William “Freezer Burn” Jefferson — Margolis-Noonan Op-Ed
Matt Margolis & Mark Noonan of Blogs For Bush and co-authors of Caucus Of Corruption have an interesting op-ed piece on TownHall.com about Louisiana Representative William Jefferson and the Democrats’ reaction (or rather inaction) concerning Jefferson.
Here’s a portion:
There is perhaps no better example of the fraudulent nature of the Democrats ethical posturing than that of Rep. William Jefferson, who after more than two years of being the target of a federal investigation was finally indicted on Monday. The 16-count indictment includes charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes, money laundering, obstruction of justice, corruption, and conspiracy. The scandal should have major repercussions for the entire Democratic Party, which largely ignored scandal during the 2006 campaign, then afterwards rewarded and protected Jefferson up to the day he was indicted.
The charges against Jefferson are far worse than any allegations made against Tom DeLay, as well as the crimes committed by Randy “Duke” Cunningham (R-CA) and Bob Ney (R-OH) combined. If convicted on all 16 charges, Jefferson faces over 200 years in prison. During the 2006 campaign, Nancy Pelosi was quick to say that even a hint of GOP scandal was evidence of widespread corruption in the entire Republican Party. However, in the case of Jefferson, not only could Nancy Pelosi not be made to act in the interests of the American people, but she couldn’t even find any words of condemnation for Jefferson.
You can read the rest of the article on Townhall.com if you are so inclined. I stand by my prediction that Jefferson will loudly and boldly proclaim his innocence while the Democrats posture claiming it’s all politically motivated but as the time for the trial creeps closer, expect a plea deal to a lesser charge with Jefferson spending his prison time at “Club Fed” where convicted Congresscritters spend their enforced vacaction.
