    Default Democrat Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. in plea deal talks with Feds

    Sneed has learned U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., who handily won re-election Tuesday despite a lengthy stay at Mayo Clinic for depression and bipolar disorder, is in the midst of plea discussions with the feds probing his alleged misuse of campaign funds.

    The latest FBI inquiry into Jackson’s possible misuse of campaign funds began before Jackson went on medical leave in June.

    ... If Jackson, a 17-year veteran of Congress, opts to plead guilty to a federal felony — or goes to trial and is found guilty — he’d have to resign from the office he just won with a commanding 64 percent of the vote. A new election would then have to be called.

    According to a report in the Wall Street Journal last month, “attorneys for the lawmaker recently sought assurance from senior Justice Department officials to not seek an indictment before the November election.n.
    Another example of the Chicago-style cronyism inside the Holder DoJ.

    And a demonstration of the stupidity and sheep-like behavior of the voters in Jackson's district.

    oh my god....alert the media, the country has a crooked politician...say it isn't so!!?!?!?!?

    this is a sure sign that corruption is creeping towards the upper levels of our government...imagine what would happen if a POTUS were involved in something criminal and had to leave office...the country would collapse, chaos and anarchy would ensue....hope that never happens as I'd hate to see the country be dmaged by such a scandal...

    I cannot believe he was re-elected. What a joke.

    Yes, the media does need to be alerted, as a sitting (and re-elected) Democrat Congressman will be brought up on charges, and those charges were delayed until after the election.

    No story on Associated Press (better known as "Administration Press") or Politico....odd.

    Or hypocritical?

    I can. Sheep never surprise me.

    After all, Democrat Mayor Marion Barry was reelected by his "constituents" after being videotaped smoking crack.

    No more unbelieveable that Obama was re-elected. Had the 3 million republicans who voted last year but didn't vote this year went and voted it might have been a different story.

    your intellectual dishonesty clouds what little judgement you may have...

    I could fill M&T Bank stadium with all the politicians who were convicted of any number of crimes....this story has been taking shape for months...would you like to pull up some links to show you this is not exactly the breaking news you think it is....

    in terms of what this individual did or didn't do...for it rises to BFD, another crooked politician and not the first one ever to be relected while facing criminal charges...collective amnesia makes it possible to generate phony outrage when none is needed...

    carry on...

    Default Jesse Jr. A Crook? Oh Noesssssss!

    http://www.nydailynews.com/news/poli...icle-1.1200582


    Willikers, who would have thunk it? he faces jail and the loss of his pension over his misuse of campaign funds to decorate his home and splurge on a $40,000 Rolex for a female friend.

    Apple, tree, close, you get the picture. Chicago style at it's finest.

    So he disappears in a nuthouse for months and gets reelected by a landslide! Hard to make this crap up, another reason felons and illiterates should not be allowed to vote!
