With ABC News reporting that Jesse Jackson Jr. is "Candidate #5" on the Blagojevich tapes, the Reverend's son looks to get hit hard in the media as it was "Candidate 5" who offered Blagojevich millions in campaign cash for the lucrative Senate seat.
Jackson has aleady been contacted by federal prosecutors "come in and share with them [his] insights and thoughts about the selection process."
Jackson Jr., the son of Reverend Jesse Jackson, is an up-and-coming Congressman from Illinois who was among the top two or three candidates for the Senate slot vacated by President-elect Barack Obama.
While everyone knows how Illinois politics works, especially with countless Illinois politicians including three of the last six Governors landing in jail, getting caught with your hand in the cookie jar can be devastating to one's career.
Jackson, 43, has been in Congress since December 1995. Jackson looks like he is going to get hit hard in the media who is looking to swallow up everyone possibly involved in this scandal.
More to come as more details are released. This one is going to go on for a while.
