Blago vs. Jackson - someone just commited perjury

[scandal 951]

Wed May 25

Under oath, U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. alleged Blagojevich did not appoint his wife, Ald. Sandi Jackson, to an Illinois Lottery post because Jackson refused to ante up a $25,000 campaign contribution. Jackson testified that in 2003, former Congressman Bill Lipinski approached Jackson and asked him to donate that amount to Blagojevich’s gubernatorial campaign.

“No chance,” Jackson said.

Six months later, Jackson described seeing Blagojevich again — after the then-governor appointed someone else to the Illinois Lottery.

“I walked in the room and there was a chill in the air. I could see in his face, he wasn’t going to be able to do anything for Sandi,” Jackson said. “The governor came up to me and said, ‘I’m sorry the thing with Sandi didn’t work out.’

Then Jackson dropped the kicker:

“In classic Elvis Presley fashion, he snapped his fingers and said, ‘You should have given me that $25,000,’ ’’ Jackson said.

Under oath, Blago opened with "I'm Rod Blagojevich, I used to be governor. I'm here to tell you the truth."

He later testified he had “absolutely no recollection of his [Jackson] talking to me, ever, ever of appointing his wife for the Illinois Lottery.”

Somebody just lied under oath on the stand in Federal court. I'm pretty sure I know which of them it was .....
