Jackson Jr. Allegedly Misused Campaign Funds For Home Decor: Report
A new federal investigation into Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr.'s finances alleges the Illinois congressman misused campaign funds to redecorate the inside of his Washington D.C. home.
Three weeks before the election, the feds also are looking into whether Jackson Jr. used money from his House spending account to pay for the home decor, according to the Wall Street Journal.
The Jackson family briefly put the D.C. home on the market last month for $2.5 million. At the time, a family spokesman said they considered selling the home to pay for healthcare costs linked to Jackson's bi-polar disorder treatment.
Jackson Jr. went on medical leave from his political post in Chicago on June 10. Few details were released until his office confirmed in August Jackson had been receiving treated for depression.
This new probe is unrelated to allegations Jackson tried to cut a deal with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich to take now-President Barack Obama's former Senate seat. Those claims are under review by a House Ethics Committee.

This man is a pitiful excuse for a congress critter. The only reason that he is in the congress is due to daddy. Everything that I have read tells that he has serious mental issues. If he is an example of who is in congress then I can understand why we are where we are.
I cannot stand these families that THINK that there offspring must work off the people...they have entitlement jobs and we let them in. Done with the Bush's, Paul's, etc. Get a job already...not off the dime of the people but a real job...where daddy or mommy is not there to hold your hand.
Sick of all this crap.
