Federal prosecutors asked a judge today to let the government seize the homes of former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandi, in Washington and Chicago, plus an IRA he has worth almost $80,000.
Jackson, 48, will be sentenced Wednesday for looting his campaign treasury of $750,000. The government wants him to pay a $750,000 forfeiture plus restitution in the same amount.

All I can think of is the cubby hole Tony Soprano had in the house with a 1/2 a mill, and more firepower than Ted Nugent.
I wonder if Jr had such a cubby hole and did they get it out already...

Corzine’s gotten off easy so far (I don’t look for him to make more than a token payment relative to his wealth in the civil suit). But, Jesse’s being stripped! Racial Justice! Racial Justice! /S

Nah, Obama will just fine a church, to get the money.

Can the government fine a church? The First Amendment prohibits the federal government from making a law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof.

When he gets out of prison...he will publically recant all he has done wrong and will be elected to the US Senate from Illinois.
Do you doubt it?

Never going to happen . . . Obama will surely call Holder and have his [in] Justice Department cease and desist on Jackson’s property acquisition.
