Jesse Jackson Jr's Blagojevich Story Doesn't Match His Fundraiser's
The Chicago Tribune reports that Jesse Jackson Jr.'s account of his efforts to get then-Governor Blagojevich to appoint him to Obama's vacant Senate seat is not matching the account given by one of his fundraiser's.
It is interesting that this account is being leaked out in advance of the re-trial of Blagojevish. It is also interesting the prosecution has not yet charged Jackson with any wrongdoing. |
Someone is trying to put the screws on Jesse Jackson Jr. today. The Sun-Times is also reporting, as the Chicago Tribune, did that he talked to a major fundraiser, Nayak, about contributing money to Blagojevich in exchange for an appointment to the Senate, but now the story has an added salacious element, one which suggests that he follows in his dad's footsteps:
Someone -- I suspect the prosecution -- seems to building a pyre under Jackson in preparation for the Blagojevich re-trial. |
