Jesse Jackson Jr. Is the Target …
In what’s shaping out to be a pretty dreadful year for Jesse Jackson’s Jr., the Chicago congressman who has been on medical leave for bipolar disorder is now the subject of a criminal investigation for misusing campaign money to spruce up his house.
The Wall Street Journal‘s Devlin Barrett and Evan Perez report that a FBI probe of Jackson is in its “final stages … according to people familiar with the matter,” with the possibility of an indictment coming before the November election. The paper reports Jackson’s attorneys tried to get assurances that an indictment wouldn’t come before Nov. 6, but Justice Department officials refused to make any promises. He’s alleged to have “misused campaign money to decorate his house,” reports the Journal. Evidence of a probe’s existence first appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times on Friday, but the paper didn’t report why the congressman was being investigated. Sources did tell the paper, however, that it involved Jackson’s finances. After the Journal leapfrogged the Sun-Times last night, the paper followed up with details of some unusual activity involving the sale of Jackson’s home, which seems to have tipped off investigators:
The Jacksons put their Washington, D.C., home on the market last month at a price of $2.5 million. The listing was public and included the property’s address as well as multiple photos of the inside of the home. A campaign spokesman said at the time that home was put on the market to pay for mounting medical bills… A day after the D.C. listing was made public, the couple subsequently took it back off the market, citing a security issue.
If you’re keeping track of Jackson’s legal problems at home, this probe has nothing to do with an earlier investigation into Jackson and disgraced ex-Gov. Rod Balgojevich who was accused of scheming to sell off Barack Obama’s old Senate seat. (Jackson denied any wrongdoing in that matter.) When it comes to this current investigation, no one knows if it was slowed down by Jackson’s surprise disappearance in June which was later attributed to treatment for bipolar disorder and intestinal problems at the Mayo Clinic.
Whatever the case, Jackson’s intestinal problems aren’t preventing him from having a drink at DC watering hole Bier Baron, according to Gawker’s John Cook.

Please note: I don’t believe in the “666″ stuff – never have, never will. But, if I’m going to look into the 11/5 666 drawing, and declare it to be statistically insignificant, I have to check into the history of 666 in the Illinois lottery.
You can do a search of specific numbers through history of Illinois lottery – so go ahead and do a search on 666 at the link above. You’ll see it appeared four times in 2008. Prior to 2008, about once every couple of years, and NEVER four times in one year.
Go ahead – pick a number, any number, and check to see how many times it appeared in 2008 in the exact order you put in – go ahead and find ANY one number that appears four times in one year EVER. (I haven’t as yet.) (I don’t know how to figure out the statistical odds of having on three digit number appear in a drawing 4 times in one year – anyone care to figure this out?) I did searches on 111, 222, 333 etc., and found instances of 3 times in one year, never 4 times.
Note: I did find instances of numbers appearing within just a few days after a prior drawing – check 111 and 888 for example.
So then I looked into the dates 666 was drawn . . . 1/16/2008; 3/22/2008; 10/23/2008; and 11/5/2008. For fun, I did searches on “Barack Obama + the date”, and here’s what I got with next to no effort:
1/16/2008: 1 year anniversary of the day BO announces his campaign for president (http://www.4president.us/websites/2008/obama011607website.htm)
3/22/2008: in a stunning announcement, Bill Richardson puts the final nail in Hillary’s candidacy (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/22/us/politics/22richardson.html) (to be fair, Richardson made the announcement the day before, but it didn’t hit the news until 3/22)
10/23/2008: new york times endorses Obama (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/10/24/opinion/24fri1.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1)
11/5/2008: Obama wins the presidency (http://www.cbsnews.com/video/watch/?id=4572578n)
Please note – this is just for giggles . . .
Obama’s zip code is 60606, ( 3 sixes) and Mabus is his chief advisor.
Obama isn’t the only that had this zip code. Get real people and think for yourself instead of listening to conservative talk shows and Fix Noiz.
The link doesn’t work.
I bet this is made up from the FACT that the Lottery Number in Maryland on Election Day WAS 666. And Roanld Wilson Reagan is 6 letters first name, six letters middle name, six letters last name. Beat that!
This link works. Just a coincidence – but strange!
That proves it Obama is the Anti Christ… No doubt about it…
I guess the republicans where right all along
We better get him thrown out now !!!!!
ha hope you get the sarcasm
not a message from God
The true patriot is an informed voter.
Iam glad he’s the devil. Atleast he’ll spice things up a bit.
