Did anyone else see this little tidbit of interesting news about the United States Federal Appeals Court ruling against the FBI and in favor of Representative William Jefferson.
The ruling is that the FBI violated the Constitution when agents raided U.S. Rep. William Jefferson’s office last year and viewed legislative documents, a federal appeals court ruled Friday.
Even though the ruling is against the seizure of documents from his office the Justice Department asserts that it did not use those documents in preparing their case against Representative Jefferson on bribery charges.
It would seem that Representative Jefferson is one of our more "ethically" challenged United States Congressmen, after the FBI seized some $90,000 in cash from his home freezer. Talk about Cold Hard Cash!!
The Congressman is accused of taking bribes in regard to businesses he was hooking up with African contacts, through his Congressional office. It should be an interesting case as it makes it way through the courts. Meanwhile, he was re-elected and is still in Congress.
