That's not a good sign, the press conference is on C-SPAN1 right now.

1. Now Jefferson's talking...
It's a long winded speech.

2. That's called a "Freudian slip"!

4. Kind of an important one too...
most people would try not to get that part wrong. It just looks so bad when your own lawyer says it.

3. It's over now.
He at no time gave a compelling defense, just a generic address to most of the claims. He did talk about the $90,000 and in a way he sort of admitted that he was supposed to give that to the Nigerian VP. It was a sting operation, he was given the money by the FBI.

He's a crook for taking it, but you have to wonder at some level what their motivations were.

5. He took the money.
He wasn't GIVING it to anyone.
