It's About Time

Sometimes, the wheel of justice spin slowly:

An indictment charging Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., in a long-running bribery investigation is being announced today, federal officials said.

The indictment is being handed up in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. A news conference was being organized for late today in Washington to discuss the case.

A Justice Department official familiar with the case said the indictment outlining the evidence against Jefferson is more than an inch thick and charges the congressman with crimes that could keep him in prison for up to 200 years. The official spoke on condition of anonymity because he was not authorized to discuss the case.

Almost two years ago, in August 2005, investigators raided Jefferson's home in Louisiana and found $90,000 in cash stuffed into a box in his freezer.

I assume that there will be another rush to judgment by the media and Democratic operatives about Congressman Jefferson's corruption and guilt...
