WASHINGTON -- Newly unsealed documents in the federal bribery case against Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, describe a plan to steer profits to the son of the president of Ghana and a frantic effort to get the congressman to revive a lucrative deal in Nigeria as it appeared to unravel.
The papers also state that Jefferson stored some of the of money he took from an FBI informant in soy burger boxes and other food containers in the freezer his Capitol Hill home.
The good news is that Billy seems to have been trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, what with eating soy burgers and all. The bad news - well, he still stashed $90,000 in his freezer, and the indicted Democrat congressman is looking about as clean as the underwear of the folks in our family after a "Sloppy Joe Sunday" at Grandma's.
