Jessie Jackson Jr. is done, and a federal prison cell is in his future.
Jackson pleaded guilty to multiple counts of fraud, and his wife pleaded guilty to providing false information to the IRS, according to the New York Post.
This is what happens when a person is never held accountable for his actions over an entire lifetime. As Jessie Jackson’s son, Junior led a charmed life and was fawned over by a compliant, enabling liberal media.
Now he has to pay for it with prison.
He also has to give back:
* More than $7,000 in memorabilia from martial arts movie star Bruce Lee.
* $6,000 in Martin Luther King Jr. memorabilia.
* $22,700 of Michael Jackson memorabilia, including $3,900 for the singer’s hat and $4,600 for one of his fedoras.
* $4,000 for a guitar belonging to Michael Jackson and “Runnin’ with the Devil” guitar virtuoso Eddie Van Halen.
* $2,300 worth of fancy capes — one mink valued at $800, and a black-and-red cashmere valued at $1,500.
* Other high-end fashion items, such as a mink reversible parka and a reversible black fox, totaling $2,700.

So why is he the only one facing jail time? What about Al Sharpton and others of his cronies like Jessie Sr.?? Why go after the small fry and not look a the president of the U. S. and his high spending family. If you think they haven’t used monies for their own pleasure explain the MANY vacations and shopping sprees they have been a part of. We have people in the U.S. who have never been farther than the corner grocery and we have to pay for the millions of miles traveled by these members of the house and also those in congress?? Politics don’t come by election but by the ones who can grab the most money. I still believe that once an individual serves he/she should be come what they were prior to election, an ordinary member of the human race. No Secret Service, No full retirement benefits, and get off their duffs and EARN a living for a change.
My thoughts were the same while reading that story.How did Washington get so out of hand.The pensions are disgusting! 95% of those politicians are out for as much as they can get. You’re right, what about Sharpton, Jackson, Rangel, and the rest of those crooks that I forgot! Can it never be fixed?????????????????
