“Where Is My Goddamn Money?”From The Washington Post:
Rep. William J. Jefferson (D-La.) testified yesterday that an FBI agent cursed at him and told him that “this is going to be the worst day of your life,” just before agents searched his Louisiana home as part of the investigation that led to corruption charges against him.At one point during the tense interview at his house in August 2005, Jefferson said, an FBI agent followed him to the bathroom. “I told him, ‘Are you going to the bathroom with me?’ ” Jefferson said in U.S. District Court in Alexandria. “He said, ‘Yes.’ “
Minutes later, another agent informed Jefferson that $100,000 he had accepted from a government informant — allegedly used to bribe the vice president of Nigeria — had been supplied by the FBI. Leaning forward, the agent yelled, “Where is my [expletive] money?” Jefferson testified.
(The Hill helpfully fills in the expletive.) Jefferson didn’t reply, “in the freezer.” Instead, he says, he refused to answer any more questions at that point.
