Pending Jesse Jackson Jr. plea deal includes ‘significant jail time,’ source says
Chicago Sun Times ^ | February 6, 2013 | Michael Sneed

Sneed has learned a plea deal is now on the table between former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and federal authorities probing allegations of campaign fund misuse.

Sneed is told the plea deal includes Jackson serving time in federal prison.

“Significant jail time is now definitely a part of the deal,” said a top Sneed source close to the probe.

“But I think [Jackson’s wife] Sandi, feels like she was thrown under the bus by her husband, ” now that a separate probe has begun on her, a second source added.

Sandi Jackson claims she was stunned by campaign finance abuse disclosures against her husband, who has been treated for mental disorders and allegedly spent $40,000 on a Rolex watch purchased with campaign funds.

Sandi Jackson was advised to get a lawyer at least four months ago.

For years, Sandi Jackson was paid nearly $5,000 a month from her husband’s campaign fund through her consulting firm, J. Donatella & Associates. The payments continued, even after Jesse Jackson Jr. checked into a mental health facility last year and — except for a robo-call — did not campaign for the Nov. 6 election, which he won.

Is this investigation, now netting Sandi as well, politically motivated? Does it take out potential rivals of the Obamas and thus clear the way for Michelle’s Senate run?

“Triple J” is not mentally ill. That story has been a diversion. He is, however, a mendacious criminal, just like every Chicago democrat politician thief (I know, that’s redundant....). Now, if only the Feds could get to the BIG criminals - the Daleys, the Madigans, Rahm Emanuel, and the motherlode - Obama and Jarrett.

I smell a presidential pardon coming down from Papa Barry.


Excellent, then Soebarkah risks indictment for having negotiated with the felon for the selling of his former senate seat.

JJ Jr will be thrown under the Obama bus like all the others he no longer had any need of.

So I guess your bathroom is one of the “warmer rooms” in your home! Earl is smiling down on you for your adroit application of his commentary on AA “culture.”

His wife said “I couldn’t breath when I heard what was going on”. OH, wait. That’s what Hillary said when she heard about Bill gettin’ a Bj.”

Looks like all the support for _______ ain’t payin’ off. The election is over. Of course, wouldn’t matter anyway. Those who worship him will worship for eternity.....IN HELL!

And Jesse ain’t about to get off his gravy train. He’ll be tryin’ to raise money for eternity.....IN HELL!

Obviously not a Submariner. So WHAT kind of Rolex costs 40 grand and can someone post a pic of it?
