Good show! I saw a chunk of that played on the news earlier.
Related. There was a Blind revealed at CDAN that says Rahm’s brother, Ari, is a big-deal agent and is trying to keep anyone from hiring Juicy Fruit.
I’m still scratching my head over Rahm’s anger at the Foxx/Smollett deal. I keep coming back around to one thing though. A deal was made and Rahm didn’t get his cut of the action.

Well, he’s got to be hiding something. Given his history, no one could believe he’s being sincere.
In my various readings on the subject, the entrenched powers in Chicago of Obama, Ayers, Farrakan, Rahm were supporting Preckwinkle.
Lightfoot earned the ire of the Pols when she investigated Blago for political corruption. The political scandal of Alderman Burke and then the Smollett outrage apparently played a part in boosting Lightfoot and defeating Preckwinkle.
The Obama’s did not appear to have consulted Rahm regarding the Smollett case, and totally embarrassed him in front of the entire nation. Rahm gets even-revenge is his middle name.
So two factions of the crime family are having a spat??? Maybe.
Here’s an excerpt and link for info on Lightfoot:
Lightfoot received her Bachelor of Arts in political science from University of Michigan in 1984, graduating with honors.[13] She worked seven jobs to afford her education, including working as a resident assistant. She also worked factory jobs at home during summers to help pay for her education...snip...
She was later hired by Mayor Richard M. Daley as deputy chief of the Chicago Department of Procurement Services.
There, she and her boss, Mary Dempsey, investigated Chicago corruption, drawing Mayor Daley’s ire in the process.
Lightfoot and Dempsey’s investigations included probes of then-Governor of Illinois Rod Blagojevich’s associate Tony Rezko and prominent Daley donor Elzie Higginbottom.
Lightfoot worked at the Department of Procurement Services for a few months, subsequently returning to Mayer Brown. Lightfoot suggested she left the Department of Procurement Services because of dismay at corruption in City Hall..snip..

In August 1999 extradition case, the Clinton Justice Dept. apparently tried to throw her under the bus-excerpt from opinion on appeal:
Because the motion was (and had to be) filed hurriedly, and Lightfoot had received misleading advice from her superiors concerning a novel situation that she had never before confronted, and because her record as a lawyer is otherwise unblemished, as attested by the glowing testimonials that we have received concerning her character and her professional competence and performance, we do not think a severe sanction, such as suspension or disbarment from the bar of this court, or a recommendation to Illinois’s Attorney Registration and Disciplinary Committee for disciplinary action, is warranted.
We are disposed instead to regard the episode as an isolated lapse deserving only of a reprimand.
We are more troubled by the attitudes and behavior of the Justice Department. ...snip...

Seems she is not a part of the Clinton Cabal??? She has a massive clean out to do if so.
