CHICAGO – Sneed has learned a plea deal is now on the table between former Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. and federal authorities probing allegations of campaign fund misuse.
Sneed is told the plea deal includes Jackson serving time in federal prison.
“Significant jail time is now definitely a part of the deal,” said a top Sneed source close to the probe.
“But I think [Jackson’s wife] Sandi, feels like she was thrown under the bus by her husband, ” now that a separate probe has begun on her, a second source added.

Born thieves and Obama our daddy is cleaning out the treasury! I learned that at a young age but looks like the liberals are going to learn the hard way and my kids are going to suffer for their ignorance.

Do you think he will be re elected when he finishes his significant jail time? They elected Jefferson down here after he was sentenced and appealing. He resigned and went to jail with most of his family. LOL
That’s what I was thinking–just a family reunion of sorts. He’ll be fine. And since he doesn’t care about anyone but himself, his personal angst will be minimal.
Exactly. Minimal angst, and a great time to consort with like political minds AND plan for future campaign contributions.
And, he’ll be re-elected when he gets out.
Sadly, you’re probably correct.
I think we more politicians in prison than on the outside now.
yes. Illinois used to be known as the “Land of Lincoln”. NOW, it’s the land of political felons…..and for some reason, some ppl in the northern part of the state find pride in that.
I don’t feel the least bit sorry for this man, although, he didn’t stand a chance–being the son of JJS and a product of the civil rights opportunists. I imagine his detox from crack is gonna be horrible when he gets confined.

That’s a JJ quote – maybe we can arrange an adjoining room?
One of very few quotes which I will ever use of our current Commander in Chief “If I had a son, he’d look like” Jesse Junior….
