- the raid happened on May 20th, after several of his aides pleaded guilty.
And the raid itself was legal -- what was invalid was some of the seizures of documents.

Being from Oregon, The state that Mr Wu represents, he would desire to at this factor basically resign his place of work. His habit interior the final twelve months or so is at appropriate questionable. there is plenty that desires to be completed he's a distraction at this factor & desires to bow out. Oh by ability of ways i'm a sort of "Libs" who voted for him.

The man had $90K or something like that in his freezer in his office. Do you think that was just so he had ready cash to tip the pizza delivery guy when his staff worked late?

oh heck no, I mean, doesn't EVERYONE store over $90k in their freezer at home (cold cash, get it?)?
And btw, the only thing being disallowed in the search are papers pertaining to congressional issues. Everything else is still in open season.
He's going down.

So, $90K, undeclared as income or assets, is found in his possession during a warranted search pursuant to a bribery investigation, and you say it's a "witch hunt"?
Whatever.

Good luck selling that to the American public LOL.
