Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said today that the FBI wants to interview him as part of the investigation into Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, though he says he's been told he is not a target of the probe. In this 2005 file photo, Blagojevich, left, is congratulated by Rev. Jesse Jackson, right, and Jackson's son, Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. D-Ill., second from right, after Blagojevich delivered his State of the State address to a joint session of the Illinois General Assembly in the House of Representatives at the Illinois State Capitol in Springfield, Ill.

According to the FBI affidavit in the case, Blagojevich "stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided ROD BLAGOJEVICH" with something "tangible up front."
Jackson Jr. said this morning he was contacted yesterday by federal prosecutors in Chicago who he said "asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process."
Jackson Jr. said "I don't know" when asked if he was Candidate #5, but said he was told "I am not a target of this investigation."

Sweet... Jackson Jr. and the Gov met on Monday and afterward the Gov indicated that he was close to making a decision.
The next morning the Feds arrest him. LOL
Jesse Jr. indicated that he is going to have a discussion about the selection process with the prosecutors some time today... right after he talks to his Lawyer. LOL
This is too funny. Exactly where did Jesse Jr. get million bucks? Do congressmen make that much money?

Jackson Jr. said "I don't know" when asked if he was Candidate #5, but said he was told "I am not a target of this investigation." Ahh...more Clintonian parsing. You may not yet be a "target of the investigation" Mr. Jackson but you are surely a "person of interest." One slip up in your discussion with the FBI and you will be receiving a letter from Mr. Fitzmas. BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA, your Daddy cannot save you now.
