ALEXANDRIA, Va. — A congressman under investigation for bribery was caught on videotape accepting $100,000 in $100 bills from an FBI informant whose conversations with the lawmaker also were recorded, according to a court document released Sunday. Agents later found the cash hidden in his freezer.

"Slick Willie" Jefferson, who represents New Orleans, has not been charged and denies any wrongdoing.

If you're a Democrat I suppose it isn't.

"Slick Willie" Jefferson -- LOL!
I wrote the same thing, RJay.
Tens of thousands of dollars wrapped in foil and jammed into food containers and stored in a freezer.
Wrongdoing?
What wrongdoing?
Right. I believe you, Slick Willie II.
Thanks Mary,
I didn't think to add the roman numeral II
Freezer money: Cold Hard Cash.
