Do you think JJJ would turn state’s evidence to save:
1. His wife
2. His father
3. His own behind
Is there any honor between thieves?
I have been reading about politically connected “family friend,” Raghuveer Nayak. Seems he was the goto guy for the senate seat payola. In November, 2007 he accompanied JJ Sr. to India, arranging a meeting with the Indian President.

A key figure in Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s alleged scheme to sell a U.S. Senate seat has sought immunity from federal authorities in return for his cooperation in their ongoing probe, the Tribune has learned.

On Sunday evening, Jackson’s lawyer, James Montgomery Sr., reacted to the news of Nayak’s bid for immunity by saying, “If that is indeed the case, and if that cooperation relates to my client, then [Nayak] is trying to save his own skin. That’s all I have to say.”

Federal and state election reports show Nayak, his wife and his businesses for the last decade have donated more than $779,000 and raised hundreds of thousands more for candidates ranging from the Cook County Circuit Court clerk to President-elect Barack Obama. He has contributed primarily to Democrats but has given money to some Republicans as well.
Nayak also has been a notable contributor and fundraiser for three statewide officials who have been among the governor’s harshest critics since the scandal broke—Atty. Gen. Lisa Madigan, Lt. Gov. Patrick Quinn and Treasurer Alexi Giannoulias.
