Jefferson Indictment Coming Today?

I'm hearing that Rep. William Jefferson (D-Culture of Corruption) may be indicted today by a grand jury. Jefferson is on the Homeland Security committee. $90,000 in bribe money was found in the congressman's freezer. Will Jefferson get the Delay treatment from the usual suspects? Will Pelosi strip Jefferson of his committee assignments?

UPDATE - AP News Alert:
WASHINGTON (AP) Rep. William Jefferson, D-La., will be indicted in a bribery investigation involving business deals he tried to broker in Africa, The Associated Press learned Monday.
It's official...

UPDATE 2: Jefferson has been indicted on charges of racketeering, soliciting bribes and money-laundering.
