Rep. Jesse Jackson Told Feds About Illinois’ Governor
December 17th, 2008

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.

There is a interesting article in the NYDaily news stating that Mr. Jackson “ratted” on The Gov. after the Gov. told him that Mr. Jackson’s wife did not get a job with the Ill. state lottery commision because Mr. Jackson did not give Gov.Rod. 25k. I think that the Gov. will not only be impeached ,he will probably go to prison. It’s remarkable that damn near every Gov. in that state has gone to prison in the last 15 years.
So what do you want…a cookie?
I THINK REV J.J JR WAS TRYING TO GET IN WHERE HE FIT IN. WHEN THE REV. MET WITH THE GOVERNOR HE WAS PROBABLY TO THE POINT TO WHERE HE WAS WILLING TO DO ANYTHING TO GET OBAMA SEAT. THEN , HE LEARNED ABOUT THE SCHEME ON HIS WIFE AND RATTED THE GOV. OUT. I THINK THIS LITTLE J.J. JR IS A MESS. ONLY TIME WILL TELL WHAT THE OUTCOME WILL BE.

The Gov. knew he was being investigated,yet he kept talking.In essence he told on himself.
HE CANT BE TRUSTED
JIFFNN..THIS IS JUST THE START YOU WILL SEE ALOT OF GOVERNMENT AND NOW GOVERNMENT PEOPLE GET CAUGHT . THIS GOVERNMENT IS IN THE PROCESS OF CLEANING OUT IT’S CLOSETS.ALL OF THE DIRT THAT HAS BEEN COLLECTED AND NOT USED WILL BE PUT TO USE!! NOW IT’S JUST A OF TIME AND OPPORTUNITY.
SHARONDA, I’m just curious as to what you would do if you knew someone was doing some “shady” stuff that might hinder you from getting a job that you well deserved. LYNN, (don’t know if you’re male or female) I haven’t followed your blogs, but (bruh or sista) I agree with you. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was being groomed for such a time as this. He is a brotha who displayed his “ETHICAL DEMEANOR”. I like that, bruh. This nation just elected the first ever Black President! And if we can do that we can keep it going and elect another after 8 years!!!! BLACK, BACK TO BACK!!! Hey, we did it in the Miss America Pageant in ‘90 and ‘91! The election of Barack Obama as our next president shows that we as a people really CAN do anything, with the help of God!
CORRECTION….NON GOVERNMENT PEOPLE GET CAUGHT. .PEOPLE NOT IN GOVERNMENT GET CAUGHT.
Lynn
You are probably correct in saying many politicians are going too go down.Have you noticed that many of these guys that get caught bring it on themselves,for example the Gov. of Ill. talking too much knowing he was being investigated and Ex-Sen. Larry Craig of Idaho who admitted his guilt about the homosexaul advances in a bathroom then try too change his plea.

KYMMIE JESSE JACKSON JR IS NOT A REV, HIS DAD JESSE JACKSON SR. IS.. YO COMMENT KEEP REFERRING TO JR AS REV
SHARONDA, your opinion is don’t snitch on a crook When is it all right to SNITCH ? What CRIME would somebody have to commit before it’s okay to SNITCH ?
Today is not HIP to be educated. You are considered stuck up, a nerd or acting white if you go to school/college and get good grades. I have a relative who graduated from High School and don’t know how many is in a dozen.

As long as you are “givin’ it up”, you’re welcome with open arms.
Stop complaining about crime and unfair treatment we received, if you are only going to blame people who try to stop the criiminals, by speaking the truth. Its real easy to say nothing and just let things happen.
sharonda you stupid! I pray you are NOT a parent!!! your mentality is the reason black communities are in the shape they are in… nothing wrong with telling!!! i bet you dont believe in education either… no speaking proper english!!! this is prime example of how your rep can be destroyed just by who you associate with. I hope this does not destroy all the good Mr Jackson has done…
Jackson Jr.needs to go back and learn some more from DADDYJ_he not ready for the BIG dogs-
As far as Jesse Sr. and Jr. are concerned there is something just not right. This is not a race issue. Whatever you do will come out sooner or later. I’m not being judgmental. I am not blind and neither are you. The writing is on the wall.
Each day, this story is getting more interesting!
RAT, SNITCH. NO ONE LIKES A RAT/SNITCH. I WILL NEVER VOTE FOR HIM ON ANYTHING BECAUSE HE’S A RAT/SNITHC.
TWETT.. A ..LEE.. A ..LEE..& #8221;TL EE” ;.DID 217;NT MICHEAL JACKSON MAKE A SONG LIKE THAT?..RAT- SNITCH IS THAT SOME CAN OF NEW SEWING HEM?..GO OO.GOOO. .GAA.GAA A.
If Jesse Jackson, Jr is trying to clean-up corruption; then he most definitely needs to help get rid of all the Democrats and Republicans who have ripped off the American people who are still sitting in Congress and the House of Representatives. Most of the time, corruption will not be won by one single person who is trying to do good. I think there is more to this story; I applauds being truthful but one person can’t bring down a bunch of corrupted people who cares nothing about the people they represents but only cares about themselves. I would love to see Jesse appointed to the senate but he can kiss this seat good-bye forever. I don’t see the people of Illinois voting for him because he can’t be trusted.
its difficutl being a righteous man in a land of crooks and theives. He may have had to protect himself, given the nature of chi-town politics. the city has famed Al Capone, King Hoover, and Chief Malik ganstas in its mix. I pray that Jr. remains safe and does what he has to do in order to help the people of illinois. Obama would not play with the Gov. either. If we remove the snakes and enemy from our government, we may all prosper.

Wild Hen,
You got me cracking up! lol
I respect the man for speaking the truth! Don’t know what it will do to his reputation in that city with all the corruption there but he told the truth. He righted a wrong and he should not be punished for it. He probably needs to leave Chicago at this point though.
well obama form jackson little like them for one day they come to someone ,but the evil still there ,then the men knewn jackson jesse wasn’t on is corruption ,but he nomme jackson ,because he knew the interest jackson have regardless this post .them he was want it too ,them he prefere jackson don’t have nothing and he too, because the way is politic sometime ,jackson doesn’t nothing to his corruption but he put jackson on it. by ignorant ,by jealousie, by envy power,ect. but .you know what the bible said only one black will be president ,he did not said two. them we have to see the time of harmaguedon soon.just vigilant ,be .careful and enjoy the victory of obama.
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.
My friends describe me a soft, kind and sincere guy with good looking. I would like to meet a beautiful black girl who knows how to treat his man on all sides. Feel free to contact me on the famous online hub ” __ http://WealthyFinder.com __ ” Money is not very important
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!
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.
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!
LASHAWNADUH….YOUR MOM WAS READING DUMBNOMICS WHEN SHE NAMED YOU. ANOTHER BUTCHERED UP.. MADE UP AFRICAN NAME..ALONG WITH.. SHENANA& #8230;LA QUANDA..

They’ll mature within time, these are our future leaders (Whew!) Can you see Sharonda and LaShawna in politics lol!
Jackson and obama know that in time this is going to lead to them .
Jackson and obama know that in time this is going to lead to them and bye bye.

Wake up because you seem too be delusional.Obama and Jackson Jr. have done nothing wrong.Jacdkson Jr. cooperated with the investigation and the Gov. exonerated Obama via saying F… Obama because he would not give in to The Gov’s. demands,Pay attention to the facts.I know you hate Obama but you should get used to the fact both Obama and Jackson Jr. will be aroud for along time
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.
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.
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!!!
