For those who were so willing to throw Jesse Jackson Jr. under the bus...

OOPSIE DOOPSIE!

It appears as though he has been serving as key witness and informant on Blaggy for a number of years.

Yeah - I just caught this on the news. They said the last two years, not ten years as the supplied link says.

Apparently The Gov would not appoint JJJ's wife to the lottery because they would not pay to play.

OK, I'll reserve judgement until the whole story is out, and keep him at money and power hungry politician who was not in bed with Blago status.

Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr; confidential FBI Government informant?
...Wonder how big a can of worms this will become??


You wearing a wire??

[lafinfil]

Not for the FBI but for the U.S. Attorney's office

[Panopticon]

I'll stand corrected but believe you're splitting hairs. The FBI is the 'muscle' for the USAO.

Sam's Club-Walmart, it's all Waltons :thumbsup:

They fight like cats and dogs - I've seen it on Law & Order

: -)

I got the impression that his informant activities were confined to Governor Blajoaevich ... Blaggovich... Blosonofvvich Helmet Hair

laf, let me help you with that...Blag-o-son-of-a-bitch

[decocritter]

Maybe Jackson had to become an informant, maybe they have something on him ...

Jackson threw himself under the bus, and had to know he would not likely become senator over it. I don't think he would have done that willingly.


The whole Chicago political mess is very fishy. I cannot believe that Obama got where he did, without being involved in it, more than he is letting on.
