CHICAGO, Illinois (CNN) -- U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. said Friday that he was fighting to get "my name back" after he was identified as "Senate Candidate 5" in a criminal complaint against Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. says neither he nor any emissaries offered favors in exchange for a Senate appointment.
Jackson, the son of famed civil rights leader Jesse Jackson and a six-term Democratic congressman from Chicago, had publicly sought to succeed President-elect Barack Obama in the U.S. Senate.
Jackson had talked to Blagojevich, the person with the sole power to make the appointment, on Monday, just one day before federal agents arrested the Illinois governor. Jackson said he only presented his credentials and polling information that suggests he could win re-election in 2010.
Jackson said he had fought corruption "since day one" but said he could not serve as Illinois senator until his name was cleared in the public eye.

Snicker!
He never had a name to give away in the first place.
How about “Shake-Down Junior??”
Should have taken care of that when he was 18.
If he was fighting corruption since day one, why hasn’t he taken a look at his father’s business dealings? Shaking down businesses is a lucrative business for Jesse Sr, and that is a part of the Jackson name.
“Senate Candidate 5” has a nice little ring to it”

Inmate 3240893 would be better...
Hey JJJ, how about we give a number instead of your name!
Talk to Daddy about that, he had it first.
Who’s your daddy?
Ask yo dadda Jackshhn or Barry. The raised you into the mess you’re in.
LOL!
LOL!
Reminds me of the guy who went to court bec he wanted to change his name.
Judge asked why?
Because my name is Joe Shithead.
Judge: OK. I understand. What do you want to change it to?
Bob Shithead.
Awwwwwww......f++& Off! Scum sucking blackmailing user loser, how is that for a name?
Jackson said he had fought corruption “since day one”, fought anyone who tried to cut him out of the deal more like it...
He could have had a wonderful career. From the leaks, it appears either he is guilty, or people want us to think that. Of course Senate seats are rare and worth a fortune. His dad skirts the law, IMO, and swhoul have been prosecuted countless times for extortion. Perhaps his dad taught him “morality.” Stupid kid.
Ok, you’re a low life again, Jackson.
*Your* name, loser? What in the hell have you EVER done to even have a name that the public would know, besides being born to a not-even-has-been-more-like-a-never-was shakedown artist?
Give me a physical break. I’m so sick of these half-arsed dynasties [see also: Caroline Kennedy] trying to dole out Senate seats like they were Lordships. Newsflash arseholes, we had a revolution to get RID of people like you. Don’t make us do it again.
Too late, dude. Didn’t they tell you, once it’s gone, it’s GONE!
He can always try Robinson. That is his daddy’s daddy’s name.
Maybe Jesse Jackson should change his name to Michael Jackson... : )
Sure! And you can keep it.
Matches up well with a certain client-9 we heard of in another matter.
I want the value of my life savings back ...triple J So when thieving leechs like you straighten up ...will talk
Good one.
Or, how about, "Daddy's inside track to the Federal Till?"
Yeah Robinson. Like Noah Robinson and Michelle Robinson Obama. All from the Friendfield Plantation, South Carolina area.
It was Labor Secretary (a useless job) Raymond Donovan who asked where one went to get his good name back. I don’t recall Jesse Louis Jackson, Sr., being concerned about that injustice in 1982.
This is a picture of the typical person of IL “upset” about “democracy” and the “meanness” out there.
Might as well play the race card now - it’s going to come out soon enough.
kinda like Client #5...
He's the son of Jesse HIJACKson. He has no name to GET back. His crook father has tainted him.
Where’s he’s going he won’t need a name....just a number.
We’ll hear for ourselves how involved you were Jesse, when they play the tapes.
I don't know why. That name was sullied by your father before you ever had it. I'd think you'd be glad to get rid of it.
Isn’t this the same Jackson son that was given an Anhauser-Busch distributorship after dad shook down the St. Louis Company?
We’ve barely begun sullying your name Junior. You can have it back in a few years. Or, you can just go by the name Himey Jackson in honor of your father.
The Methodology in criminal investigations procedure is that the lowest priority for interviews or interrogations are the actual targets or prime suspects of the investigation. Policy is generally to interview those persons of interest last.
It don't look good for you "Tripple J." 
"Interview not a priority
Jackson Jr. was to speak with federal investigators on Friday, but he said his interview has been pushed back.
"I've been informed that I'm not a priority interview," he said. "
