Ex-Rep. Jefferson, Free After 5-Year Prison Stint, Wants $392,000 Back

Jefferson co-chaired the Africa Trade and Investment Caucus and the Congressional Caucus on Nigeria during his time in the House.

During the investigation that led to his conviction, FBI officials famously found $90,000 in cash stashed in his freezer.

Jefferson was originally sentenced to 13 years in prison, the longest-ever sentence for a current or former member of Congress. Louisiana’s Supreme Court removed Jefferson from the bar in 2015.

I wonder if anyone can see any pattern in Judge Ellis's sentencing !?

Worth a look

1. I think Judge Ellis should be investigated.

Something is rotten and stinking in Virginia.

2. Something aint right, he didn't even meet the prosecutors half way

[democratisphere]

3. Agreed. Wonder if outside influences were involved in Judge Ellis'

sentencing decision. Outside aka Russians or similar.

5. Outside influences

Like the offer of a free membership at a Trump Golf course, located in Florida???

7. Things like THAT too.

4. Oh I do think his record is going to be looked at and discussed much..what the actual fuck?!?!??! nt

[okaawhatever]

6. That sentence is sickening. People won't have any incentive to work with Mueller

now to reduce their sentence. Cohen 3 yrs. vs. Manafort's 4yrs? Maybe that was the plan? I realize the charges aren't the same and that Manafort has a second sentencing, but still...….

8. +1, yep ... this is disgusting ...
