This video was taken just a few weeks ago. As you can see, he was on his deathbed, poor fellow.

Chicago politicians are usually tough guys who are accustomed to doing time in the Iron Bar Motel. I don’t think being sentenced to the big house would be enough to make one of them commit “suicide”.

I still believe the Kennedy’s had her killed, most likely Bobby.

I would guess there will be no real investigation. The depth of the corruption is astounding.

Agree.

Except, the Kennedy’s were so wonderful about honoring women though...weren’t they? Or am I mixing them up again with the Bush’s...

What a disgusting family the Kennedy’s were..from old Joe on down!

Back in the days of ClinToon we used to speak of the "Arkansas Dirt Bath" here at FR.........
Maybe we need to start using a new terminology......

"Chicago Dirt Bath".......

The body was found in a lumberyard right next to two HUGE Interstate highway exits (I-80 and I-57). Suicides use hotel rooms, not lumber yards (or National Parks, for that matter).

using his company's money to pay gambling debts and claiming it as a business expense

Could he have been entertaining clients? When does Rangel's sentence start?/s

So he was involved in the whole Chicago/Obama political scene, which raises the question, “Was this a case of Chicagoside (or maybe that should be Kenyaside)?”

As I said in another post, why does anyone think it suspicious that he committed suicide by shooting himself in the back of the head three times with his Thompson Contender?
