WASHINGTON Prosecutors Friday recommended four years in prison for former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., following his guilty plea this year on criminal charges that he engaged in a scheme to spend $750,000 in campaign funds on personal items.
The government suggested an 18-month sentence for Jackson's wife, Sandra, who pleaded guilty to filing false joint federal income tax returns that understated the couple's income.

“If Attorney Corporal Holder is recommending 4 that means that Junior deserves 40.”
Knowing how he must have been given extra special consideration in the plea bargain, it makes me wonder what the full extent of his crimes were.
At the end of the 1988 Democratic convention, Jesse Jackson senior was whistling a happy term.
DUKAKIS: Why so happy, Jesse? You planning to run a third time?
JACKSON: No, I went to a fortune teller who said that I will never win.
DUKAKIS: Then why...
JACKSON: She also said that someday by firstborn son would do what I could not: be selected by the American people to serve four years!
“He’ll serve 1, maybe 2. “
And then he will return to “his district,” run, and be re-elected. Can you say Alcee Hastings? You will likely run out of “honest black politicians” to count, before you run out of fingers!

Marion Barry syndrome.
Thanks Hotlanta Mike.
Should be commuted to execution for both of them.
Where's PETA when we really need them?
Is his pension really that high? I thought that was how much his congress salary used to be.
54 days per year good time vested
And up to 6 months halfway house
that was about $750K divided by 4 years. the amount he pilfered.
