Jesse Jackson Jr. Charged With Illegally Spending Campaign Funds

Former Rep. Jesse L. Jackson Jr. of Illinois was charged Friday with conspiring with an unnamed person to illegally spend campaign funds.

As Politico reports, some of that money was spent on buying a $43,000 Rolex watch, "fur coats and memorabilia associated with Michael Jackson, Martin Luther King Jr., Malcolm X and Bruce Lee."

I thought this investigation had been going on for some time. Probably what caused his breakdown.

Hi,

Careful they will call you a racist. When he tried to buy a senate seat by bribing Blago with $1million that should have given us all a clue.

Sandi Jackson joins husband in pleading guilty

Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, former Chicago Ald. Sandi Jackson, pleaded guilty today in what prosecutors said was a conspiracy to siphon about $750,000 in federal campaign funds for their personal use.

Jackson Jr. entered a negotiated plea of guilty this morning on one felony count of conspiracy to commit false statements, wire fraud and mail fraud. He could face years in prison when he is sentenced this summer.

Chicago Tribune

Don't worry about Jesse Junior... he'll wind up with a cushy job in some Democrat administration or liberal think tank.

His crooked ass and his wife belong behind bars now.

Hi,

I guess he pleaded guilty and will get off with a lighter sentence. Maybe they can put him in the same jail as the two former governors from IL and they can exchange ideas.

Likely he will do a short time then get out on probation for good behavior.

I heard that federal charges require 80-85% of sentence to be served. They don't have time of for good behavior.

Federal time is nothing compared to State Pen time.

Would not surprise me if he is not pardoned by Obummer. What ticks me off is that you will have Repubs sign a petition to do just that. That happened with the ex crooked Gov. of LA, Edwin Edwards. Politicians should have to spend 100% of the time sentenced behind bars plus none of this halfway house crap. My empathy meter for politicians is hitting on bottom.

One-Third of Sitting Black Caucus Lawmakers Have Been Named in an Ethics Probe During Career

According to a 2012 National Journal study, five of the six lawmakers under review by the House Ethics Committee were Black Caucus members. Yet just one in 10 House members belong to the group.

In 2009, all eight lawmakers under ethics investigation were African-American. Besides Jackson, they included Rep. Charles Rangel, D-N.Y., who was later convicted of accepting gifts from donors with business before his tax-writing panel and 11 other ethics violations.

All told, the Journal says, an astonishing one-third of sitting black lawmakers have been named in an ethics probe at some point in their Hill careers.

The stat does not include former lawmakers now doing time in prison, such as ex-Rep. William Jefferson, D-La. FBI agents last decade caught Jefferson red-handed with $90,000 of bribery cash stashed in his office freezer.

Democrats wanted to disband the House Ethics committee because it is racist.

It has got to be racist if some lying, sprocket, scumbag, Democratic crook, was caught with his hand in the cookie jar.
