Before searching Rep. William J. Jefferson's New Orleans home in August 2005, FBI agents confronted him with a video that showed him accepting $100,000 from a government informant, according to a prosecution document filed yesterday in federal court in Alexandria.
Afterward, the Louisiana Democrat sank back into a couch in his living room and "with total dejection remarked 'what a waste,' " according to the government account, which did not elaborate on his comment.

Jefferson then "questioned how his reputation could survive" and expressed concern whether the search warrant affidavit could be permanently sealed to keep the information from being made public, according to the document.

Sounds like he knew they had him dead to the wall.

Good, I hope they take him away.

I also hope they take Doolittle, Young, Renzi and a few others away.

Good deal, next they need to go after Harry Reid for his land deals, and Hillary Clinton on her campaign funds.
