human events online publishes inaccurate wm jefferson story

human events online and chris field published erroneous information on their website about the fbi search of us congressman william jefferson's congressional office. their article implies that the often mentioned $90,000 [eur 70,535.71] found at congressman jefferson's home in a freezer back in august 2005 was discovered in this weekends search. an email from wst to mr. field has not been returned.

cnn's take
In a 95-page affidavit used to obtain a warrant for the office search, investigators stated that an August 2005 search of Democratic Rep. William Jefferson's home turned up the cash sum in a freezer.

your story about rep jefferson at this url:
http://www.humaneventsonline.com/blog-detail.php?id=15118

is incorrect in that you write: "Nevermind that the search found cash wrapped in foil and hidden in the congressman’s freezer."
the foil wrapped cash was found in a search of rep jefferson's home and not at his office as your story implies.
