Can the corruption of Billy Jeff take down the Skins as well? One can only hope. It's the story that keeps on givin'...
Dear Sir,
Please excuse me if I seem opportune, but I am a member of the out of power party in the United States Congress. I can influence legislation affecting millions of dollars in telecommunications legislation, but I need a Nigerian partner to assist me in transferring the funds to accounts set up in the United States in the names of my family members.
You come highly recommended as an upstanding and respected member of the Nigerian telecommunications industry. Millions of dollars are available to you, if you could assist me in transferring these moneys to my family members.
Of course he cooked it up. That is why he had all his money in the freezer.

Because in New Orleans, it didn't seem out of the norm ... just business as normal. It wasn't the first time your boss was involved in corruption, moron -- nobody gets caught the *first* time they break the law.
I'm just SHOCKED this aide spilled the beans, the RATS usually love to roll over for other rats...WOW! Yes, Jeffy's goose is cooked!
"Can the corruption of Billy Jeff take down the Skins as well?"
Spoken like a Giants fan. Hail to the Redskins!
I wonder, since it looks so familiar this shakedown move, did Jesse advise William Jefferson in the construction of this larceny?
bttt
Mody's Virginia charitable foundation was listed as the financing agent for a $9,000 trip Jefferson took to Ghana last July to talk up the project, months after sources say she began recording conversations with Jefferson for the FBI. Three months before the Ghana trip, she donated $2,100 to the congressman's re-election campaign, records show.

There is an expression "chump change"
In the world of balck crooks perhaps there should be an expression "Kojo change" Four hundred grand is apparently what's needed to clear out the bottom feeding politicos in Nigeriaa deals.
Jefferson was responsible for bringing to the table Norbert Simmons, a wealthy New Orleans businessman and former riverboat casino owner with long-standing political ties to the congressman. Simmons, whose name appears in federal subpoenas, offered to invest money in the faltering deal

Jefferson staffer says she was subpoenaed
> Grand jury investigating Nigerian telecom deal
By Bill Walsh
Washington bureau
WASHINGTON - A staffer for U.S. Rep. William Jefferson, D-New Orleans, notified the House of Representatives on Thursday that she had been subpoenaed by a northern Virginia grand jury investigating business deals connected to the congressman.
Angelle Kwemo, a legislative assistant to Jefferson, was required to make the disclosure under House rules. She didn't provide any further details.
In a brief phone call, Kwemo declined to comment and quickly hung up.
The U.S. Department of Justice is investigating Jefferson in connection with a telecommunications deal he was trying to arrange in Nigeria, according to those familiar with the case. The probe came to light Aug. 3 when the FBI raided the congressman's homes and, according to published reports, carted off cash from a freezer.
Jefferson has declined to comment.
Kwemo's name first surfaced in August in subpoenas seeking a broad array of documents relating to Jefferson and a Kentucky-based telecommunications firm, iGate Corp. The firm sought the congressman's help in breaking into the fast-expanding high-speed Internet market in Nigeria. The grand jury has been impanelled in Alexandria, Va., a Washington suburb.
Jefferson hired Kwemo, a native of Cameroon, in July. She holds a law degree from a French university and an advanced law degree from American University, and spent five years as a corporate lawyer in Africa, according to a biography provided by Jefferson's office. She also has worked with AIDS activist groups.
On Aug. 3, the FBI also raided the Maryland home of Nigerian Vice President Atiku Abubakar, seeking documents connecting him and his wife, Jennifer, to the congressman and the telecommunications deal. Jennifer Abubakar, a graduate student at American University, founded the Gede Foundation in Washington, D.C., to combat AIDS in African and other developing countries.
