Jesse Jackson, Jr Claims Innocence
Yesterday Jesse Jackson, Jr held a press conference not only denying he is under investigation and that he sought to pay for the U.S. Senate seat vacated by Barack Obama, but he also went so far as to claim he was “shocked and saddened” by Blagoviech’s arrest and the depth of corruption.
Shocked and saddened? Are you kidding me?
Jackson, Jr went on to state he did not in any way attempt to buy his way into the vacant seat, nor did he empower anyone to negotiate in any way on his behalf.
In the meantime, the “Rev” Jesse Jackson, Sr has lawyered up. Anyone want to take a guess as to why?
