'If Mayor can't do it he must ask for Federal help!'

The first two set the stage for #3!
Strange, when I read the tweet I took it for just a comment, not a “blast”.
"Rahm was my fund-raiser, my top White House aide and a lobbyist for Goldman Sachs.....all at the same time."
Valerie Jarrett STILL Receives A $36K Annual Pension For Part-
Time Chicago Transit job---(does not include lucrative bonding deals)
dailycaller.com ^ | 2/17/2016 | Chuck Ross / FR Posted by rktman
Chicago is known for its L-train. But it's the gravy train that White House senior adviser Valerie Jarrett prefers to ride.
In addition to the $173,922 Jarrett earns per annum as President Obama's senior adviser, she is also paid an annual pension of $35,660 for the eight years she served as chairman of the Chicago Transit Authority, according to a Chicago Sun Times investigation.
Jarrett was appointed to chairman of the agency - a part-time position - in 1995 by then-mayor Richard Daley, whose brother, William Daley, served as Obama's chief of staff. Jarrett served as the former mayor's deputy chief of staff and was appointed to numerous other positions during his term. (Excerpt) Read more at dailycaller.com ...
======================================
Wonder how many transportation bonds were issued while Jarrett was at Chicago Transit? Her pension payout would pale against her hidden income from lucrative Chicago bond deals.
MAGA!
Yep.
Emanuel may be in violation,and subject to prosecution, under several other laws.
If his actions affect interstate commerce and trade, he could be prosecuted under the Hobbs Act. The Hobbs Act 18 U.S. Code § 1951, passed in 1946, is a federal law that prohibits robbery or extortion, or attempted robbery or extortion, that affects interstate or foreign commerce. The Act originally was designed to target racketeering in labor-management disputes that were common at the time.
More recently the Hobbs Act has been used to prosecute and jail politicians involved in activities that impair an area's economic viability.
PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKE NOTE:
The 1980 Georgia General Assembly was concerned about the increasing sophistication of various criminal elements in government, so it adopted the Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations Act (RICO), patterned after a similar federal law.
RICO is often used to try to prove that a legal business was being used for illegal means, and, in the beginning, was used to prosecute drug traffickers or organized crime members.
But in recent years prosecutors have applied RICO to government officials accused of using their offices for personal gain (at the time this involved various former and current Atlanta public school officials).
To bring a case under Georgias RICO law, there must be at least two underlying felonies such as fraud, bribery, witness tampering (among others).
RICO allows prosecutors to include multiple defendants charged with various crimes in the self-same indictment, and to charge that they were allegedly part of an ongoing criminal enterprise.
Good idea.
Hell no! The governor can call them out, no need to FedMobize them.
LOL! Missing the real point - it's a slam against Rahm and a forewarning about Rahm's promise to keep Chicago a sanctuary city and "keep illegals safe"...
Couldn't agree more - I believe you're reading too much into his comment.
the Department is racist;
if you do street stops, you must be racist;
if you don't prevent murders, you're racist
if you engage in any sort of proactive police work, it's only because you're racist;
any "self preservation" instinct that kicks in to prevent accusations of racism, is in fact racist;
racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist racist;
and don't you dare point out that 95% of the killings of minorities were perpetrated by minorities you racist;
Thank goodness we had our first "post racial" president to heal the divisions.
