A First in American Politics
The "Right-Reverend" Jessie Jackson has added former Chicago democratic congressman Mel Reynolds to the Rainbow/Push Coalition's payroll.
Reynolds was among the 176 criminals excused in President Clinton's last-minute 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 being involved with an underage campaign volunteer.
This is a first in American politics: An ex-congressman who was involved with a subordinate, won clemency from a president who was involved with a subordinate then was hired by a clergyman who was involved with a subordinate.
His new job? Youth Counselor!
