“Politically connected ex-Teamsters boss pleads guilty to extorting Chicago film studio, agrees to cooperate”

John Coli, aka J.Coli,brother of Edward Coli, aka E. Coli.
He has to leave....Mr Corleone is a man who insists on hearing bad news at once.
So now, lets take a look back at all of the DEFENDERS of this POS. The Politicians that appointed him to boards, the local big shots that praised his good works, the apologists that scattered flack.
They are as corrupt as this guy.
But once again, NOTHING will happen to any public figure.
Horseheads rule!
