A family of thieves and finally one got caught. His old man sits on untold fortunes and has never had to pay taxes on one bit of it.

Don´t ask for sympathy from me!!!!

As with nearly all offspring, Junior must received his values and morals from daddy.

Jesse Sr. apparently skipped the lesson in how to keep graft covered up though when training Jr.

Like father, like son.

His punishment could be probation to 5 years. What do you think he´s going to get?

The "Entitlement" mentality strike again!

He completely got away with trying to buy Obama´s old senate seat. He raised a ton of money at a fundraiser during the whole Blago thing.Every idiot knows you don´t touch campaign funds for personal use but he thought he was above the law being a congressman and black.

Congressman, black and Jesse Jackson´s son #6. After all, daddy has been getting away with it for how many decades now?

Junior thought he was as slick as his daddy. He is just a Democrat simpleton.

Jr´s problem was that unlike his dad he ran for elective office. maybe this is why his dad never even seriously tried to be dogcatcher even though his admirers pushed for it.

What tells the world you matter better than a fur cape?

or, 10 - the mink lined parka. I want me one a dem...

Answer to #4´s question...a presidential pardon.

C´mon, Post.
It´s not like we didn´t already know his party affiliation, but a headline reading "Dem Civil-rights heir´s stolen souvenirs" would have been much preferred.
Better yet, "Another Dem Congressthief"

Ah -- yet another selected government crony from Illinois....

The Chicago Machine puts these mental munchkins in OUR House and Senate and they play and spend the taxpayer´s money while the "Machine" tells them how to vote and who to tax and who to give "special" favors to, i.e. senator menendez who was banging teenage girls in South America....while his friend got millions in taxpayer´s dollars.....

LZK

Again, fatherless boy does wrong. And you cannot tell me that a man who flies all over the world to put on his hissy fits, AND has a mistress, is an attentive father.

The nut doesn´t fall far from the tree.

Watch him walk, get "rehab", hire a public relations firm for the "redo" and eventual release into the public scene. It´s a predictable formula these days.

Those of you who have never lived in Chicago now see what "The Chicago Way" means. The machine gets paid. One way or the other.

Its very well documented that cronies of the last mayor had bought up the real estate that would have been then boughtout at inflated prices for Olympic sites had Chicago won the 2016 games. The machine gets paid.

When I first lived in Chicago in 1986 a report came out about a federal grant to run summer programs for kids in the city. 95% of the money had gone to administrators salaries. All the administrators were machine pols who knew nothing about recreation and who never attended a single meeting. But they got paid.

The Chicago Way.

Spitzer-Jackson in 2020! /s

"A once-promising political career." Give me a bleepin break!

The best part of this indictment? I think it´s taken that wretchedly phoney Santita(?)"God Bless" Jackson off Fox News. WHO at the network could possibly have thought THAT was a good idea?

The old apple really doesn´t fall far from the tree.

He will go on to join the long list of black Dem pols who´s elect-ability increases after some period of time communing with the oppressed prison population.

The outrageously high percentage of blacks in prison is considered to be evidence of prejudice and oppression rather than of actual crimes committed.

No, really.

I´m not makin´ this up.

It´s a Federal charge...somebody wants him gone. Eric Holder has turned a blind eye to other, more serious circumstances, from the Black Panthers to heavens knows. He didn´t on this...and the behavior doubtfully began in 2007. Chicago politics ain´t bean bag, especially when the Feds are playing.

I never bought into his mental illness act for one minute. I always thought JJ Jr. was suffering from severe guilt of being the main reason why Blago is in prison today. But, I gave him too much credit for having a guilty conscience. With these revelations, there´s no conscience no guilt, he´s just another corrupt Democrat feeding at the taxpayers trough.

Only "up to five years"? I would think that wire fraud and mail fraud alone would garner a much stiffer penalty. What are the chances that an "ordinary" person would spend more time in prison for these offenses?

Maybe this is O and his buddy, Emanuel, getting Jessie Sr. & Jr. Out of Chicago politics.

He´ll get a lesser sentence for agreeing NOT to testify about anyone else

Wasn´t this servant of the people re-elected by enormous margins last November. What a great place Illinois must be.

JJ has used his sons to extort money from any number of people over the years. Budweiser, Toyota, BP, just to name a few. There is even a book about JJ´s extortion racket. JJ is a low life who even flunked out of divinity school, but somehow managed to get the Rev title added to his name. God does not sleep. These people will get their due one day.

Remember when an open mike caught Jessie Jackson senior saying something to the about how he´d like to cut Obama´s nuts out? Payback!!!

You don´t think Obama forgot about Jesse Jackson´s open mic comment when Jackson said he would like to cut Obama´s n_ts off.

The clintons raise money all the time and never pay it back. I think that Hillary Clinton will raise many millions for 2016 knowing she will lose and that money will go into their bank accounts - offshore.

What I wouldn´t do to see some corruption-fighter swoop into the cesspool of Chicago politics and totally wipe them out and clean it all up. I would be so happy. Then they could come clean up California and New York afterwards!! Oh I can dream!!

Well. A story and a "family" with lots of "ends" and not a single "clean one" to "pick it up by." Ugh.

Public-figure-Daddy "Reverend" can´t manage to teach "Thou shalt not steal" to his namesake?

Oh, yeah -- the "Reverend" had a commandment or two that were... "problematic" for himself, didn´t he? [Happy Father´s Day, Je$$e!]

But some "deal": Hey, prison time should have been Job One for the prosecution. Yet: a. it´s not even in the "deal"; b. the deal is some one-count give-away, with a "max" of 5 years?

"Deals" with crooks, especially a corrupt House member: OK, any DA-type organization has to manage resources, and can´t afford big investigations and trials for every perp. But, for cryin´ out loud, if this guy [House member from big city, from a "Lookit me!" public-figure "iffy" family], with his history [trying to buy a Senate seat from a corrupt Guv, just for one example] isn´t a perp to pillory in a big public trial, who is? Who is?

"Taste" in indulgences: I haven´t [read: can´t and won´t; yuck] dug into the examples of his "taste," though I have seen a couple things mentioned. But gee, no mention of, say: a Sargent watercolor; an Eakins oil; a Duesenberg saved and restored; a hefty gift to U. of Chicago, the Art Institute, an adoption program, or a hospital; we could all find hundreds of really positive ways to use some of that loot. Junior, not so much, it seems.

Number 4, my supplication to the Lord is that he and his wife get the full five years, however, since he will be sentenced in Chicago, my guess is he will get off light with fines and probably one year. His crooked wife will get no time at all "´cuz someone has to care for the chirren." Patty Blago got off in this fashion.

Ahh....make him cellmates with Blago...The prison could have a reality TV show- ´Truth or Dare, The Chicago Way.´

Sr ran for prez - dem, o course, in 84 & 88. his attempt at prez was serious enough to get USSS protection. also a served as a shadow U.S. Senator for the District of Columbia from 1991 to 1997. in the 88 campaign, he skyed out on hotel bills and private airlines refused to extend him credit to fly. why anyone still takes this crook seriously is beyond me. why anyone would elect a crook´s son .... oh, right. Chicago. nevermind.
