That info came from USNewswire, the ultimate media whoring outfit. They'll publish anything for you if you have the bucks.

In other words, since this is not legitimate "news," Jefferson had to resort to paying to spread his lies. I hope it cost him a bundle!

If it's from USNewswire, it may be an idle curiosity, but it is most certainly not "news."

It's kinda of interesting... I've noticed most of the stuff put out by USNewswire comes from the RATS. Maybe USNewswire is a front for the DNC or Soros.

In a real universe, yes.

But is he talking?

Sounds like it...

But in his guilty plea, Mr. Jackson asserted that iGate’s payments to the family’s consulting firm amounted to bribes for Mr. Jefferson’s help. He also said he believed that if he had stopped paying, Mr. Jefferson would have quit helping him.

Mr. Jackson, a boisterous man as big as a football lineman, has been cooperating with federal authorities. In a recent interview, he declined to talk about details of the case. But he said that while he had lost an earlier company to chicanery by business associates, “I didn’t think it was going to happen to me in dealing with someone in government.”
