Five days after Jesse Jackson Jr. resigned from Congress, his wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, filed a series of amendments to her ward committee’s campaign fund, revealing dozens of previously undisclosed transactions that went back three years. That includes at least $13,000 in previously undisclosed transfers from her husband’s congressional account into her ward organization account, a Sun-Times review of campaign records show.
Among the undisclosed transactions shown in the amended reports were monthly transfers of $1,250 to his wife’s 7th Ward Independent Political Organization — or SWIPO. In a federal disclosure, Rep. Jackson’s campaign fund indicates a $1,250 payment to SWIPO is for rent — he and his wife share campaign office space on Chicago’s South Side.

Like a couple of cats covering Sheee!t in the litter box!
SWIPO is a good name for them.
Yes, IN THEIR HOUSE. They were paying themselves 15 grand a year from their campaign fund, to rent their own house.
How is this different than Rahm Emanuel exempting his home from taxes by listing it as the HQ of a nonprofit?
No difference. They’re BOTH crooks.
It seems so arbitrary that only some get to serve time while others never get “caught” for open fraud.
