Typical DEMOCRAT Politician. He just got caught.

I hope he rots in jail but won't be surprised if a left wing nut judge lets him off after Obama promises a nice spot later...

You can bet the Obama admin will be tipping off more of their own when they learn of investigations.

It is a great day when public officials are brought to justice for corruption. Lets just hope that Bush, Cheney and Rove will be the next ones who's crimes will be in front of a grand jury. Jefferson is a disgrace and I am glad that he was kicked out of Office.

Breaking the law for politicians is easy as long as they share the booty with higher ups. If they want it all for themselves they are asking for a bigger reward but a bigger risk of getting caught. Nobody was watching the back of Jefferson, he wanted it all for himself.

I'm suprised Obama didn't fight this case and put Jefferson in charge of something major. Obama has to like the chutzpah.

What a wonderful post!
Honestly, is there any gov't official who wants to serve because he/she/it is genuinely concerned for our Nation and it's peoples????
Is there anybody out there???
Or do they get kicked aside by the powers in play when they go to office.

Kwame STILL has not paid the City of Detroit back (fine). City Council racked with scandals (fraud/bribery). Detroit Public School System taken over by a "Czar" {Oh, Lord why the heck do we use that word???} of The State of Michigan, because it's broke. Gee, maybe the school official just caught embezzeling over $300,000 from School Fundraiser funds might be the tip of the iceberg.?!

How can that person sleep at night knowing he took money that kids did carwashes, door-to-door, dances, etc. to raise money to buy band uniforms, playground equipment, paper, art supplies, friggin toilet paper (yep, they ran out last year), etc. How can people live with themselves???
I just don't understand.

Everyone in the United States Congress is a bribe-taking thief, by singling out a black thief, that's racist.

Yeah, they singled him out because he's black.
That's the ticket,,,,NOT!
He was the tip of the iceberg.
If he's smart, he'll start singing like a canary and give up the big dogs.

Daily Horoscope for June 4

Aries

Take care today Aries, because the emotional landscape in your neighborhood will be full of pitfalls during the coming fortnight, as it has been since the Solar Eclipse on May 20. The more convinced you are that you're right, the harder it will be to navigate your way around forthcoming events. If you feel resentful of someone, perhaps a neighbor or sibling, you need to get your feelings out in the open, rather than burying them deeper, where they'll fester and lead to more problems in the long run.
