See Ya Later Junior
If you've been hidden in a cave all day, you might have missed this:
- They were congressman and alderman, candidate and campaign chief.
They are also husband and wife, father and mother.
And on Wednesday, in an extraordinary sentencing hearing, Jesse Jackson Jr. and Sandi Jackson added another layer of complexity to their relationship: Both will be prison inmates.
Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. was sentenced to 2 1/2 years behind bars for stealing $750,0000 from his campaign fund while former Ald. Sandi Jackson (7th) is to serve one year for filing false tax returns.
So JJJr. goes to prison, same as his predecessor Mel Reynolds. And Sandi adds to the stellar legacy of aldercreatures who have ended up serving time, something like 30 or more in 4 decades.
Good riddance.
Good riddance.

Blago gets 14 years for taking nothing, Jesse gets 2 for $750,000 nice! Maybe Barry and holder called the judge? Dam racism against Caucasians?
Yeehaw!!! How many IL politicians are locked up now? Not enough that's for sure. Boohoohoo JJR I hope you drop the soap every night you damn fake bipolar thief. Dont forget to pack your wife's wig, Bubba gonna like that.
If a typo occurred, and they stayed on future ballots, they both would be reelected
And Policemen get how many years in the federal shit house for slapping the shit out of a non-compliant/disobedient mutt?
And not that we shed any tears for him, but Blago got popped to the tune of 14 years for talking shit and over-playing his hand?
The feds put on a shit case resulting in a hung jury/mistrial...
Then they had to put him on again because they didn't want him blabbing in a tell-all book that "Himself" was up to his eyebrows in the horse trading for that Senate seat.
Fuck JJJ and Mrs. JJJ...
They both should've taken a similar lick.
They should both be gen-pop in a sho'nuff federal shit-house 1000 or more miles from their families and friends.
THAT... Would be justice.
They both deserved more. Assholes. All politicians are criminals.
And he only gets 30 months which he will serve before dear Sandi has to report for her 12 months. Blago who didnt take a dime from anybody gets 12yrs yet these two steal almost a million dollars(atleast thats what they got caught at) and they get a combined 3 1/2yrs? Not sticking up for Blago(even though i would much rather have him back than potato head) but how is that even remotely fair? The entire jackass family should be behind bars with life sentences for their crimes against humanity!
Should have been ten years for him.
But we will take what we can get.
Good sandi gone too, least for a little while.
HUSBAND AND WIFE!
Both were sentenced on the same day in the same courtroom by the same judge...and the Jackson Family thought that they were getting two for the price of one.....what idiots!
Judge Jackson was smarter than The Jacksons' legal defense team thought!
Steal $750,000 dollars and get 30 months? Sounds pretty damn lenient. And screw that 'mental condition' of his, the SOB was in congress passing fucking Laws! (12 months for that thieving wife of his is ridiculous)
Would an unarmed Bank Robber get 30 Months for stealing $750K. Would some secretary who Embezzled $750K only get 30 months? Would a Stock Swindler get 30 months? Seems like they're all about the same type of 'non violent' white collar crimes.
But I doubt those mopes who 'aren't somebody', and 'don't know anyone', would get off that easy, and would get more like Five to Seven years at least...in a real prison!
And he only gets 30 months which he will serve before dear Sandi has to report for her 12 months.

I second your entire post.
But leave it to Jesse to mastermind the best for last jr will be getting 8,700.00 a month while in prison and until he turns 65. Some might say it is only until he recovers from his bipolar problem. Well if you never have the problem your can't get well from the problem.
You have to wonder who the Rv, Jackson gave up to get JJJ and his wife light sentences? Does anyone think she'll ever serve a day? Is there a pardon in her future?
And, if the Reverend, Sandi, and the rest of the Jackson gang were so intelligent, why didn't they figure out JJJ was bi-polar before he got caught?
But, as soon as JJJ was arrested, BOOM! A miracle happened, they had an epiphany that JJJ was bi-polar.
That's $25,000 per month. Not bad.
And when he gets out, he'll get elected again. Pathetic!!!
In the words of JJ Jr to the feds..."bring it on"
I bet he wished he never said that.
And yet, no jail time for trying to buy a Senate seat. It clearly pays...
And in 10 years, he'll be "reformed' and probably reelected by his low information constituents.
Blago Rod got Shafted
If they gave Blagos sentence to Jr the Community would Riot
Free Blago Fist Pump!!!
And the the hard working law abiding tax paying citizens of this fucked up city will continue to vote democrat.
You get what you vote for. HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Sins of the father have visited his son!
Sandi should have served first. She would then be out in time to win back her old aldermatic seat which I believe comes up in 2015
I just love the fact that they were both found guilty, sentenced to do time BUT (snif-snif) she will do her time AFTER her husband gets out because they want to have a parent home with the children.
If it was you or me, we both would be going. But I have kids you say, tough, make arrangements to have someone family member to watch them and go do your time.
As far as Blago is concerned, I'm sure President Barry will release him when his 2nd term as prez is over.
I thought he was mentally ill. How does he qualify and get a SSA pension for disability, if the Judge found that there was a lack of evidence that he was mentally ill. I am sooooooooooooo confused.
Valid health troubles had as much to do with their antics as Komoko had to do with Corregidor.
Will Dart be heading to JJJr's pad to confiscate his firearms?
750,000.00 for 30 months. Let's see, that's 25,000.00 per month. Not too bad a deal, especially if you can spend it in camp fed.
I didn't see where he was fined and has to pay any money back.
And the reality is they will both run for office again here in Chicago..........and win......
When it was disclosed at the onset of impropriety by JJJr. with a possible investigation, (and penalty) he challenged the feds...
QUOTE: "BRING IT ON"
Your wish came through.
I only wish you've said, ..." AND THAT GOES FOR MY DAD TOO! "
You're Welcome.
C'mon, people. We know how this story continues:
Jr. does his vacation in Club Fed and finds religion. He gets out, and is invited by Oprah to a nationally televised weepy confess-all sit-down. Eric Zorn and the Tribune editorial board calls him a hero and tacitly forgives him for everything. And like NY creeps Weiner and Spitzer, he gets back into politics.
They need to make Blago and Jr cellmates and make it into a reality show. A modern day Defiant Ones.
What does dick mel get for his expired plates?
8,700 a month disability pay , for a convicted criminal , and we ask ,why is the state of Illinois broke . poor black kid commits a few crimes ,burglary , selling some dope to put food on the table for his family and gets more time in a state prison .
Blago should have kept his mouth shut, copped a plea and showed some contrition
and remorse and maybe the
judge would have given him
a much lighter sentence.
The Jacksons got sent to
prison because " Judge Jackson " is not a bought
and paid for cook county
judge.
Unbelievable that two people who are politicians and lawyers get a slap on the wrist, when they are suppose to know the law and help right laws! Where is the higher standard they should be held to???
And the jagoff still gets to keep his federal pension. But u or I. Not a chance.
And what did blago get for doing what? LOL wake up america zombies are running wild and we just stand and watch.
Why is Rahm still free?
The Dan Webb who argued for mercy for Sandi J. citing the needs of her children showed no such concern for the children of police officers when he was a federal prosecutor. Has he gotten soft or has a seven figure a year private practice income changed his viewpoint?
A lawyer for Jackson Jr. on Monday identified federal correctional facilities in Montgomery, Ala., and Butner, N.C., as the former congressman’s top choices — should he be sent away. He faces up to five years for looting his campaign treasury of $750,000 and spending it on luxury goods, vacations and even two stuffed elk heads.

WTF? JJJr gets to choose the institution? Next, he will be choosing his menu, or that might have already occurred. Does he also get a fucking lazy boy in the day room? Man, prison sure has changed since I was an alderman and got convicted by Fitzgerald on some trumped up bullshit.
Regarding the disparity in prison time for JJJr vs Blago: Someone I respect explained that it had to do with JJJr pleading guilty and taking the govt's deal, while Blago refused to go along with the govt's proposals and insisted on a jury trial. The easier stretch for JJJr is intended to encourage future defendants to take whatever deal the govt offers.
Sandi won't see a day in prison. Obama will pardon her before his term ends. He will also pardon Jessie, but unfortunately for him Obama won't want to deal with the backlash right now so he will have to do his time. It's nice to know you won't have a felony on your record when you get out tho.
"let me serve her time" "I manned up" what a crock of shit....and he is still eligible for a SSD payment in prison and a congressional pension in about 20 years...maybe his brother can give him a job at the Budweiser Distributor that their father extorted from Bud.
Yusef actually had the balls to ask for TIF money to expand the business.
The whole family makes me ill.
Being a convicted felon does not prohibit you from running for public office.
This brings a tear to my eye. Really. It does.
My 20 year old got arrested in Iowa for a fake D.L. and got hammered and these pukes got off with a slap on the wrist.WTF
time for sandi to get revenge on jr for having that blonde lady friend , party time for 30 months
None of the newspapers mention that JJJ is a DEMOCRAT!
the mutts got a light sentence for resigning in advance. There was the deal.

It'll never happen.
Jesse, Sr., guaranteed that the day he was heard on the open mike saying somebody should cut Obama's balls off. He sealed his son's fate right there and then. Sandy was just a bonus.

No fine.
Yes, restitution of the 750,000.
The weird thing is, the restitution goes to the government, so how is it really restitution? It's a fine, unless it goes back to the people who donated the money in the first place.
BOOM SHOCK-A-LOCK-A!!
CHICAGO"S FINEST...The best of the best. The one's with the higher math and science scores. hahaha.
Feds accuse ex-city comptroller Amer Ahmad of money-laundering, bribery in Ohio
Mayor Rahm Emanuel plans to order an audit of the work of his former comptroller, Amer Ahmad, after learning Thursday of a federal indictment accusing Ahmad of money laundering, bribery and other public corruption charges related to his previous position as deputy treasurer in the state of Ohio.

"Being a convicted felon does not prohibit you from running for public office."
True. But the Illinois House and Senate, right after throwing Blago out of office, also barred him from EVER again holding office in Illinois.
I think they (or other authorities) should do this to Mr and Mrs JJJ - and any other crooked Illinois politician that gets convicted.

8/15/2013 12:05:00 AM
Newsflash...the Caucasians got Blago 14 years. If you remember, black people thought that Blago was the victim of a witch hunt. WVON had people crying and moaning all day that the reason the state went after Blago was because he was such a friend to "the black community." Yesterday, almost everyone on the news was black and they almost unanimously said they had no sympathy for Jr. and he got off easy. Try again ace.
Blago has to be sitting on his steel bunk right now, face planted in his hands and saying "What the Fuck?"
There is no justice in Cook County!

Actually, yes there is. Drive down to 79th and Roberts Road, and there is Justice!

And a federal pension and he and Sandy do not have to pay back the money that they stole. A good deal for them
AMF's!!
He still gets his congressional disability (bipolar)& his congressional pension. Isn't that great! /s
"Being a convicted felon does not prohibit you from running for public office."
If he appeared on a ballot tomorrow, he'd be re-elected.
At least the voters would know exactly where he is & what he's up to this time.
Perhaps ALL elected officials in Illinois should serve their terms concurrently; IN prison and IN office.
rb
He is going to get disability pay and still have a pension. And yet the people who work for this city are to blame for its money misfortunes.
The Media article should have added "Campaign Money Thief".

Good one.
Sandi wont see a day in prison, but it wont be because of Obama. The families dont like each other.
She went last because she is getting contracts for consulting(paybacks for previous favors) and after the 30 months Jr is away she will claim she has turned her life around and is a model citizen making an honest living and will petition the judge to reconsider her sentence. Then the judge with vacate the 12 month sentence, claiming it would serve no purpose, that Sandi is rehabilitated and served meals to the homeless on Thanksgiving. That would be my scenario
No help from Obama or did you forget dads comment about cutting his nuts off
The last laugh is on those that thought it was legit.
