Ethics panel resumes probe of Jesse Jackson Jr. - chicagotribune.com

Ethics panel resumes probe of Jesse Jackson Jr. - chicagotribune.com:

"WASHINGTON — The House Ethics Committee said today that it has resumed consideration of whether U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. acted improperly in seeking appointment to the Senate in 2008.

The committee’s review of the Chicago Democrat was temporarily on hold as federal authorities prosecuted then-Gov. Rod Blagojevich.

Blagojevich is awaiting sentencing after being convicted on federal corruption charges, including his attempt to sell the Senate seat held by Barack Obama before his election to the White House. Prosecutors said Blagojevich angled to hand the Senate seat to Jackson in exchange for $1.5 million in donations promised by Jackson supporters. Jackson was not charged and has denied any wrongdoing."

Comment....I realize I put this on yesterday but I like Mr. Fire and Brimstone's son so much he deserves another chance to be exposed...
