The rumor when Lisa Madigan was selected was that she ran to protect her daddy.
When she announced she wasn't running for re-election, the rumors started flying that she couldn't protect her daddy without compromising herself and that's why she stepped down.
I was wondering…. If it’s a Republican you know it in the first breath. When it is a Democrat you have to research it.
You got that right!
I know
I’m shocked!
Shocked I tell ya!
American political struggle and government is played out in LAWFARE. Its why US Attorney General is the most important cabinet position of all. And why I consider the US DOJ America's KGB - it vets and approves everything, and if it doesn't, the FBI will take care of it. Trump barely survived 4 years because of his lack of control of DOJ.
As for Madigan, I agree - who better to protect you from Lawfare than one's own daughter.
For people in Chicago who follow politics, this is the all-time shocker. People bet millions that Madigan would never be caught. He controlled all of the building tax assessments and ran the law firm that appealed the taxes.
He stole $$$$$$$$Millions - whoever rolled on him better be in an under ground bunker.
As an Illinois resident my entire life I don’t care how old Madigan is. I’m glad to see that justice will prevail for this scumbag. And I hope he starts naming names of his fellow scumbags (I’m looking at you, union bosses). Maybe this will start the collapse of the IL Dem Party.
And let me the first to say, “Madigan didn’t kill himself.”
They said Illinois.
What more do you need?
Hope he gets shanked in prison.
“That’s the problem with politics today. Too many politicians are more busy racketing than working for the people. They should be serving the people and not a birdie . . . oh, we are not talking about tennis? . . . NEVER MIND!”

I only read the excerpt, but through magic I was able to intuit the political affiliation of the perp using only a pile of dried chicken bones
Who did he pi$$ off? All of these pols are racketeers. Why is he being singled out? Why not Lightfoot? There’s a corrupt racketeer if I ever saw one.
This could rope in most of the Illinois "Republicans" too
A LOT of people criminals are going to have trouble sleeping tonight
Hoped... but
never though I'd live to see the day

This is just scratching the surface.
Yep
I took a wild guess, given Illinois and all...
Good. Should have happened years ago. The guy is a punk; always has been.
Well he was indicted, but will he be convicted? Stay tuned…..
Michael Madigan is a Democratic hack politician who as Speaker of the House ruled the IL House with an iron fist. He basically was the true Governor of IL for years. Nothing moved without Madigan’s approval.
He is another very short man with a Napoleonic complex. A little Rat. I am so delighted that he might finally, belatedly, be getting his comeuppance. His wheeling dealing, always verging on crooked days are over. Too bad they didn’t bother to nail him a lot earlier, but now is better than never.
Hope he spends his retirement rotting in jail where he won’t be able to enjoy the monetary fruits of all his crooked political past labors, as most of that money will now be in the hands of the political hack lawyers he will have to hire to try to beat the rap. Will be following his case with great interest. I escaped IL after retiring, to the free state of FL. Best move I ever made.
Enjoy Florida and please keep us posted on this Rat. I share your joy in his downfall.
