Jackson Jr. Stole $750K in Campaign Funds
What happened:
Prosecutors intend to recommend 46 to 57 months of prison time for the former congressman, along with a fine of between $10,000 and $100,000, Politico reports. As part of the deal, Jackson will admit to having conspired with his wife to illegally spend $750,000 in campaign money on such vagaries as fur coats, airplane tickets, a $43,000 Rolex watch, celebrity memorabilia, booze, cigars, and even groceries.And why we care.

OK . . . Let me see if I've got this straight. He spends the maximum sentence in prison. He is fined the maximum of $100,000. He stole $750,000. Subtract the fine and he still has $650,000. Divide that figure by 57 (months) and it adds up to $11,403.51 per month. Damn, not bad work if you can get it! Am I missing something here in my computation of American Justice?
