Roll Call: At Least Seven Other Schemes

by

Roll Call reported yesterday on the FBI raid on Rep. William Jefferson’s (D-LA) congressional office. What stands out in the Roll Call article is this short paragraph:

But the Justice Department and FBI agents are also looking at “at least seven other schemes in which Congressman Jefferson sought things of value” in return for official acts, the affidavit states. That suggests that additional avenues for prosecuting Jefferson could be revealed soon.

Apparently this iGate-Nigeria deal is not the first in which Jefferson may have abused his position for personal financial gain. What could these other deals be? When they are all accounted for will Jefferson have deposed Duke Cunningham as the king of congressional corruption?
