unidentified sources as saying Jackson had told investigators Blagojevich wouldn’t appoint Jackson’s wife as state lottery director because the congressman wouldn’t donate $25,000 to the governor’s campaign fund
ABC7 has learned that since late last summer, the congressman has worked with federal prosecutors, informing on an alleged Blagojevich administration scheme two and half years earlier.
The meeting in June of 2006 at a Gold Coast hotel included Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. and Blagojevich fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko.

“Blagojevich went out of his way to say, ‘You know I was considering your wife for the lottery job and the $25,000 you didn’t give me? That’s why she’s not getting the job,’” the person said, speaking on condition of anonymity because of the ongoing federal investigation.
“He (Jackson) has shared information with federal prosecutors about public corruption during the past several years, including information about Blagojevich and others,” Edmonds said.

There goes JJjr’s street cred.
By the time the Rats are done yelping fritz will throw his hands up in the air and commit suicide .
I see Jr right in there thinking this was a step up, and trying to out bid Obama. BTW, the Blago fundraiser did happen.
There was an obvious bidding war, Obama wanted a friendly Senate spy, and was trying to outbid the competition.
If he’s been talking to federal investigators for years, why isn’t the entire Combine in jail?
Brian Williams was all atwitter tonight about this.
He reported that JJ jr has been ratting out Rod for at least two years.
Although, not on this specific case.
Something doesn’t smell right about JJjr
suddenly confessing to being Chicago’s Sammy the Bull Gravano on all things Blogo,
except the Senate seat.
I get the feeling that the cesspool of Illinois politics is going to be a circular firing squad.Which is fine by me!
you do know that if Jackson is cooperating with the authorities he is doing so for a reason. They are holding a threat over his head. Anyone know what it could be?
It was talk or be indicted.
