What ever happened to Rep. William Jefferson?

Question

Do you remember the liberal democrat, that got caught taking a bribe, and then hid the money in the freezer in his office? Did he get thrown out? When is his term up?

Answer 1

I believe he was indicted but the case hasn't gone to trial yet.  I guess innocent until proven guilty.

He's up for reelection this year along with every other Representative in Congress.

Answer 2

He was last seen entering astall with Larry Craig in the Capitol mens room.

Answer 3

he got reelected go figure ,because as you know Dems are  never guilty of anything,it must have been a misunderstanding Ha Ha

Answer 4

Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, announced Tuesday that he will seek re-election to a 10th term even as he faces a Dec. 2 political corruption trial that he called an “overly zealous” prosecution based on “false factual allegations.”

A 16-count federal indictment filed in June 2007 “has not prevented my delivering for our district and our state,” Jefferson said in a statement announcing his candidacy.

“My family and I have sworn a great oath to trust God and to fight on to vindicate ourselves and our good name,” Jefferson said. “This we will do. And, in none of it, will I or they sacrifice our continued strong commitment and effective delivery of the things our people need to recover from the storm and from a bad economy.”

After details of the federal investigation of Jefferson became public after a raid of his congressional office in May 2006, House Democrats stripped him of his position on the powerful House Ways and Means Committee.

He remains without a committee assignment in the 110th Congress, despite his surprisingly easy victory in a December 2006 runoff against state Rep. Karen Carter Peterson, D-New Orleans.

Some political analysts think Jefferson will have a harder time winning re-election this year, given that since his indictment the congressman’s brother and political adviser, Mose Jefferson, and sister Betsy Jefferson, the Orleans Parish 4th District assessor, were indicted on charges they conspired to loot more than $600,000 in taxpayer money from three charities they established to help inner-city youths.

I cannot believe the arrogance! He'll be re-elected, and do it again, and again, and again! This is your typical Liberal mindset, he is in it only for himself and the betterment of his family, and will stomp all over the people to make sure he is a millionaire.

The sad part to me is that if he doesn't get relected, and goes to jail after his term, he will still receive his full retirement benefits... FOR THE REST OF HIS WORTHLESS LIFE!!!!!

I know, innocent until proven guilty, just check out how it is playing out. the indictment won't come down until after, his fellow representatives won't censure him for fear he will drop dime on them, so we will be stuck footing the bill on another lowlife scumbag democrat.
