Michael Isikoff: Jesse Jackson Jr.'s Lawyers Try to Convince Feds Not to Indict Congressman Before Election

NBC News has this bombshell from veteran reporter Michael Isikoff:

The sources said it was unclear whether Jackson, who has not been seen in his office for months, would be charged before the November election — a subject that was discussed between Jackson’s lawyers and the prosecutors this week. Jackson’s lawyers urged the prosecutors not to file charges before the election — but prosecutors refused to make any commitments, the sources familiar with the meeting said.

No word yet from protector Eric Holder on this story.
