Washington, DC (TLS). House Democrats are dragging their feet, as expected, in investigating the corruption of Rep. William Jefferson, D-Louisiana, who has been charged with multiple counts of money laundering, bribery, and racketeering.
Jefferson is the Congressman who was caught with $90,000 in cash hidden in his freezer in his residence.
In spite of the dark cloud of corruption hanging over the head of Jefferson, Congress has not investigated him, and his home district of New Orleans re-elected him to office.
In spite of the federal indictments on several felony charges, the Democrat-controlled Congress is still in no hurry to investigate Jefferson. Apparently Pelosi is concerned about corruption only when it comes to Republicans.
And apparently committing felonies is fine as long as you have the 'Big D' beside your name.
