As a matter of fact, I probably know quite a bit MORE "insider" political stuff than you do, so back off!
I'm only saying that Blago was set upon by Madigam and wee barry and many other DEMS and that the 14 year sentence was patently ridiculous and POLITICAL PUNISHMENT!
Was Blago also a crazed libturd? HELL YES, HE WAS!
But then so is every other damned Ill. DEM, most of whom were/are far MORE corrupt CRIMINALS than he; yet they NEVER get anything, when caught, more than a slap on the wrist...if that!
I don’t question your bonafides and am trying to figure out what...if anything...we disagree on. I know Chicago pretty well myself having grown up on the southside, working for the city two summers as a Lake Michigan life guard, a reserve policeman in a city bordering Chicago, and working in a federal law enforcement related career for 25 years 17 of which were in the loop. For the last 49 years I’ve lived in suburban Chicago and have followed the illannoy political scene VERY closely. So there. I agree that the federal and state criminal “justice” systems are hideous and can’t suck too much.
