William Jefferson,D,Louisiana in bribery scandal?

Question

http://news.yahoo.com/s/nm/20061008/pl_nm/hurricanes_politics_dc
According to article above, the FBI found $90,000 cash frozen in his freezer. He is under FBI investigation for taking bribe money to promote business deals in Nigeria.
New Orleans' Ray Nagin says:
"Until he's indicted, I think we ought to presume he's innocent until proven guilty."
Isn't this a LITTLE hypocritical considering the rush to condemn a certain Republican embroiled in scandal now himself? HE has already been found guilty.

Answer 1

Of course it is. You can break the law only as long as you are a democrat. If you are a Republican, you are judged more harsh because liberals hate us and they want to get rid of us so they will make noise even though they do the same things just to turn the voters against us, but they will run like cockroaches when we point out their lawlessness and turn it back on them. The only problem is, when we try to point out their sins, the media ignores us so the word does not get out.

Answer 2

yeah they have film of jefferson taking the bribe and taking it to his public office..then they wonder with the people like nagle jefferson and there governor where there money went. wow it takes a genius to figure that out..but the hurricane was the republicans fault too!wasn't it the most corupt city also..the people also got that money down there and there was 2 billion in relief they got illegaly and defrauded the government! false claims etc.. they had a 3 day warning and still didn't get there families out because they wanted to loot the streets like crack heads do!

Answer 3

Diana, why do you tell lies? He has not been charged with anything, nor has he been found guilty. Perhaps you should read the aritcle before you shoot off your mouth. From the article you posted:



The eight-term Democratic congressman has denied any wrongdoing and has not been charged with any crimes. But the FBI is investigating him for allegedly taking bribes to help promote business deals in Nigeria

Answer 4

I don't know, what does The New York Times think ? Hell he's a Democrat so obviously he must be considered innocent no matter what the evidence.

Answer 5

Yes you can bet your bippy on that! Jefferson is still in office with the democrats backing him,how can that be?

Answer 6

The libs motto: Do as we say, not as we do.
