Ensconced in the safety of their home in Washington, D.C., former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, former Chicago Alderman, Sandi Jackson, are struggling to make ends meet before their sentencing in June.
The shattered couple, who pleaded guilty to felonies, could lose their law licenses. They are desperately trying to pay the bills and figure out a financial plan for their two children......writing a memoir is on the table if JJJr. can find a publisher (or publish it himself).
The buzz is their major financial support now is JJJ’s devoted brother, Yusef, a successful beer distributor and businessman. It is Yusef who drove Jesse to Tucson when he was falling apart mentally due to the federal investigation, It is Yusef who has been there to calmly help his brother navigate through his emotional nightmare.

Oh, please.....get out the tiny violins. This is a lotta BS---the two crooked pols got plenty stashed away.

Plus as a Congressman he gave (I mean we, the taxpayers, gave) his pol wife a bundle for her campaigns.....actually Cong/earmarks falsified as "charitable contributions"
And just how did Yusef manage top become a “successful beer distributor?”
Cry me a river! That reporting makes the Jacksons into innocent bystanders to their own crimes. I’d be surprised if either one of them serves more than a year. And less than a year after that they’ll start their public rehabilitation a la Spitzer...
