Boxes found — and mystery solved at Emanuel’s home(Surprise surprise!)

The mayoral-race mystery of where candidate Rahm Emanuel stored boxes of personal items has been solved.

Attorneys for Emanuel visited the house he owns in Ravenswood at 1:30 p.m. Thursday, located the much-discussed “crawl space,” looked inside and found the valuable items Emanuel had maintained he had stored there. They have argued the fact they left the items there while Emanuel went to Washington D.C. to work as President Obama’s chief of staff shows he always planned to return to Chicago — and therefore should be eligible to run for mayor.

Pic link below. I guess a few boxes of crap decides residency these days.....in Chicago at least.

Were there any pre-marked ballots in the “found” boxes?

What the hell is he doing with a NYT newspaper machine in a crawlspace(middle of pic)

[E. Pluribus Unum]

His poop is probably still in the sewer system too.

Would that prove residency?

[Danae]

Well hey, if you are grasping at straws, you will take just about anything right?

[ronnyquest]

I call shenanigans. Or bullshit.

[Danae]

Evidence of theft?

LOL

Thats one clean looking crawlspace..
Absence of spider webs quite strange...

[Baynative]

If I were moving away and planning to rent my home to someone I didn’t know, I’d be sure to put all of my personal records and valuables in the basement too.

[jrg]

I was thinking the same thing....cleanest crawlspace I've ever seen.
Hell, I'd live down there, it's cleaner than my house.

Do you suppose any Rose Law firm boxes are down there?

[dirtboy]

Yeah, no spider webs. No dust. Looks like all that stuff was put in there just last week.

[DManA]

Wait a minute. Doesn’t the fact that he stored stuff there prove he DIDN’T live there?

The fact that he planned to move back means that he moved away at some point.

So his argument is that he is a resident because he wanted to live there some day.

I am a resident of Hawaii.

[60Gunner]

I wonder how many votes they found.

[dalereed]

Boxes he forgot to take with him because they were hidden!

He rented the house so he couldn’t possivly have lived there.

What the hell is he doing with a NYT newspaper machine in a crawlspace ...

And there are unsold newspapers in it!

[ladyvet]

I’ve lived in several houses and cleaned more then I care to remember. NEVER saw a crawl space so clean.

[dirtboy]

The fourth pic in the slideshow shows horizontal surfaces and no dust after nearly two years. Can you say ‘staged?’ Sure you can.

OMG! LOL! This might mean he always intended to go back to New York to be a newspaper boy.
