CHICAGO (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was released from an Alabama federal prison early Thursday, two years after pleading guilty to spending $750,000 in campaign money on personal items, his father said.

The Rev. Jesse Jackson described his son's release from the minimum security federal prison camp at Maxwell Air Force Base in Montgomery, Alabama, as a "joyous reunion" and said the younger Jackson was doing "very well."

Having a criminal record does not matter to people who vote for a candidate only if he has some black African in his blood. He WILL rise again in Chicago politics, assuming that he ever fell in the first place.

The modern democratic party reminds me of the movie “Goodfellows”, where when a hood gets caught and is sent to prison, when he gets out he’s even more respected by his fellow mafiosa buddies.

Sadly, his chances for running for president like his daddy wanted are now zero.

Bet the democrat party is waiting for him, to cast him as a victim and move him up rapidly in their ranks.

Exactly that.
One example: Marion “mayor for life” Barry of “**tch set me up!” fame after smoking crack on camera.
The Dems clapped him on the back, gave him hurrahs, and basically circled around him as if he were some kind of hero.

I’m not sure but I think a typical Obama vacay lasts longer than Grifter Junior spent doing soft time.
