Rep. Jesse Jackson Told Feds About Illinois’ Governor

December 17th, 2008

Jesse Jackson Jr.

 

Rep. Jesse Jackson told the feds about Illinois’ governor. Illinois Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has been a government informant, spilling the beans on Illinois’ embattled governor and other miscreant politicians for years, The New York Post reported Tuesday. The newspaper said that a Jackson spokesman, Kenneth Edmonds, acknowledged that Jackson had spoken to the feds about Gov. Rod Blagojevich and others. Blagojevich is now under investigation for allegedly trying to sell Obama’s vacated U.S. Senate seat to the highest bidder. Chicago’s WLS-TV reported that Jackson Jr., the son of the famed civil rights leader of the same name, told investigators Blagojevich refused to make Jackson’s wife director of the state lottery because Jackson would not pledge $25,000 to the governor’s campaign fund. “Blagojevich went out of his way to say, ‘You know I was considering your wife for the lottery job and the $25,000 you didn’t give me? That’s why she’s not getting the job,’” a source told The Associated Press. Jackson doesn’t deny meeting with Blagojevich about his interest in Obama’s Senate seat one day before the governor was arrested on federal corruption charges.

I’m not convinced that Jesse Jr. was trying to clean up corruption. He was trying to get in by any means necessary and got caught. You are either right or wrong. There is no in between. It’s sad but true.

WOW! Them Jacksons’ (Jesse & Jesse) are something else. NO! He don’t need to be in the White House with Mr. President BARACK OBAMA, he might spy on him. Whewww…the things you find out about folk, and your own folk too!



yolanda Said on

D. Alexander you are so right in your comment about the things you find out about folk and your own. Before and since President elect Obama was nominated the talk was someone would assassinate him. I told some co-workers that we have to watch out for other races, but if anything happens to him it may be his own that does it. It does not surprise me. I don’t like it, but it is real.



yolanda Said on

I would like to be wrong about jesse and will apologize if I am. Just look at his face.

What I think people do not read or something. Jesse Jr. you did the right thing, because if you kept your mouth shut you would be in a lot of trouble, right with the Gov. That is wrong with people you all rather say nothing and just let stuff happen. Then want to get mad when things go wrong.

Sharonda and Lynn, did you all major in dumbnomics! You all are just stupid, instead of writing on BET all the time you all need to read a book!

David
WAKE UP !!! I know you don’t like either Obama or Jackson Jr. but they have done nothing wrong.The Gov. exonerated Obama via saying “f,,, Obama because his transistion team would not pay to play. Jackson Jr. cooperated with Patrick Fitzgerald and will probably be appointed Se. fom Ill. You should get used to the fact both Obama and Jackson Jr. will be around for a while.



Cocoa59 Said on

From my understanding Jessie Jr. works for these people this is a part of his job. So if he is hired to do a job and that is part of it then nothing negative should be said. If the shoe was on the other foot the same would have been done.



We Do Know The Answer!! Said on

Do we all know there is an answer to everyones questions, opinions, thoughts and feelings. It is the Bible!!!! Everyones question would have been answered IF we have opened our Bibles. Once we make that move we shall find ALL our answers and our path to righteousness. It is sad to hear how these crimes take place and turn our worlds (individually) upside down. God bless us All!!!
