We’re all shocked with this news, right?
If there’s a massive shakedown… And, it’s in Chicago… And, it involves democrats… Then it was only a matter of time before a Jesse Jackson popped up.
Jesse Jackson Jr. is the notorious “Senate Candidate No. 5.”
He says he will cooperate:
ABC News reported:
Chicago Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr., D-Ill., is the anonymous “Senate Candidate No. 5” whose emissaries Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich reportedly offered up to $1 million to name him to the U.S. Senate, federal law enforcement sources tell ABC News.
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 Obama 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.”
