Jackson is no better than Blago, Ryan, Walker, Rostenkowski and the many other thieves in government and that
Includes his wife. These people are the reason Crook County and Chicago are looked down on as a cesspool of
Corruption. Will they ever learn.

Plea bargain? Seems like an unseen hand (Chief Executive) is orchestrating a mere tap on the wrist for Jackson. There should be no plea bargain for this crook! The feds should dig deeper and gather more evidence. The taxpayers lose again! Seize all his assets!

Are you referring to a skirt chasing reverend without a church that was able to coerce his family into a liquor distributor company?
