Emanuel reverses course, now supports Justice probe of CPD
Chicago Sun-Times ^ | 12/4/15 | Fran Spielman

Mayor Rahm Emanuel on Thursday “welcomed” a U.S. Department of Justice investigation of “systemic issues embedded in” the Chicago Police Department and said, “I own the confusion” about his earlier opposition to the probe in the unrelenting uproar over the Laquan McDonald shooting video. Fran Earlier this week, Emanuel called the federal civil rights investigation requested by Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan “misguided.” But that was before Hillary Clinton, Emanuel’s candidate for president, sided with Madigan.

That’s apparently at least partially responsible for the mayor’s reversal. A conversation with Gov. Bruce Rauner, the mayor’s longtime friend, may also have played a role.

Of course "Dead Fish" welcomes a probe, as long as he comes out smelling like a rose. Maybe throw a few bones to the aldermen "representing" the Black neighborhoods and give the poverty pimps their "tributes" and it's all good.

There sure have been a lot of Hussein’s buddies back tracking their words this week.

Ms. Lynch has assured Rahm he’ll not be held accountable for anything.

Apparently Hillary wants the “investigation,” and when Hillary speaks, anyone who wants more of her money in the future jumps to obey.

It's all about more federalizing of local policing. Same as Baltimore.

English Translation: Emanuel has been assured by his friends in the Obama "Justice" Department that he will be cleared of any wrongdoing after a thorough whitewash investigation.

It took him a little time to arrange, but the fix is in.

He has what he needs to blackmail Obola, and he knew it.

It's adorable that he thought he had a choice. There is no honor among thieves.
