He had to do this - the laptop contained the only backup copy of Hillary's FBI file collection.

This should make him the left's poster child for their "We Care" program!

Classy. N.b. Josh Marshall's observation that the guy's house was being searched for evidence before the flood (ante-diluvium?).

Last month, you may remember, Jefferson's homes in the District and New Orleans were raided as part of a federal criminal investigation, the precise nature of which has yet to become clear.

Did Jefferson make the Guardsmen accessories?

William Jefferson D-LA should not be more than a blip on the news radar, save for a few things. One may recall Jefferson's self-serving chutzpah when he snagged National Guardsmen engaged in Katrina rescue operations totake him to his own home and "rescue" his daughter's laptop and a suitcase". We may be forgiven now wondering about what was really in that suitcase since we now know Jefferson like keeping his bribe cash wrapped in foil in the family freezer.
