Emanuel holds others accountable on police shooting video, not himself

Chicago Tribune ^ | November 24, 2015 | By John Kass

[Brad from Tennessee]

he mayor of Chicago talked a lot about accountability just before he released the police video showing Laquan McDonald gunned down by a cop.

But what of the mayor's accountability? He sat on the video for months. If voters had seen it, he wouldn't have been re-elected. So it all worked out for him.

And where is the accountability of African-American politicos and others like the Rev. Jesse Jackson, so loud now, pointing their fingers and organizing meetings and demanding accountability from others?

When it mattered, they were silent. They didn't demand that the video be released. Why?

Because this is Chicago and that's how it works.

"Jason Van Dyke's going to court," Emanuel said Tuesday of the officer charged earlier in the day with murder in the first degree.

"There will be a judgment and he'll be held accountable for his actions," the mayor said, in a thin voice that had a whiff of desperation in it. "There's also a judgment for all of us. At one level it's about him individually, but we as a city must also do certain things."

Like tell the truth?

For the DemRats its ‘Black Votes Matter’ only. Everything else Black is just a necessary BS meter for them.

The shame (if they could feel it) is twice that for black leaders who are in on the game of electing democrats everywhere and anytime. Government and politics in general has become one giant bribe machine.

Just like the Benghazi murders just before the November 2012 election for Obama.

Shameless

The essence of Chicago politics and Emmanuels soul laid out right here.

If Al Sharpton isn’t sniffing this, there’s no money in it. He’s the New York race baiter so there’s a low probability.

If voters had seen it, he wouldn't have been re-elected.

Does that mean a Republican (if any even ran) would have been elected? Hardly.

The Emanuel family. How many generations in this country? Not a day of military service; enough said.

Without an occasional white killing a black the scumedia and the parasitic politicians would not have the fuel they need for thier agenda.

Commentary's Noah Rothman wrote: It was particularly revealing when David Axelrod said that of all his accomplishments in Obamas White House, he was proudest that there hadnt been a major scandal.

(waiting for hysterical laughter to die down)

Much of official Washington nodded in agreement as know-nothng Axelrod patted himself on the back.

Of course, the administrations funny money lapses were duly reported.....as merely the peculiar obsessions of addlebrained conservatives.

============================================

BUT WAIT---THE major scandal yet to be examined is where braindead David Axelrod and the Chicago criminals in our WH got zillions of dollars to finance their self-serving interests.

This jerk Axe actually has a U of Chicago poly/sci dept named after him. Axelrod and the rest of the Chicago mob never have to work a day the rest of their lives.

Here's a clue WRT where they got the money.

Remember, these were the kingpins of Chicago criminal politics that occupied our WH. The stench from the Chicago sleaze permeated the putrid Capitol Hill air... starting w/ Obama's COS Rahm Emanuel.

================================================

THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD shortly after quitting his powerful WH job as Obama's COS, Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago. Then Rahm announced he had magically "raised" $30 million for his campaign in "just a matter of weeks." (waiting for hysterical laughter to die down).

Ya gotta wonder how much the cunning onetime Wall Streeter wired offshore when Obama put Rahm--in a dual role---as his COS....... AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.

================================================

BACKSTORY---THE KINGPINS OF CHICAGO CRIMINAL POLITICS IN OUR WH wasted no time.....they had a stranglehold on the Census, AND the US Treasury, from day one.

The minute Obama/Valerie/Rahm/Axelrod/Geithner, and that Practiced bunch of Chicago criminals, landed in the WH they did two things that were apparently crucial to their evil plans

(a) they took control of the US Census;

(b) Obama placed his COS Rahm Emanuel in control of the US Dept of the Treasury (cabinet-level agency oversees IRS).

THE SMOKING GUN---WSJ REPORT--On Jan 20, 2009 Timothy Geithner was appointed Obama's Secy of the Treasury. But within three weeks, the Obama White House tightened its grip on Treasury. Obama put his COS, Rahm Emanuel, in charge of Treasury---Rahm Emanuel's dual role was an unusual move.

When he got to Treasury, WH COS Rahm Emanuel was so involved in the inner workings of the Treasury that the phrase "Rahm wants it" had become an unofficial mantra among subservient govt staffers, prostrate in obeisance, scurrying to accede to Rahm's wishes, according to Treasury government officials.
