Jacksons showed sense of 'greed and entitlement': prosecutor

WASHINGTON —

The federal prosecutor whose office sent Jesse Jackson Jr. and his wife, Sandi, to prison said Wednesday their crimes weren't "particularly sophisticated," left a long paper trail and showed a sense of "greed and entitlement."

Ronald Machen Jr., U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, said he's motivated to pursue public corruption cases because people without a fraction of the same opportunities in life as elected officials face "pretty severe sanctions" when they run afoul of the law.

"(Fighting) corruption is a priority throughout the Justice Department," he said. "It really strikes at the fabric of our democracy. And when people lose trust in our government, they lose trust in our entire system of government."

Machen spoke to the Tribune after a dramatic, 4 1/2-hour sentencing hearing for the Jacksons in federal court.

Prosecutors had sought a four-year sentence for Jackson. He got 2 1/2 years. They had wanted Sandi Jackson sentenced to 18 months. She got 12.

Nonetheless, Machen found the sentences fair, saying he knew defense counsel would argue for much less and often a middle ground is chosen. He wasn't in the courtroom, but got a stream of reports from his team, led by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Matt Graves and Michael Atkinson.

Typically, defendants can serve the last 10 percent of their terms in a halfway house or home detention, Machen said. He's well aware that defendants fear prison.

"Once those doors shut, it's an eerie feeling," he said, "Now imagine being there 2 1/2 years. I certainly wouldn't want to spend two days in prison, let alone 2 1/2 years. It does serve as a deterrent to others."

Machen's role is unique in the nation: As U.S. attorney for the District of Columbia, he must prosecute both local and federal crimes.

He said he's seen cases in which children lose their parents to wrongdoing — drug rings in which both parents get prison time, or domestic violence in which a man kills his wife and is sent away for years, thrusting children into the hands of protective services workers.

Children were an issue in Sandi Jackson's case because she pushed for probation, citing the care of the couple's 9-year-old son and 13-year-old daughter.

"Something that happens all the time in the blue-collar world may be a surprise in the white-collar world," Machen said.

On the subject of Jackson's mental health, Machen said prosecutors were never given detailed evidence to substantiate the former lawmaker's claims. He said it was clear Jackson had "some issues there," but noted that the misconduct lasted for years and much of it predated Jackson's stays at two treatment facilities in 2012.

As Machen has said, prosecutors did not begin investigating Jackson's use of campaign funds because of his involvement in the Senate seat scandal that sent Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to prison.

And only after looking at the congressman did investigators come upon the misdeeds of Sandi Jackson, then a Chicago alderman, he said.

Machen was tight-lipped about what triggered the probe of Jackson and whether an informant put the FBI and Internal Revenue Service on his trail.

"We generate our cases from a variety of sources," he said, adding that the large sum of money — about $750,000 — coupled with fairly unsophisticated schemes made this investigation easier than others involving shell companies and the furtive movement of money.

Six people identified in the conspiracy case against Jackson — named Person A through Person F in court documents — won't face charges "at this time," Machen said.

He also said that while the Jacksons accepted responsibility for their crimes and saved the government the burden of trials, they weren't "cooperative" in the way that matters most to prosecutors: giving investigators information about wrongdoing they didn't know about, whether it was their own or that of others.

"Jesse, from day one, wanted to accept responsibility and provide information, but it was information about his own conduct — and we had a lot of that information."

"Sandi accepted responsibility right away," he added.

Machen said he did not hear from the Rev. Jesse Jackson while prosecuting the case. "I imagine it's got to be pretty tough for him," Machen said. "I know he loves his son."

As serious as the prosecution was, the Jacksons' spending spree — featuring cashmere capes, a Michael Jackson fedora and an Eddie Van Halen guitar — did have its lighter moments.

So where, Machen was asked, are the two elk heads that Jackson bought? He suggested a reporter ask the U.S. Marshals Service and promptly added: "They're not in my office — I can tell you that."

Who Is Ishikawa, and When Did He End Up On Our Team?

The GoodOur pinch hitters came in swinging!  Overbay had a pinch hit homerun, and both Ichiro and Stewart got their hits as pinch hitters.  Pinch hitting is the way of the future.The BadA rain delay ended Phil Hughes chances of pitching deep into the game.  Warren pitched admirably in relief allowing 1 run over 3.2 innings, but that 1 run is far too many for this team.  Against this Royals team the Yankees mustered 1 run, on Overbay's pinch hit homer.  They lost 5-1.  It's really challenging to see the Yankees struggle so much to score runs.  The UglyThe Yankees picked up Travis Ishikawa, a left handed first baseman to play last night.  The move is baffling seeing as we already have a left handed first baseman on our roster in Lyle Overbay.  The Yankees strategy of building a winner by signing as many backup players as possible is interesting.  The quantity over quality approach may work well in some places, but it just isn't going to work here.Ishikawa Should Have Hit a HomerunOverbay did, and that's why he'll be our everyday left-handed first baseman.  That's $2 for the kiddos.Travis Hafner 12hr = $24Vernon Wells 10hr = $20Brett Gardner 7hr = $14Kevin Youkilis 2hr = $4Jayson Nix 2hr = $4Robinson Cano 20hr = $40 Ichiro Suzuki 5hr = $10 Lyle Overbay 10hr = $20Brennan Boesch 3hr = $6Francisco Cervelli 3hr = $6Chris Stewart 3hr = $6Ben Francisco 1hr = $2David Adams 2hr = $4Curtis Granderson 1hr = $2Mark Teixeira 3hr = $6Zoilo Almonte 1hr = $2Total 84 hrs = $168

Iron Man 3 - The Armors and a review

 Spoilers ahead!I loved Iron Man and Iron Man 2 FYI. I did come out of Iron Man 2 wishing they had more of Tony and Peppers relationship instead of them just coming together at the end. Whiplash was a cool character in concept and design but I think the filmmakers initial idea for Whiplash to go more compact and terroristic (See concept art by Ryan Mienerding that was revealed on the new box set with all the marvel movies) at the end of the movie was better than him build a big suit of armor and just have a big set of whips. But it did look cool at least and the suitcase armor was amazing with a cool armor-up process.from the art of Iron Man 2, taken by me, flash spot by my ignorance.So Iron Man 3 had me excited. I grew up watching the Iron Man cartoon so the Mandarin was a pretty familiar villain to me. I never really dug him that much and associate him with MODOK (can't we all agree he's a bad idea?) I don't know why mandarin was green...is that scurvy? I loved the Dark Knight feel that Shane Black's Iron Man script gave to the Mandarin. The Trevor moment made it even better for me and the moment near the end when Killian reveals that he IS the Mandarin is a sweet payout for fans. Also he can breathe fire. But only once for some reason. I hate when that happens to me! oh my.So the other twists were great too. The Maya double cross was great and the moment when Iron Man was hit by a car was confusing and a great moment for my brain to catch up with. The Extremis stuff was cool and the graphics were really excellent. I saw it on Imax 3d and the 3d was okay but it's definitely a trade off as you lose a lot of the detail you get from the digital format. I recommend seeing this movie at a drive in. Mostly for the sound quality you get. My paragraphs share no common theme.A wraparound of the mark 42 for toy design.The Mark 42 was an awesome running gag through the movie. What was shown to us in the trailers to be the ultimate suit of armor was just a messy prototype. When I told my Dad how Tony armors up with the mark 42 he rolled his eyes and I had to remind him it looks awesome so who cares. I think the concept was not a stretch for the Marvel Universe and really added some fun to the movie. Armoring up is my favorite part of the movie Iron Man and this movie had him going in and out of suits about 20 times. Seriously I think it was about that many. The finale had some great moments of him jumping in and out of suits and even just parts of the armor coming off. Concept art by Adi GranovMy only main complaints were Pepper in the finale (I don't know why. It just looked funny and was a weird idea for a newly Extremis'd person to beat the crap out of an experienced guy) and the under-powering of the armors in the finale. Some people say that they were all just prototype units, but I know they just did it to add some conflict and some cool explosions. And along with that they went and designed 35+ suits of armor and only showcased 5-6 of them. After the movie the first thing I did was try and find all the armors. Which was difficult. But I did it. Some dude scanned these in. Some are almost exactly the same as others but all in all I think they are great. I still can't figure out which one he was wearing in the finale when he was fighting on some scaffolding and had small vertical lights on both sides of his arc reactor. The Silver Centurion armor was one of my favorites.the heartbreaker armor-modeled after James Dean.The fight scenes were great. Every one. The fights without the armor or partially with the armor were maybe the best of the bunch too. My wife said, "Yeah right." Speaking of great the little kid was a fun addition and Tony's relationship with him was unexpected and fun. The movie had some great jokes and even some Downton Abbey which I addmittedly have watched. And other stuff happened in this movie. It was mostly good stuff. Let me know what you thought in the comments section! Enjoy the Marks 5-42! Scans from-http://forums.superherohype.com/showthread.php?t=455137&page=9I'm pretty sure they are from 'The Art of Iron Man 3' which comes out soon.

The Curious Case Of Mike Harmon And Jennifer Jo Cobb

Mike HarmonNASCAR driver Mike Harmon professed his innocence today, just hours after being arrested on felony larceny and breaking and entering charges related to the alleged theft of Jennifer Jo Cobb’s race transporter. Harmon was released on a $10,000 bond yesterday, and responded angrily to hithe charges against him, saying via Twitter, “I want it known that I have never stolen so much as a piece of bubble gum in my life. I did not take JJC hauler, there is no video of me anywhere near her shop. Today she was the windshield & I was the bug, but when we get in FEDERAL court in a couple wks there's a boulder coming."Cobb says the transporter – which along with its contents is worth more than $250,000 – was stolen Saturday from her team's race shop. Authorities issued warrants for both Harmon and a female companion, Sheila Rae Rice, for felony larceny and breaking and entering.Harmon formerly served as team manager for Cobb's NASCAR Nationwide Series team, but the relationship did not end amicably. Harmon has previously claimed that the hauler in question belongs to him, but failed in an effort to take possession in court.Cobb said via Facebook today, “I have not accused or alleged any person in this crime. Arrests have been made based on evidence and eye witness accounts.”Ironically, she and Harmon are parked next to each other in the Caping World Truck Series garage at Charlotte Motor Speedway this weekend. Cobb told MotorRacingNetwork.com reporter Dustin Long that she is uncomfortable racing against Harmon, and fears he may attempt to retaliate on the race track.Jennifer Jo Cobb“I absolutely feel in danger,” he said. “Absolutely. I’ve heard some of the things that he’s been saying to the media. I heard there was a quote about going for the jugular. What does that mean? If somebody is looking at a felony theft, what means would they go through? I’m uncomfortable.’’ Harmon told Long he has no intention of confronting Cobb at the speedway, or on the track. “It’s all legal,” he stressed. “I don’t like racing against females anyway, but I definitely am not going to wreck one. That will get you blasted forever. If I do, it will definitely not be on purpose.”Harmon’s arrest marks the latest in a series of legal disputes between Cobb and former or current business partners. Former JJC Racing partner David Novak filed federal charges earlier this year, alleging that he contributed more than $1 million in capital to the team, only to have Cobb transfer  nearly $250,000 from the team’s bank account into her personal account. He also alleged that Cobb broke into a warehouse and removed the transporter in question, without his consent. In February, U.S. District Court Judge Richard Voorhees denied Novak’s request for a preliminary injunction and temporary restraining order against Cobb, ordering her to return the trailer to him. The transporter remained in Cobb’s possession until Saturday night, when it was allegedly stolen. Harmon claims he was at Darlington Raceway last Saturday night, and can prove it. “You couldn’t drag me over there (to the JJC Racing),” said Harmon to MotorRacingNetwork.com. “I know she’s got a lot of animosity toward me because Dave (Novak) has helped me some this year and because I helped him retrieve his stuff. “She thinks it’s her stuff,” he said. “If you go to Wal-Mart, you’ve got to pay for the stuff before you leave before it’s yours. She did not pay for it.’’
