Orders from the top. Cover up for the black poofter.
Cops could be throwing speculation rocks to see which dog barks the loudest.

The Hill to the rescue!
Chicago?

Rahm is not running.
He should change his name to Williams. He’s not in Italy anymore.
Sooooo... subtle. (good job!)
Fix could be in. The 2 Nigerians will take all the blame.
Make no mistake, this hoax is a major defeat for rhe progressives.. higher ups working overtime to clean up this mess

Rahm is backing Bill Daley - The $millions pouring into Chicago are going into the Daley campaign. The whole deal is more crooked than a cork screw.
Both were Obama’s Chiefs of Staff.
Aha.
Well, it will be interesting if Bill gets anywhere. He’s pretty old, and doesn’t have much personality. Smart, though.
And Preckwinkle... meh.
