I think this publication could be big trouble for ole JJ:



Shakedown: Exposing the Real Jesse Jackson, written by investigative reporter Kenneth Timmerman, is the new blockbuster expose on the man the media are afraid to touch. Shakedown offers the first ever objective accounting of Jesse Jackson's life and public behavior. Timmerman uncover's Jackson's massive extortion operation and how he used claims of "civil rights violations" to get big bucks from major companies for his own non-profits. Timmerman reveals Jackson, the wealthy millionaire and his plush lifestyle. Read the full story, including claims Jackson is not really a minister, used the Chicago mob to assist his efforts, how Democratic presidents like Jimmy Carter and Bill Clinton paid him off, his voracious appetite for women, and much, much more. This is an eye-opening book that will have America talking.


'Shakedown' Bombshell: Prosecutors Reviewing New Evidence Against Jackson

"Shakedown" author Kenneth Timmerman revealed Sunday that federal prosecutors have expressed interest in launching a new criminal probe into the business activities of America's most-celebrated civil rights leader, the Rev. Jesse Jackson.

Timmerman discussed the bombshell development during an interview with WABC Radio's Steve Malzberg as the talk host pressed him for details about his suggestion on Fox News Channel's "O'Reilly Factor" last week that Jackson could be indicted.

"I have spoken with prosecutors in several cities in America that would have jurisdiction over Jesse Jackson's activities," Timmerman told Malzberg. "And they were not aware of what he has been doing and they have not looked into it recently."

The investigative biographer left no doubt, in the following exchange, that the feds expressed interest in a new Jesse Jackson probe:

MALZBERG: None of these people you've spoken with have said to you, "Wow, sit back - something's going to happen." Or "I'm really going to do this." I mean, nobody has indicated that to you, have they?

TIMMERMAN: Well, um ... (laughs cryptically)

MALZBERG: Or have they?

TIMMERMAN: Let me put it this way. The prosecutors I have spoken to were surprised by some of this information. They found some of the information to be new. And there could be more to come on this.

(End of excerpt)

The author said that at a minimum, he expected a grand jury investigation of the civil rights leader.

"I think there will be an investigation," Timmerman said. "An indictment is something that has to come from a grand jury. ... I think there will be a grand jury, yes."

The prosecutors Timmerman talked to were from offices that had looked into past allegations against Jackson - previously unreported probes that the civil rights leader revealed in an interview for "Shakedown."

"Yes, we were persecuted by the IRS," Timmerman said Jackson told him, adding "The FBI was looking into us [too]. But we were never indicted."

The Jackson biographer cautioned that prosecutors would have to be willing to take the "political heat" to seek an indictment against Jackson, but noted, "I think the information that's in ['Shakedown'] is too coherent and there's too much of it to be ignored."

===========================================
Saw another brief which described JJ's claim that MLK died in his arms as total BS as Mr King died in the arms of another preacher. Funny how the media gives this clown as pass on the truth and major corporations are scared of his tactics which are empowered by the media - circle jerkin at its finest.

Too bad the majority of his followers would rather rap than read ...  :rolleyes:

Please understand, Jesse deserves whatever Jesse deserves. The above quote on the other hand is the sort of underhanded BS journalism that will allow Jesse to use this "Persecution" to his advantage. Nothing is quoted, no facts are given, its just a load of spin.
Well let me put it this way.....chuckle chuckle.....I'm not saying Timmerman is an illiterate fool, although some people I have talked to, feel that there is new evidence about him.
:rolleyes:
