Don't we all, it would almost make things worth it and maybe, hopefully, just maybe wake the voters in this state up. Doubtful on both counts, but one can always hope.

Nanook Posted June 27, 2019 at 02:13 PM Share Posted June 27, 2019 at 02:13 PM I think I'd rather see Madigan and Cullerton in orange jumpsuits than win the lottery. Not that I play the lottery, it's a tax on people who are bad at math. But the thought gives me "a shiver up my legs" ala Chris Mathews. LOL They belong in the IL gov wing at Terre Haute.

Jeffrey Posted June 27, 2019 at 02:33 PM Share Posted June 27, 2019 at 02:33 PM Too bad we can't hold current and former AG's accountable for any of the corruption they let slide on their watch. I'm gonna keep my hopes up that this is a very big hill with lots of dirt sliding down it and a former female AG gets lumped in with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you use Chrome, install this addon, go to page, and click to disable javascript, it works on I would say about 50% of the news site paygates. https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/quick-javascript-switcher/geddoclleiomckbhadiaipdggiiccfje?hl=en There are similar addons for other browsers or you can manually turn on/off javascript You can also try the time proven but annoying refresh page and as soon as the page pops but before the paygate pops press ESC repeatably, it's all about timing and it depends on how big of delay there is before the paygate pops up, some sites are easy others impossible using this method... You can also use this site just prepend the URL with https://outline.com/ it will bypass most paygates seemlessly but sometimes misses some content.

The IG for the last 16 years had a clear and obvious conflict of interest, kind moots the point doesn't it? And Kwame Raoul has conflict of interest all over him as well, until the IG is no longer a political cronie of those that need to be investigated (and lilkely woven into the crimes) I doubt we will seen any legitamate investigations form the IG. The only real hope lies in the Feds or a special investigator appointed by the courts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nanook Posted June 30, 2019 at 03:49 PM Share Posted June 30, 2019 at 03:49 PM Remember, ol' Kwame is "just getting started" according to his campaign ads.

Thats not The Chicago Way. Probably also from the fact that they'd be hard pressed to find a judge that wouldn't have to recuse themselves due to intimacy with the accused - and you know judges from surrounding states couldn't be bullied into exonerating the graft that would be revealed.

But he was ousted last year following sexual harassment allegations. Last month, the FBI raided Quinn’s West Beverly home, sources told the Tribune.Nasella’s account of what transpired in late 2015 emerged among new, never-before-seen depositions in a federal lawsuit that alleges Madigan pulled off one of Chicago politics’ oldest tricks: putting sham candidates on the ballot to confuse voters and siphon support from a more formidable foe.A separate set of depositions disclose that a Madigan precinct captain said a friend helped him collect voter signatures for one of the candidates running against the speaker. But it was the friend’s name that appeared on the paperwork, which made it more difficult to connect Madigan’s team to the candidate.Taken together, the new depositions shed additional light on the lawsuit’s allegations that Madigan and his political army conspired to place two phony candidates with Hispanic-sounding names in the race to draw votes from an ambitious Latino challenger and enhance the speaker’s already overwhelming chance of winning reelection.Madigan denies the allegations in the suit brought by failed 2016 candidate Jason Gonzales. Attorney Michael Kasper, who is representing Madigan’s political organization, declined to comment because the case is ongoing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
