The Apple Seldom Falls Far From the Tree

“Senate Candidate no. 5” appears multiple times throughout the FBI’s 76-page complaint against Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.

ABC News has identified candidate #5 as none other than Jesse Jackson’s son, Chicago Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.

According to the complaint, Candidate no. 5 offered “up to $1 million” to Blagojevich to name him as Barack Obama’s successor in the Illinois Senate.

According to the FBI affidavit in the case, Blagojevich “stated he might be able to cut a deal with Senate Candidate 5 that provided Rod Blagojevich” with something “tangible up front.”

Jackson said this morning he was contacted Tuesday by federal prosecutors in Chicago whom he said “asked me to come in and share with them my insights and thoughts about the selection process.”

Jackson said, “I don’t know” when asked whether he was Candidate No. 5, but said he was told “I am not a target of this investigation.”

Jackson said he agreed to talk with federal investigators “as quickly as possible” after he consulted with a lawyer. (Source)

Let’s hope Jackson’s voice isn’t heard on any of those wiretap tapes.

I knew this thing was going to blow up. I hope nothing comes out to get Barack impeached before he even takes the dang oath of office. Geez Lil Jesse.

I think she really has a vendetta against black men.

OR maybe they aren’t darkskinned enough for her and she can’t identify with them

DAMN……

Judging by the comments some of yall ain’t reading the news. Go to CNN or something. This mess is so out of pocket that Sandra didn’t even have to make anything up for this post. It is sensational enough. Its going down for sure and all we can do is hope our boy Barack doesn’t get burned. Lil Jesse has really disappointed me.

Divine, don’t get kicked out now!

The fact that Lil Jesse has offered money does not surprise me one bit. It’s time for all of Illinois politicans to get clean and if they aren’t I hope the us attorney gets them bc this ain’t no joke. They f*cken up people’s money in Illinois. As if this state wasn’t f*cked up already!

All of them need to be investigated, including Obama. Ya’ll know I’m love me my President-elect but if his hands are dirty, I will not support him.

I’m confused about what caused “the government” to bug the Governor’s office and tap his phone. What initiated that?
http://myspace.com/erikamagaly Hermosa

Divne, I believe I heard this morning that it was another Illinois politican that tipped off the FBI. Not positive though.

They should bug every politican in Illinois regardless bc this state is corrupt as hell.

And you aint lying Bird…this dude was on some old other stuff!

He had the God complex…

@ Bird I agree if you want real news on a daily basis go to cnn, msnbc or fox. The only Jackson I need to read about on a gossip blog is Janet Jackson (congrats on the baby). I mean I can see one story but there are more Obama post than gossip post. & not to say don’t keep us informed but damn don’t overkill.
http://myspace.com/thegameoncw Bird

Hermosa,

I’m with you. Maybe ALL politicians phones, homes, cars, etc should be tapped because these mofo’s are out of control. I really have my fingers crossed that Barack is at least mostly clean.

can we stop with this madness sandra?

It’s not really madness… This is partically true and doesn’t surprise me at all.

The whole issue is, he’s making the eligible candidates bid on Obama’s Senate seat. Jessie Jackson, Jr is a contender so my first thought when i heard this was that Jessie Jak, jr was probably involved or participated to a certain degree.

All of the contenders really wanted that seat and they all know the rules of engagement when dealing with Chicago’s politics.

Janet’s not pregnant, guys. But this Blog is pregnant with boredom. I left to go to a conf call – ate lunch and came back and got this lame stuff. If I wanted BS political news I’d go to FAUX news. I think the last time something juicy was posted here was when Lisaraye and her husband went fist-to-cuff on one another…

Sandra ain’t even saying anything about the kid who claims LR is his birth mom and she gave him away.

The issue with the post is taht Sandra keeps trying to involve Obama because its his seat at stake – other than taht, she has been detailing some facts. Obama’s involvement is when the speculating comes in and we get typical Sandrahatemen commentary.

My thing is here we go with this mess, “oh if…” but a President can be accused of having involvement with bringing down the twin towers and killing thousands and we hush, hush about that but soon as they implicate one of us…….here we go. Please people, they are trying so hard not to let this man in there and that is obvious, Im tired of having to be over exceptional just to be average and its no different for him, they had a damn article cause the man smokes cigarettes. If they found out he has ever lied about anything they gonna impeach his ays, but hell we can be lifelong friends with Bin Laden and guess what? No implications, Im bout tired of this bull!

I am saddened by the news that Senate Candidate #5 is possibly Jesse Jackson Jr. I couldn’t even sit through his interview with ABC news. It’s unfortunate that one of the reprsentatives in Congress had to stoop to this level to try and get a senate seat.. A senate seat!! He could have just run for in in 2 years if he was so good at fundraising that he could offer 500,000 dollars.

I think Barack Obama may have known that Jesse Jackson Jr was not above board ethically and that is why he was opposed to Jesse taking over his Senate seat. Sandra neglects to point out that Rod B said he would go with Senate Candidate #5 just because the President-Elect was against it.

The apple may not fall far from the tree, but good thing the President- Elect could smell the bad apple from the rest of the bunch.

Lately, I haven’t been keeping up with politics just because of the “drama.” Seriously, I’m starting not to even care.Just trying to find out “dirt” is just as childish.It’s like Pre K bullish.Why are grown people acting like such children.I’m over it.

Jesse Jr. already expressed interest in taking Obama’s seat if he was elected.

This must happen all the time, if everyone was so free willing to offer up money. Isn’t this the main reason people get into politricks? Its definitely not to end poverty, stop the violence, or create jobs.

…she’s mentioned in the sentence just before – “…last time something juicy was posted here was when Lisaraye and her husband went fist-to-cuff on one another.”

Luckily for Lil Jesse the feds don’t have him on tape. All they have is the crazy govenor stating that Lil Jesse was willing to pay. Lil Jesse never said it on a recorded line himself. I’m glad he was at least smart enough to keep it on the low.

I totally respect your opinion of new Presidential – Elect ,President Obama as I like to call him, but I see why blogs or just blogs. It’s a great forum to express you opinions. To put in a nutshell though you opinions SUCK! That’s my opinion though. The reason they SUCK is not because your opinion is not pro-Obama but because they are bombarded with inaccuracies. I mean I wish I had the time to break down every situation that you have lacked information or material, but I have to vote for Obama in 2012. Listen I don’t care who it is you are hating on for the week, whether it be T.I., Usher, Obama, Jesus, or Allah but at least be on point. Be informed, young lady, don’t be some average pajama wearing blogger, be better than that. I really like you, actually! So, like I said that’s why your opinions SUCK. Just try, pretty please with a cherry on top, to not make them SUCK!!!

@Sandi

Are you going to report how Fitzgerald said that President Elect Obama is not implicated in the indictment and that when he is mentioned in recording it is about him not wanting to play ball in anyway other then giving the Gov. a pat on the back and saying good job also that was done by a third party. And also word around Washington is that Obama’s people may be the ones that tipped off the DOJ and gave the evidence that helped them get the wire taps.
