Today, Democratic Rep. William Jefferson lost re-election for his congregational seat. If memory serves me correct, the FBI found $90,000 in cold hard cash in his freezer. This was reported as "alleged bribery money". His trial was delayed and he has been acting like he did nothing wrong while running for re-election.
It is very interested that Speaker Pelosi allowed him to maintain his position on the Homeland Security Committee while waiting for his trial. It must have been Jefferson's ability to handle large sums of cash that Pelosi believed quantified him to keep that committee position.
It is also curious that it has been 2 1/2 years since FBI found the cash in Rep Jeffersons Freezer and he hasn't gone to trial yet.
Will he go to trial faster now that he has lost his election?
