I've written before about William Jefferson (D-LA). He's finally been indicted. I'm baffled as to why it took 2 years of investigation to get to this point. I wrote a year ago:
"Jefferson was video-taped last August [2005] accepting a $100,000 bribe, $90,000 of the same money was found in his freezer. They have two people who have pled guity to bribing him. He was subpoenaed then (9 months ago) and ignored it so they got a warrant to get the documents they wanted."
The DailyKos asks Why is Jefferson still in the House?. Republicans hypocritically want him expelled but apparently since it's only an indictment and not a conviction, what's common practice is that the House Ethics Committee begins an investigation. One was announced yesterday. Honestly, they found the bribe money in his freezer almost 2 years ago, shouldn't it have begun then!?!?
Meanwhile, Fox News while covering the indictment shows video tape of the wrong black Congressman.
