Jesse Jackson's Newest Staffer Jesse Jackson's Newest Staffer,...and, You can't make up stuff better than this! Confirmed by snopes is none other than former Chicago Congressman Mel Reynolds to Rainbow/PUSH Coalition's payroll. Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute clemency forgiveness spree.
Reynolds received a commutation of his six-and-a-half-year federal sentence for 15 convictions of wire fraud, bank fraud, and lies to the Federal Election Commission. He is more notorious, however, for concurrently serving five years for sleeping with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who had sex with a subordinate......Then won clemency from a president who had sex with a subordinate.......Then was hired by a clergyman who had sex with a subordinate!
Oh, and Mel Reynolds' new job? Ready for this? YOUTH COUNSELOR. If anyone complains, Jesse Jackson will just call them a racist and incite minorities against the complainer.
