Jackson is 'Candidate 5'

This just keeps getting better :D



ABC News has a law enforcement source telling them that Jesse Jackson, Jr. is "Senate Candidate Five," the one who was -- according to Blagojevich -- willing to supply campaign cash in exchange for the Senate seat.

(This, incidentally, doesn't strike me as all that unusual in politics, or as obviously criminal as other things in the complaint -- though the crudeness with which Blagojevich discussed it was.)

ABC reports:

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."

Jackson Jr. said he agreed to talk with federal investigators "as quickly as possible" after he consults with a lawyer.

Criminal defense lawyers probably do well in Chicago. :lol: :lol:

They represent each other. :lol: :lol:

Actually, that's no joke. The last two big FBI stings in Cook County brought indictments for judges, aldermen, Chicago and Cook County police officers, court officials, a couple of Illinois legislators, and, you guessed it, about 60 attorneys.
