Meanwhile, back in America,

[August 2005]
Rep. William J. Jefferson, a member of the House of Representatives, was videotaped accepting a $100,000 bribe from Lori Mody, a Northern Virginia investor and former technology executive who was wearing an FBI wire.  During the subsequent raid on Rep. Jefferson's home, FBI agents found $90,000 in cash in $10,000 increments wrapped in foil in the Congressman's freezer.

Where is he now?  Still in office.
