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.

Can’t believe that his father is not stumping for his son claiming racism or some such. ;-)

He'll serve 1, maybe 2.

Being convicted of a felony should cause the government to forfeit his Congressional pension/benefits. But don’t put it past Eric Holder to pardon “his people”.

If he takes Jesse Senior with him, reduce it to 2 years.

Has anyone else noted the absence of his daddy lately?. The major race panderer has been noticeably quiet. Sharpton also.

Fed Pen, no parole, right? Obama pardon before he leaves, though.

“Because the couple has two children, prosecutors proposed that the sentences be staggered, with Sandra Jackson going first. According to the government, she could be out of prison in little over a year with credit for satisfactory behavior and serving the end of her sentence in home confinement. Both Jacksons are scheduled to be sentenced on July 3.”
Why? No one else would get that special treatment.

Some of those “personal items” was nose candy. That’s why he spent all of those months in rehab. Didn’t work, did it?

Junior’s constituents will crawl to the voting booths to elect him again once he’s out, and they’re not even the same ones as those of Alcee Hastings!

Bad parenting! Dad was on the road so much, shaking down all those countless corporations, he didn’t have enough time to spend teaching Junior the subtleties of the trade.
