Congressman Suspected In 8 Bribe Cases

Basti note: Folks this is like disturbing an old rotten log. When you first disturb the log a few creepy crawlies wiggle out. When you put the boots to the log it explodes in flurry of creepy crawlies fleeing hither and yon. If the FBI is allowed to put the boots to his rotten log many creepy crawlies are going to see the light of day for the first time in decades.

WASHINGTON - The FBI is focusing on at least eight different suspected bribery schemes as part of its corruption investigation of embattled Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., according to a federal affidavit and sources familiar with the inquiry.

A key part of the FBI inquiry has centered on Jefferson's dealings with a Louisville high-tech company, iGate Inc., that was marketing broadband technology for the Internet and cable television in Africa.

An affidavit used in last weekend's controversial search of Jefferson's Capitol Hill office, however, stated authorities are looking at "at least seven other" bribery schemes in which Jefferson "sought things of value in return for his performance of official acts."
