Raghuveer Nayak was long the insider who politicos leaned on for his deep pockets. He once picked up a $7,500 unpaid tab for a Rod Blagojevich fund-raiser, and more notably, paid to fly a “social acquaintance” of U.S. Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. across the country at Jackson’s request. Nayak would wine and dine politicians, at times held fund-raisers at his home and for years poured money into numerous politicians’ campaigns, from Barack Obama to Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to Gov. Pat Quinn. At last summer’s Blagojevich retrial, prosecutors had a distinct way to refer to the wealthy businessman: He was “the bribe guy,” who in 2008 allegedly offered millions of dollars to Rod Blagojevich’s brother in exchange for appointing Jackson Jr. (D-Ill) to Obama’s vacant Senate seat. On Wednesday, Nayak was in handcuffs, arrested by the FBI at his Oak Brook home on charges that he paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in kickbacks to doctors so they would refer patients to his surgical centers. He appeared in court looking a bit disheveled and weary after he was greeted by agents at his home at 7 a.m. U.S. Magistrate Judge Maria Valdez ordered Nayak released on a $10 million bond that’s secured by six properties he owns. For the last several years, Nayak had been the aching thorn in Jackson’s side after Blagojevich was heard on tape saying that Jackson’s emissary — Nayak — offered what Blagojevich believed was a $1.5 million offer in exchange for the Senate seat. But a Congressional ethics investigation still ongoing into Jackson cited Nayak by name when the panel found “probable cause to believe that Representative Jackson either directed … Raghuveer Nayak to offer to raise money for Governor Blagojevich in exchange for appointing Representative Jackson to the Senate seat … or had knowledge that Nayak would likely make such an offer. |

He knows they are close to arresting him so maybe he can get sympathy for having medical issues or coming clean about an addiction. It's a typical Democrat move............ |

Yep.....it won't work though and if Obama thinks it will get him a vote or two he'll roll over on Jackson too...My only question is did Jesse become an alcoholic before or after he bought his Senate seat?
