🤔 Ex-Rep. Aaron Schock Cleared, But Ex-Rep. Jesse Jackson, Jr. Got 30 Months For The Same Crime

Former Illinois Rep. Aaron Schock was officially cleared of criminal charges alleging he used his campaign funds for private purposes. This comes six months after he struck a rare deal with prosecutors.

Former Illinois Congressman Jesse Jackson, Jr. who was accused of committing the same crime as Schock was convicted and sentenced to 30 months in jail.

During Wednesday's edition of #RolandMartinUnfiltered, Roland and his panel of guests discussed what looks like a huge disparity in how Schock's and Jackson's cases were adjudicated. ▶️ #PressPlay to watch this heated discussion.
