Rep. Jesse Jackson: I expect to be “vindicated” by an ethics investigation

[The Northerner]

Illinois congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. predicted over the weekend that he will be “vindicated” by an ethics investigation connected to ex-Governor Rod Blagojevich.

“Let me be clear. I believe in the American system of justice,” Jackson, a Democrat, said on Saturday at a Kankakee County NAACP dinner. “The process is continuing, but in the end I believe I will be vindicated.”

“I don’t know him. I never had a conversation with him and by definition, I never asked anybody to talk to him,” Mr. Jackson added. “I didn’t even know he existed until the trial. I don’t know him. I never met him.”

The House Ethics Committee announced earlier this month that it would resume a probe that began before Mr. Blagojevich’s trial.
