Convicted Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) is scheduled to receive $8,700 per month in government disability pay, as well as a partial federal pension of $45,000. That generous $8,700 in disability comes thanks to Jackson’s sudden development of a “mood disorder” as the federal government began looking to indict him. Jackson, who was sentenced to 2.5 years in prison, had no history of mental illness during his prior 17 years in Congress. Rev. Jesse Jackson has defended his son’s claims of mental illness, stating to the court, “This time a year ago I thought we may have lost him.”

He will need to pay off the other inmates so they do not dress him up in high heels and a thong...
Incarcerated for scamming his contributors.
Now shifting to scamming all the taxpayers courtesy of this sweet set-up!
How in the hell can he get disability in the first place and why so much?! SOB's
10:41 it's federal prison dummy
the sentence should negate any money due to come his way.
No wonder "they" don't care if they get caught.
i have a dream!!!
His disability (tax free) pay pisses me off. I now have a Mood Disorder. So, where do I apply for mine?
people that work for 40 years cant get anyplace close to that in disability. how the heck can this shyster do it?
I was going to respond but... what can anyone say?
So sad America.
Is he actually in a "prison", or the "country club". ??
The people around him (his family) knew he was ill for the whole time. This disorder does not strike without someone noting it. They knew that all this was going on. There is NO WAY they could not have known he is bi-polar. If he were medicated and living well possibly none of this would have happened. It might be his excuse now that he has been caught. His doctors (if he went) would know of this. Who did he get his meds from? His father would have known this was going on. It is horrible to be the parent of an adult with these types of disorders because from age 21 on there is nothing you can do but watch it unravel or report it to authorities. What parent wants to be put in that position. BUT.. having said that. Jesse Jackson knew there was a great risk because of his sons position in office and did nothing. I don't know what I would have done but I think I would have done something to stop him.
7:34-That was the other guy.I can't think of his name right off the bat,but it'll come to me.
7:50, This one can do it because he's got relatives working in the system. But I do think that the money should be cut off.
They know every way to scam the system, don't they.
He's not bipolar. He's just pulling a more sophisticated hustle then just your average brother.
What's amazing is that he was even elected. On second thought maybe not. The blacks have been electing losers for generations. Proof is in the cesspools the inner cities have become and the other social ills that follow their race. You can't fix stupid and until they themselves wise up they will have to continue to wallow in their disgusting neighborhoods.
