Jesse Jackson Jr. Identified As Candidate 5 In Illinois Senate Seat Scandal!!! I Knew It!!!
I told you just yesterday that candidate 5 ,in all probability, was going to be Jesse Jackson,Jr. Even if it is found that there was no wrongdoing on his part,the fact that he is entangled in this mess will taint his good name. I hope that he did not offer to pay for that Senate seat.Here's more from ABC News:
"Chicago Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., is the anonymous "Senate Candidate No. 5" whose emissaries Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reportedly offered up to $1 million to name him to the U.S. Senate, federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
According to the FBI affidavit in the case, Blagojevich "stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided Rod Blagojevich" with something "tangible up front."
Jackson said this morning he was contacted Tuesday by federal prosecutors in Chicago whom he said "asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process."
Jackson said, "I don't know" when asked whether he was Candidate No. 5, but said he was told "I am not a target of this investigation." (END OF EXCERPT) Read the rest here:
