Jefferson was indicted for shady business dealings as he was running for reelection. [...] Cao came along, though, the legal cloud had dimmed the incumbent's star, but he was still very much alive politically. [...] the primary was in October, the primary runoff in November and the general election in December.
Gov. Bobby Jindal seems to be modeling his current political agenda with a Jeffersonian influence, but the wrong Jefferson. With so many Jeffersons - from Thomas to George - to choose from, it seems the governor might have looked at the wrong page in the history books. His move to establish and fund a philanthropic trust fund on the backs of constituents seems right out of the playbook of former Congressman William Jefferson.
A number of observers agree with me that if you study carefully what the FBI and Justice Department have put forth, they not only make no stibwing of an emergency situation requiring something special like a raid. But, more than that, they do not even claim that there was an emergency situation requiring something extraordinary," Tiefifer explains.
