Muscleboy,
Your statement here illustrates my point:
I said right off that Stevens should go, try and deny that.
Jefferson was caught on tape and with 90k in cash in his freezer. 2 Years ago!!!!! Why is he still a congressman??
Republican leadership themselves will force Ted Sevens out very quickly. Your pathetic party doesn' have the stones to force out Jefferson. In fact if he ends up serving time, your idiot voters will re-elect him (prime example is former Mayor Barry in DC)!! Credit to her, Pelosi tried at first to get him to resign but he wouldn't. Maybe she was afraid of him playing back the race victim card.
2 YEARS and running, fraud in Lousianna surprise anyone?? But Katrina was all Bush's fault LOL.

William Jefferson's brother, sister and niece indicted
The brother, sister and niece of indicted Rep. William Jefferson (D-La.) were indicted themselves today for allegedly skimming hundreds of thousands of dollars from nonprofit groups they controlled, according to The Associated Press.
"U.S. Attorney Jim Letten said the family members used several nonprofit and for-profit companies to obtain grants designed to help pregnant teens, at-risk youths and others in need of assistance. They allegedly deposited some of the grant money into personal checking accounts and used it for personal expenses," AP reported.
"A federal grand jury indicted New Orleans tax assessor Betty Jefferson, her brother, Mose Jefferson, and her daughter, Angela Coleman, on charges that include federal program fraud, identity theft and conspiracy to commit money laundering." Betty and Mose Jefferson potentially face hundreds of years in prison under the 30-count indictment.
UPDATE: The New Orleans Times-Picayune broke the story of the new Jefferson family indictments earlier today. The paper had originally reported on the activities at the Jefferson-family-controlled nonprofits back in 2006.
Mose Jefferson was also indicted in April for allegedly bribing a former New Orleans school official, who in turn steered more than $7 million in contracts to a firm he owned. He has denied the charges in that case and has pleaded not guilty.
Rep. Jefferson has been indicted on a host of federal corruption charges, including bribery and violation of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act. Jefferson is waging a multifront legal battle with the Justice Department, and the case has yet to come to trial.
Documents released by DOJ in Rep. Jefferson's case claim that the veteran Democratic lawmaker involved multiple family members in his alleged criminal scheme, which was said to include proposed bribes to a Nigerian official in return for a potentially lucrative telecom contract for a firm secretly controlled by the congressman. Despite video of Jefferson reportedly accepting $100,000 in payments from an FBI informant, and an FBI raid on his house which yielded $90,000 hidden in the freezer, Jefferson has insisted he is innocent.
You want to bring Bush somehow into this debate but that is irrelevent, just your typical dodgeball. Can you admit that Jefferson and his family are crooks???? I admit Stevens is a crook and should go, come on Bro, Man up.
