A big AMEN. Why has this taken so long?

Fact is…he is just another democrat, a very typical democrat.

I do like “Cold Cash” better.

How long before the “racism” charge is leveled?

5…4…3…

Here’s an idea for Sharpton/Jackson: That 90 grand in the freezer was actually going to be being delivered by Jefferson to Katrina victims. Because George Bush hates black people.

So that’s one crooked dem indicted in the past six years. How’s about a few more, like Reid, & DiFi?
What about those Democratic Senators joined at the hip to Jack “Toht” Abramoff?

5…4…3…

…securing business deals in Nigeria and other African nations.

So, someone DID manage to get those frozen assets out of Nigeria.

Hmm…and here we were all thinking that it was a phishing scam.

U.S. Rep. William Jefferson has been charged with soliciting bribes and obstructing justice in a corruption scam spanning at least two continents, Justice Department officials said Monday.

CNN

CNN, in it’s summary of the indictment, fails to mention his party affiliation. MSNBC has the story buried on their web site. CBS, Fox and ABC actually identify him as a Dem in their summaries or headlines and they have it front and center. This is progress (at least in cyberspace) in that 3 of the 5 networks feel they have to honestly report this story. I’m not holding my breath for months-long stories (like the ones against Tom Delay). But it’s a start.

Hopefully he will get the punishment he deserves if he’s found guilty.

It only took the Bush Justice Department 2 years to get the goods on this guy, but it’s pretty obvious he took the bribe because after Katrina, he talked the National Guard into taking him to his house where he pulled the Cash from his home freez…

I’ll bet a year from now he’ll still be in Congress…

Pppffffttt! Congress? Knowing the Dhimmicrats, he’ll probably be their Presidential nominee by then. Maybe we should offer him the title of “Supreme Dictator of Iraq” first (before the DNC beats us to it).

This is a more detailed version of a column that was published in The New York Post on May 24, 2007.

Since he left office in 2001, former president Bill Clinton has been paid by InfoUSA, an Omaha, Nebraska company that has been identified as a key provider of specially designed databases that are sold to criminals who use the detailed information to defraud the unsuspecting elderly.

Because Senate financial disclosure rules do not require Hillary Clinton to reveal exactly how much — or for what — the company has paid her husband over the past five years, we don’t know all the details. But we do know this: former presidents – especially Bill Clinton – don’t come cheap. And, just months after he left the presidency, Bill Clinton was paid $200,000 for a speech given to InfoUSA in Omaha. Since then, he has been paid an undisclosed amount each year, listed only as “more than $1000” for ‘non-employee compensation” on Senator Clinton’s Senate financial disclosure form.

According to the The New York Times, InfoUSA compiled and sold lists that disclosed the names of elderly men and women who would be likely to respond to unscrupulous scams. The lists left no doubt about the vulnerability of the elderly targets. The Times reported, for example, that InfoUSA advertised lists of “Elderly Opportunity Seekers,” 3.3 million older people “looking for ways to make money,” and “Suffering Seniors,” 4.7 million people with cancer or Alzheimer’s disease. “Oldies but Goodies” contained 500,000 gamblers over 55 years old, for 8.5 cents apiece. One list said: “These people are gullible. They want to believe that their luck can change.”

InfoUSA sold lists to companies that were under investigation or closed down by courts because of their criminal activity. The company’s internal emails show that employees were aware that the investigation for elderly fraud involved their customers, but sold the lists anyway.

The Times profiled one unfortunate 92 year old man who entered a sweepstake sponsored by InfoUSA. The information that he innocently provided was then sold to the predator marketers. After responding to their telemarketing calls seeking financial information, his entire life savings was stolen from his bank account at Wachovia Bank. These practices, using lists supplied by InfoUSA were repeated all over the country.
