Links not updated yet, this was just announced on 97.1 Talk FM.

The Chief of Police and his assistant/deputy are in FBI Custody. There is to be a press confrence at 2:30 to announce the details.

All indications is that this is in regard to an investigation into Voter Fraud that began immediately after the November presidential election.

Great news. It won't change the election, but it's absolutely vital to punish this kind of flagrant fraud before the next election.

Demorats need to be taught that fraud will be punished. Even if they manage to get their candidate into office, they, personally, will go straight to jail without passing Go.

They have been getting more and more shameless, and we can no longer count on the media to expose them. They must learn to fear punishment.

I hope the FBI will look into Washington state as well, whether or not the lawsuits out there succeed.

Is that where Clark Griswold fell asleep at the wheel and careened down the ramp off the interstate only to wake up at the last second and avoid killing everyone? And then as he's getting directions from some locals on how to get back on the interstate, the rest of the gang is stripping their hubcaps and spray-painting "Honky Lips" on the side of the car...

Funny scene, it's too bad I can't stand Chevy Chase...

UPDATE:

http://www.ksdk.com/news/news_article.aspx?storyid=73713

http://www.stltoday.com/stltoday/news/stories.nsf/metroeast/story/A58729D50364D04386256F90006E4047?OpenDocument&Headline=East+St.+Louis+officials+indicted

The police chief of East St. Louis, along with his secretary and a former auxiliary police officer, were charged in federal indictments today with conspiracy to obstruct justice.

Also charged was Kelvin Ellis, director of regulatory affairs for East St. Louis. All were named in indictments unsealed today.

The indictments charge that Police Chief Ronald Matthews, along with Ayoub Qattoum, the former auxiliary officer, and Janerra Carson-Slaughter, Matthews' secretary, conspired to obstruct justice. Matthews is also charged with perjury before a grand jury. The indictment further alleges that Qattoum is a felon who illegally possessed a firearm and that those three defendants sought to obstruct an investigation into whether he possessed that firearm illegally.

Ellis is charged with seeking to have a federal witness discredited, and later killed, in a case involving alleged vote fraud. He is also charged with attempting to evade paying income tax.

All four defendants made court appearances today.

In announcing the indictments, U.S. Attorney Ronald J. Tenpas said:

"Public office is a public trust. The citizens of East St. Louis are entitled to public officials who respect and uphold the rule of law."

Jose A. Gonzalez of the criminal investigation division of the Internal Revenue Service added that "today's enforcement actions and indictments send a strong message that public corruption will not be tolerated and that no one is above the law."

Carl Sandberg called Chicago the city of broad shoulders. Guess that makes ESL a huge festering boil on Illinois' ass.

The State of Illinois will gladly swap East St. Louis to Missouri for Cape Girardeau or Hannibal.

That's why it's such an issue that they're voting in MO elections.

Nah, E St. Louis has ALWAYS been a bad place - gangsters, drugs, illicit alcohol, lots of gunfights.

Years ago I learned a long 19th c. ballad about an East St. Louis badman named Brady, who was shot in a barroom thereabouts.

Brady went to Hell, lookin' mighty curious.
Devil says, "Where ya from?" - "East St. Louis."
"Well take off your coat and step right this way,
'Cause I been expectin' you every day."

Brady, why didn't you run?
Brady, you shoulda run.
Brady, why didn't you run
When you seen Black Duncan with his Gatling gun?

Apparently they've gone from personal violence to obstruction of justice in the interim, though . . .

I remember when I lived in St. Louis the fun we had watching the news for the latest adventures of East St. Louis' then mayor, Carl Officer (he of the many armed bodyguards). That city's been messed up for a long, long while.
