Say It Ain't So Jefferson

Jefferson evidently had no idea how much legal danger he was about to get himself into. How could he have known that when he invited the FBI in for a chat a team of agents was positioned down the block, hidden from sight and ready to swarm his home to conduct a floor-to-ceiling search?

Did he think they were there for tea and crumpets?

"I said, 'Do you have time to speak to a couple of my agents? They want to talk to you,'¤" Bernazzani said. "He said fine .¤.¤. He was very gracious, very accommodating."

Bernazzani had nothing but kind words for the congressman.

"He was a gentleman. He's always a gentleman," the agent said.

With Jefferson's acquiescence, Bernazzani waved two other agents up from the street, introduced them to the congressman and left the Marengo Street house. Jefferson ushered agents Thibault and Daniel Evans into his living room and they all sat down.

We all have the FBI over, early in the morning, just for a chat. How did they ambush Jefferson with these tactics? It is time for William Jefferson to face the inevitable: A PRISON TERM

Congressman Jefferson wants his trial moved

Congressman Jefferson wants his trial moved out of Virginia because he assumes that he won't receive a fair trial. Mr. Jefferson wants to insult the black race by assuming that since he is a black corrupt politician, black people will condone his behavior. It is time we as a people stand united against corrupt politicians, like Congressman Jefferson, and let them know that we will no longer tolerate corrupt politicians in the big easy. Additionally, his legal argument has no merit.

Jefferson's legal team amended its earlier claim that the government orchestrated a sting operation in the heavily white suburbs of northern Virginia to avoid trying an African-American defendant in the majority black city of Washington, D.C.

Race did not play a factor in the government's sting operation because he was the one who accepted the bribe. It is time for him to stand up for once and be a man. Admit to his guilt and accept responsibility for his actions.

Congressman Jefferson In The Spotlight

Maybe Congressman's Jefferson's name would not be so popular right now if he was in Stan "Pampy" Barre's shoes. He could take a break from the spotlight if he had someone else to snitch on like "The Pamp".
