WASHINGTON (AP) — Former U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. has been charged with spending $750,000 in campaign funds on personal expenses. His wife was charged with filing false income tax forms.
Federal prosecutors filed a charge of conspiracy against the former congressman and charged his wife, Sandra, with one count of filing false joint federal income tax returns for the years 2006 through 2011.
In a statement, the former congressman says he offers no excuses for his conduct and fully accepts responsibility for the improper decisions and mistakes he has made.

Wonder which talking head, that usually pops up when something like this happens, will pull the "Race" card first? He is not any different from any of the other elected asshats that run the government.

His major mistake/crime is he got caught, with his hand in the cookie jar!

Obviously the prosecutors are racist, what other conclusion could you come to when they charge a black man for criminal activity?
