Roland Burris: Not a Virgin in A Chicago Whorehouse

From research collected at Chicago: Crime Kind of Town (Many thanks Maggie F)

Connect the dots:

Loop Capital Markets — a big donor to Illinois politicians — secretly funneled money to a Philadelphia attorney to gain business with the city of Philadelphia, according to a federal indictment there.

FROM: http://209.85.173.132/search?q=cache:KwpyAfyGBk8J:therealbarackobama.wordpress.com/2008/10/20/ayers-and-obama-fixed-chicagos-schools-not-really/+Roland+Burris+%2B+Obama&hl=en&ct=clnk&cd=40&gl=us

Burris has gone on to receive over $1 million in no-bid, low-effort “consulting” contracts from Illinois State agencies under the Governor’s control as well as a $5000/month “retainer” from Loop Capital, headed by BHO homie Jim Reynolds.

FROM: http://www.barackbook.com/Profiles/JamesReynoldsJr.htm

“In 2003, James Reynolds, A Chicago Investment Banker Who Is A Member Of Obama’s National Finance Committee, Was Recorded On FBI Wiretaps Arranging What Prosecutors Said Was A “Sham’ Consulting Contract With A Woman They Called The “Paramour’ Of A Mayoral Adviser In Philadelphia. His Firm Later Won $300,000 Worth Of City Contracts.” (Ken Dilanian and Matt Kelley, “Fundraisers Linked To Corruption Cases,” USA Today, 10/16/08)

“Loop Was Awarded Two No-Bid Contracts Worth Nearly $300,000, According To A Later Indictment Of Philadelphia City Treasurer Corey Kemp. Reynolds Agreed To Pay $30,000 To A Shell Company Controlled By White’s Paramour, Janice Knight, According To Court Records. “I’ll Keep You Out Of It,’ Reynolds Told White In An April 2003 Conversation Recorded By The FBI.” (Ken Dilanian and Matt Kelley, “Fundraisers Linked To Corruption Cases,” USA Today, 10/16/08)

Craig Robinson is Barack Obama’s Brother-in-Law ... He worked in the 1990’s as a bond trader and became a vice president at Continental Bank for several years as well as vice president at Morgan Stanley Dean Witter. He was also a managing director and partner at Loop Capital Markets, a minority-owned boutique investment banking firm.

...This is not Burris’s first involvement with allegedly corrupt unions. While serving as attny. gen. in 1994, Burris was a character witness for Robert T. Simpson Jr., frmr. pres. of Intl. Bhd. of Teamsters (IBT) Local 743. In spite of that testimony, the fed. Independent Rev. Bd. (IRB) ruled that Simpson had allowed Donald Peters to continue his influence of the Chicago local after Peters had agreed to have nothing to do with the union. Peters was named as a defendant in the 1988 fed. racketeering lawsuit against the IBT.

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

FROM: http://illinoisissuesblog.blogspot.com/2009/01/burris-contracts-to-contributors.html

Monday, January 05, 2009 Burris’ contracts to contributors By Dana Heupel During Roland Burris’ first full fiscal year as Illinois attorney general, more than half of the money his office awarded for outside legal work went to campaign contributors, according to a book published by Illinois Issues magazine and the Springfield State Journal-Register.

In FY 1992, Burris’ office issued roughly $4 million in outside legal contracts to individuals and law firms, according to the book, Illinois For Sale, which was published in 1997. More than $2.25 million of that amount went to contributors to Burris’ campaign or to the main Democratic fundraising committee. None of the outside legal contracts were required to be put out for bids by competing law firms. Burris’ office was allowed to award the contracts without consideration over whether the state received the best price for the legal work. At the time, Burris’ office denied they were “pay to play” contracts.

Thanks. Good work.

You know, old Joe Kennedy originally made his money smuggling liquor with the Chicago mob. He kept those ties, and it was Mayor Daley (with LBJ) who stole the election for JFK. JFK and Bobbie both kept these connections with the Chicago Mafia (as we know from some of those Dallas conspiracy theories). So maybe Obama’s ties to Caroline go back further than we thought.

It will be interesting to see how well Obama’s Chicago Mafia and Hillary’s Dixie Mafia can work together.

Do you think any of this may come up in Blago's upcoming impeachment trial in the Illinois House?

Just wondering...

I think it was the NY mob, Frank Costello reputed to be his partner. Actually, I originally read that he had a certain territory and they the rest as “mutually” agreed upon.

Roland Burris is a thug clown making a mockery of the entire legislative process of the United States.

First and foremost, why would anyone of honor accept an obviously crooked nomination from a man under criminal charges? And then run around screaming racism when anyone points that out.

The fact that he has "history" was obvious to even those who didn't know his background, because you can easily connect the dots, starting with him accepting Blagojevich's tainted gift.

Joe Kennedy certainly had dealings with Frank Costello. But I think he did his liquor smuggling in Chicago. None of this is absolutely certain, and it never went to a court of law.

Here’s one article that suggests Chicago ties to Sam Giancana as well as NYC Mafia ties:

I know the tie to Giancana ran til his death, didn't know when it started. Whatever the liquor split, he certainly dealt with the bad guys.

My favorite story is that Giancana sent Roselli and another guy to talk to Joe about calling the boys off because they had helped him win the WVA primary and Chicago. Joe said he would talk to them when the family got together at Christmas. In the meantime Joe had the massive stroke and the conservation supposedly did not take place.

>>>It will be interesting to see how well Obama’s Chicago Mafia and Hillary’s Dixie Mafia can work together.

I believe they have been. Here is Clinton. Front and Center.

ACORN's People's Platform

But in Little Rock, Hillary Clinton joined the male-dominated Rose Law Firm. The decision, she wrote in her memoir, was partly economic, an effort to secure the family's finances while Bill Clinton pursued a career in politics.

Although she continued to do free legal work for some groups, her new career occasionally put her at odds with constituencies with whom she'd traditionally been aligned. In the late 1970s, a community group won a major victory with the passage of a Little Rock ballot measure regarding utility rates. The proposal aimed to make the rates more affordable by creating a fixed price for the first 400 kilowatt hours of consumption, so low-income customers could have power for their basic needs, said Wade Rathke, the founder of the Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now, the group behind the measure. The measure would have forced large utility users, such as businesses, to pay more.

She did FREE LEGAL WORK for Wade Rathke, start up of ACORN. ACORN Started in Little Rock.


Wade Rathke, Chief Community Organizer

Obama headed up Project Vote who hires Acorn to do voter registration work on its behalf Project Vote got the Clintons INTO the White House

Obama and Clintons aren't strangers at all.

Speaking of Kennedy's ...

(no link)

Our Sen. Kennedy?
Chicago Sun-Times (IL) - Sunday, December 14, 2008
Author: Michael Sneed, The Chicago Sun-Times
Tipsville . . .

Is Chris Kennedy , the son of the late, great U.S. Sen. Robert F. Kennedy, a possible entrant on the list to fill President elect Barack Obama’s Senate seat?

- To wit: Sneed hears Kennedy's name has been wafted into the inner circle of Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, who would be the guy who chooses Obama’s replacement if Gov. Blagojevich resigns.

- Quoth Dem politico Jay Doherty , a Kennedy confidant: “It would give Pat Quinn the answer to the puzzle before him if he becomes governor.”

- The upshot: Word is Kennedy, who is also the nephew of Sen. Ted Kennedy, a major Obama supporter, is likely to accept if asked.

- Hmmm: Wouldn't that be something: An offspring of the legendary Kennedy line as a senator from Illinois? Stay tuned.

The question WHO is unasked…either because the media are too much in the tank or are too intellectually slow to perceive. Again: WHO DO THE LEADERS…PRESUMABLY DALEY AND MADIGAN…PREFER ULTIMATELY AS THE NEXT SENATOR? Lisa Madigan? Maybe but maybe not. There is every reason to suppose that she and her poppa want her to be governor which is a far better position for future eminence. My good friend and City Club President Jay Doherty proposed Chris Kennedy earlier, the son of Bobby Kennedy and the highly regarded manager of the Merchandise Mart. The sudden burst of publicity for Caroline Kennedy in New York would argue that, paired with Chris and old Teddy, it would be more than a surfeit of Kennedys in the Senate. But Caroline seems to have nearly self-destructed.

The question continues: who do the ruling Illinois Dem leaders prefer for the next governor, Pat Quinn to name? Frankly (this is a personal view) as I know Chris Kennedy I don’t think from a purely liberal Democratic perspective it would be too bad (although we would agree on virtually nothing). But I suspect there is someone else in the wings-not Chris Kennedy, not Lisa-but someone else. WHO? That must explain why the furor over Rolland Burris, a very average man but certainly not the empty suit some anti-Blago Dems and their media camp-followers maintain.
