Jefferson indicted in bribery probe

WASHINGTON (AP) — Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., was indicted Monday on federal charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering in a long-running bribery investigation into business deals he tried to broker in Africa.

The indictment handed up in federal court in Alexandria., Va., Monday lists 16 alleged violations of federal law with prison terms totaling as much as 235 years. He is charged with racketeering, soliciting bribes, wire fraud, money-laundering, obstruction of justice, conspiracy and violations of the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.
Jefferson is accused of soliciting bribes for himself and his family, and also for bribing a Nigerian official.
"The public deserves, and is entitled to expect, that government officials are free from corruption," Assistant Attorney General Alice Fisher said.
Almost two years ago, in August 2005, investigators raided Jefferson's home in Louisiana and found $90,000 in cash stuffed in a box in his freezer.

This is why america needs me. I'm fully capable of distracting everyone with pointless wars (I'm thinking it's time for a little canadian @sskicking) and moral scandals (the gays, people, ohhhhh, scary gays, they're coming for your children) while at the same time appeasing the corporate interests that run this country with 28% less paper work for them to fill out.
