Affidavit: $90,000 found in congressman's freezer


Federal agents searched the Capitol Hill office of a Louisiana congressman under investigation on bribery charges Sunday, while newly released court papers said agents found $90,000 in cash last year in his Washington home.

In a 95-page affidavit used to obtain a warrant for the office search, investigators stated that an August 2005 search of Democratic Rep. William Jefferson's home turned up the cash sum in a freezer.

The money was divided among various frozen food containers, according to the heavily redacted affidavit. (Watch what Jefferson said about the 'hell' of being investigated -- 4:47)

Agents told a judge the money was part of a $100,000 payment that had been delivered by an informant in the bribery probe, which already has led to guilty pleas by a Kentucky businessman and a former Jefferson aide.

1. Stay Tuned...

...I imagine Mr. Jefferson and his "cold cash" will be indicted soon. Justin & Paul at Muckraker.com have been on-top of all that's going on here. IRC, one of his assistants was just convicted, so it's not gonna be too long until Jefferson gets his due.

2. He was used in a story at the Wall Street Journal

To give the illusion that Democrats are just as corrupt as Republicans (although a bit further in they admitted that most scandals had been on the Republican side of the fence).

3. The Repukes will drag him out (with the help of the media)

when they want to smear Democrats. It's like the above poster said, to make it seem like we're as corrupt as they are.
