A powerful former Springfield lobbyist and close friend of House Speaker Michael Madigan once sought leniency for a state worker in a disciplinary case by arguing that the worker kept his mouth shut about an unspecified rape downstate.

 

In the previously undisclosed, 2012 email, ex-lobbyist Michael McClain urged two top aides to then-Gov. Pat Quinn to avoid firing the worker, also telling them the man was politically loyal to Quinn and stayed silent about ghost workers.

 

McClain and a former client, Commonwealth Edison, already are facing intense scrutiny from federal agents investigating the state-regulated power companys efforts to win rate increases and other favorable actions from Springfield.

 

The disclosure of the 2012 email -- which WBEZ obtained recently through an open-records request -- immediately prompted calls for an investigation from Gov. JB Pritzker and the top Republican in the Illinois House, who called the emails contents horrific.

It's possible the rape involved a Gov. Quinn early release felon who was later convicted of raping a 12 yr old girl. It is being surmised the silence was to protect Gov. Quinn from public backlash.

 

Protecting their own........

Sickening. These scumbags would sacrifice their own children if it gave them more power.
