Jesse Jackson, Jr. is Target of Ethics Probe
April 9th, 2009A congressional ethics panel is looking into possible violations by Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. during his attempt to acquire Barack Obama’s then-vacant seat in the U.S. Senate. Jackson and others had courted Gov. Rod Blagojevich, hoping to be granted the slot. Blagojevich has since been booted from the governor’s chair after being charged with trying to sell the Senate seat to the highest bidder. Late last month, the Office of Congressional Ethics voted to investigate Jackson, who is being required to relinquish a number of documents, e-mails and other correspondence from Blagojevich’s gubernatorial and campaign staff regarding Jackson, Jackson’s brother Jonathan and his campaign staff, the Sun-Times reported. Jackson, who has not been charged with any wrongdoing, is the son of civil rights icon the Rev. Jesse Jackson, Sr. In its criminal complaint against Blagojevich, the government listed a mysterious “Senate Candidate A” as one of several candidates that authorities say the former governor considered for the seat now held by Roland Burris. Jackson’s supporters were willing to raise $1.5 million for Blagojevich if he picked the congressman, the complaint said.

I’m confused, I thought Jesse Jackson, Jr. was the whistle blower who cooperated with the fed’s in his Blagojevich mess?
Jesse is a crook like his pappy.
GHOST HUNT!! I THINK IT’S A COVER UP FOR JESSE’S ROLE IN HELPING THE GOVERNMENT.
Chicago politics have always been shady and corruptive — if you want to play, you have to pay. Just because a congressional ethics panel is looking into possible violations, it doesn’t mean Jackson did any thing wrong. I believe Jackson was asked to make a contribution in order to be considered for Obama’s vacant senate sit, but he refused to pay. Jackson has already come forward and fully cooperated with other investigations leading up to this ethnics panel. He came out publicly to say he did not and would not make any contribution to former government Blagojevich.
