While the Democrats continue to pound on Foley for having sex with adult males we have this news:
NEW ORLEANS (Reuters) – A U.S. congressman from Louisiana, under investigation by the FBI after they found $90,000 in cash in his freezer, was endorsed by New Orleans Mayor Ray Nagin on Saturday and vowed that allegations of bribery would not hurt his re-election campaign.
Nagin, who an won an uphill re-election bid in hurricane-ravaged New Orleans last spring, told reporters he was returning a favor by endorsing Jefferson.
“He was one of the few elected officials that supported me during the mayor’s race, and I told him that if he needed my support, I would reciprocate,” Nagin said. “Until he’s indicted, I think we ought to presume he’s innocent until proven guilty.”
Lucky for Jefferson he wasn’t caught sending friendly emails to a young page huh? Or nasty emails to a young man…..then he would REALLY be done.
But the big question here is if anyone has checked Nagin’s freezer?
Yeah Curt,
One can only hope there is alot going on behind the scenes on this one, because it sure doesn’t seem like it going anywhere. Are they really going to wait until the SOB is re-elected to even “charge” him? Sigh.
Or, are we just going to have endless appeals of the search of his office and another Fitz situation (i.e. YEARS of investigation at millions of dollars that gets us nowhere)?
