Bitter Clinger Posted August 10, 2020 at 09:03 PM Share Posted August 10, 2020 at 09:03 PM The suit also seeks to prevent Madigan from participating in legislative activities involving utility issues and to prevent the House Speaker from serving as the chairman of the Democratic Party of Illinois. Why don't they just put him in prison? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmagloo Posted August 10, 2020 at 09:06 PM Share Posted August 10, 2020 at 09:06 PM I think it's pretty clear, the Fed's have been working this entire case over the years, yes years, exactly by the book piece by piece to avoid letting this POS off the hook on a technicality.

Craigcr2 Posted August 10, 2020 at 10:38 PM Share Posted August 10, 2020 at 10:38 PM This is a civil case that has nothing to do with the US Attorney’s investigations. RICO has both civil and criminal enforcement. The civilCases are potentially lucrative (treble damages) and the burden of proof is only a preponderance of the evidence. I’m actually surprised that it took this long for someone to file it. ComEd has already admitted to criminal conduct, the only thing left to prove is that there were damages from the criminal enterprise. Madigan will be a tougher defendant. I would expect him to file a motion seeking a continuance until the conclusion of any pending criminal investigations or cases. He’ll probably get the continuance because the rule of civil procedure seek to avoid biasing criminal cases. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
