There must be more to the William Jefferson story than we have learned so far. As I recall there have already been two people who admitted bribing Jefferson several months ago, and it has been reported that the FBI has a video of Jefferson receiving a $100,000 payment, ostensibly a bribe, though no doubt Jefferson has some implausible innocent explanation for the payment. The FBI has obviously moved slowly, leading to the supposition that they are after something larger than a crooked congressman; after all, there are a lot of them. From the reaction of Congress to the FBI raid on Jefferson's office, they must also think something else is afoot. Jefferson was involved with African trade. Could he have been involved with Joe Wilson? Or, could he have been somehow involved in the Iraqi "oil for food" scheme? I wonder how many other Congressmen are involved. I'll bet that most of his buddies are Democrats, but the Press won't pick up on that. In fact, one newspaper has already mis-identified Jefferson as a Republican!
