Gee, Another Coincidence
Never in a million years would we have expected this to happen:
- Former Gov. Rod Blagojevich has always maintained he wants the public to hear all of the undercover government recordings in his federal corruption case, and now maybe he'll get his wish.
Chicago police were looking into an early-morning burglary Friday at the South Side offices of his lawyers. Computers containing copies of the nearly 500 hours of recordings in the Blagojevich case and other sensitive evidence were stolen, sources said.
It was unclear whether the burglary was carried out by thieves knowing what they were after or was a smash-and-grab by criminals looking for cash or easy-to-move merchandise. But the burglars didn't appear to be terribly sophisticated, setting off an alarm about 4 a.m.
In Chicago? Illinois? Connected lawyers' offices? Who knows what else? Yeah, it's all legit.

I feel bad for the poor, lowly blue shirt that had to do the case report for this debacle.
Hello out there fellow gang and tactical warriors!
I only met Rod once. Since he knew me as a legendary tactical officer in Wicker park, he called me into his office and gave me a list of lote' vendors he wanted exterminated.
I thanked him for being a true honest American but had to explain to him about how my tactical Lt. at the time, was trying to get me dumped back on to the watch. The Lt. was out to ruin my career because he was jealous of all the arrests I made. Plus, I had fifteen lawsuits going on for brutality and I wrecked a undercover car while drunk.
Rod told me to quit crying as he closed and locked the door to his office. As he unbuttoned his shirt he said, "Just how bad do you really want to stay on tac?"
I'm not going to get into what happened in his office after that, because that's my business. The most important thing was that afterwords, some phone calls were made, and that loser Lt. got dumped to Mass Transit. Oh, and I locked up 50 vendors that week.
Anyway, take care out there fellow Delta Force warriors!
Come on, before Christmas, lotsa burgles...
small town cop
How's about this concept in the Crook Co.? Alderthing Hairston was screaming at the 3rd District Commander and A/2 Dets Commaner about too many burglaries in her ward. Sooo, what does the Dept do? Create all sorts of special burglary focus units for, not Area 2, not the 3rd District, BUT ONE BEAT IN HER WARD!! But wait, it gets better, THIS IS THE BEAT WHERE BLAGO'S BOTTOM FEEDING LAWYER'S OFFICE IS! The ranting by her was a week earlier, but seems way too coincidental to this paranoia filled brain. Looks like they were preparing their cover stories in advance. But, I could be way in left field....Nah! More hibbity jibbity of the 3rd District kind...
Shall we call it the "Blagogate" burglary!
Question---if the thieves were indeed just assholes off the street, and they have possession of all that material and they boot up and realize what they have and say they decide to post it all to you tube or distribute it on the internet, how would that impact the trial?
Or, maybe it was made to "look" like amateurs.
Interesting.
Yup... once the recordings surface on the internet he'll be able to claim he can't get a fair trial, or mistrial or something and he'll be running free once again.
My...My...My....there seems to be no end to the shenanigans with this case. But give credit where credit is due. A new principle is born. If you can't argue the facts, argue the law. If you can't argue either; steal the evidence and demand a change in venue! Priceless...
I'd lay odds that Team Blago staged this "break in" themselves.
"chicagogate"--- badboyabitch just can't seem to keep quiet and stay out of the media spotlight.... watch him make a run at dancing with the stars where he will do his beer barrel polka dance in a pink too too....
Great job to all those 009 district officer, citywide units, canine officers and detectives who helped find that baby. It sure was cold last night good thing this story had a happy ending too bad the criminals got away.
OT
Was Bobbie Rush the informant that gave up Mark Clark and Fred Hampton to the States Attorney's Office? Maybe he had hopes of becoming a bigger fish in the black panther pond (of scum). Inquiring minds want to know.
It would sure fit with his style now days. Blaming the police for all of the problems of the people, when most of it is their own damn fault.
Always keep a master copy or two!
Another wrinkle in the life of a criminal (and the lawyers that assist them in their dealings).
Two names are beginning to surface in the Mayoral race. Two men floating their balloons so far. OK, I'll start. Lets push Alderman Allen and Tom Dart into the race.
I know, same old thing. Please keep an open mind. They are not the established crime family. They seem like two decent guys, and they already have an organization in place. Let them run against each other and we will see who is better to serve us.
They are a far cry from the thieves we have in place. Where is all that money? Really, billions gone with out any accounting and no one going to jail yet.
It may be a small start, but it's a start. They are in the game already and getting them elected isn't some pipe dream, it's do-able.
SCC has become a force in this town. Let's use it and get these criminals out of office.
"12/05/2009 09:28:00 AM"
check your package, it's leaking.
SCC, Last night overtime checks were deposited into accounts with direct deposit. The credit union screwed up big! A few dollars deposited into my checking account, monies distributed into my savings, extra loan payments made and a few hundered dollars that vanished in this air. I called first thing this morning to be told that they know about it, they screwed up everyones accounts, but their "data processing" people won't be into till Monday. Basicly, a big FUCK YOU, your not getting your money until Monday. Like most of you here, I need that money for holiday shopping, my time off is limited and this fucks my entire days off to get those tasks done. I can not believe the Credit Union management will not call in their "data processing" people to get THEIR screw up fixed and hold our money hostage for 3 days! The credit union is supposed to work for us and now I feel like its managed by the FOP and the CEO is Daley. I have always been happy with the Credit Union, but this is beyond a minor inconvenience and the management should berated by the entire department!
They are probably at the storage facility where Chris Kelly committed suicide. Who would look there?
After several of our troops surrounding the "Blag-Bunker", were hit with what was thought to be pistol fire coming from inside, has turned out to be injuries from champagne corks. Much celebration going on inside, and perhaps a new final chapter to his autobiography, "Mein Coif."
Tom Allen was appointed to his aldermanic position by King Richard II
Lest not forget the County Bldg fire.
---not a cop
I can see from the Ultimate Tactical Warrior's post that he will soon move up to an exempt rank.
The man, legend, has mad skills.
I predict a quick "merit" promotion to Sergeant followed by a short stay as Commander of a quiet district.
Then a promotion to the renewed position of First Deputy Superintendent.
The only real question is did the UTW learn his skills in the 11th or 19th wards and is he the grandson of famous deceased Chicago Copper "Toots McGilligan O'Flaherty"?
Ultimate Tactical Warrior said
"...he unbuttoned his shirt he said, "Just how bad do you really want to stay on tac?"
Then one humiliating minute later, the ultimate wack warrior staggered out of the office, with sore cheeks, a silly grin, and a smirk of self satisfaction, knowing the wagon job in an unnamed area 3 district would always be his...and his alone !!!
The bigger the wagon, the more antiques the ultimate wack warrior could load up during his work hour shopping binges in 019 and 023 !!!
God this state and city are so corrupt!
Like, whoa dude. I was just, y'know, hoping to score a Playstation or Xbox. Something like that, man. These are some pretty retarded conversations somebody recorded. And, like, why does some black dude named Jackson keep screaming, "Show me the money!"
I dunno bro. I'm going back to stealing in St. Charles.
Don't forget to add a chapter on Kelly's alleged overdose. UFR
I LOVE A GOOD CONSPIRACY SAYS:
Mob gets promised BIG profits from Olympic investments through Scott and Daley.
Mob gets screwed by Scott and Daley, when Guaranteed OLYMPICS 2016 bid fails, due to Olympic Committee knowing about Chicago Corruption that will someday be revealed, and forever tarnish the reputation and credibility of the Olympics.
Mob sends message via Scott murder for payback warning. Mob experts in making murders look just like suicides do their professional contract killer jobs.
Daley, to avoid being next, steals Parking Meter Fund, to repay Mob.
Blagos place hit by Mob Burglars dispatched by Shortshanks, to get rid of incrimidating evidence on the entire Illinois Democ-rat Party, and the whole behind-the-scene Pay-to-Play Ponzie-Scheme of Illinois democrat government
Daley lives to steal again.
Floundering FEDS don't have a clue, or are in the corruption cabal too, and want their cut.
Obama 666 [winning Illinois Lottery numbers, 1st day after Obama wins Presidency] pulls the strings form D.C. via his butt-buddy Attorney General Eric Holder, having him hold off the few straight Feds left.
Little Daley stays in Moscow, laundering Daley's wire-transferred stolen taxpayer's money, and investing it via the Russian Mob, for Shortshanks and Company.
I Love a good conspiracy.

Did his son get an early relaese from prison when Quinn let a thousand convicts out early and is anyone keeping track of these parolees besides IDOC to see if they have been rearested.
Well you'll know for sure something is afoot when the burglars show up dead..... First rule of a covert op, kill the operatives after it's done, that way no one's around to spill the beans of who's really pulling the strings.
(ot) 40 years ago look at bobby rush! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=o1NAEgpQirw&feature=player_embedded
It might be wise to note they had backups of all the data. So even if this was an inside job, they didn't do a good job of it. LOL
Could be a run of the mill theft. Could be something else. Will be interesting to see what shakes out and whether any of the tapes see the light of day.
You never know. Might be some really interesting stuff there about other people that won't come out in court that could be released w/o affecting the trial any. Suppose someone in the know wanted to release a recording of someone talking about some dirty laundry regarding Daley or Obama. This could be how it gets into the public eye.
Despite the of the vocal minority that Sup Wies' policies are not working the stats show a dramatic drop in crime (http://www.wbbm780.com/Crime-rate-drops-in-November/5825841). Expect the sup to get a contract extension before feb.
Stay safe out there.
P.S.: It was a wamer November than last year. Cant use that as an excuse for the crime drop.
J-MOPE WILL RUN FOR Mayor. YOU HEARD IT HERE FIRST. ,,, AND IT WILL BE WITH SHORTY'S BLESSING.
Think about it, his criminalness needed a flunky that he can "own" in the white house, BOOM OBAMA, and now he needs one for city hall.No more heat or scrutiny but he runs it from behind the curtain. It's perfect,
-his own fuck up son is on the lamb sampling the eastern block's
booze and tuna tacos.
-J is the consumate suck up
-J does whatever he's told(fed style)
-daley owns J already
- J is the sound bite king
- J is the magician that single handedly wiped out crime in chigo.
- J is pals with lubberman (thats important)
-cops hate J and wont work for him
- J kind of was a cop kind of (but he never actually soiled his hands making a physical arrest)Paul Blart has more police experience.
-he's met the crime family already and is now a "made man" sponsored by the boss himself.
-J has managed to fool every citizen into thinking he can do more with less.
-J is a great judge of talent. Just look at his crack team of exempts!
Ok then he HAS the skills...I say we all vote WEIS because hell if he can make crime go away with his mere presence. He probably can make the city's money problems disappear as well.
And gosh darn it , people really like him.
Off Topic
I want to thank SCC for posting the address of Bill Cozzi on the main page of the blog.
I am asking everyone who reads this blog be a police officer, fire fighter, s/s employee , no matter what you do I am asking that we send Bill Cozzi a letter, a postcard, some type of correspondence letting him know that we will not forget about him and where he is at and that we have him in our thoughts.
I read one of his letters he sent to us in 025 and it ripped my heart out to hear the way he sounded. I dont need to go into detail , I am sure you all can imagine what he must be feeling.
I have known Bill a long time and worked with him a long time. He knows what he did was wrong and wishes he could have that 10 minutes back. But he cant and we must not let him down. We must not let him think for one moment he is not thought of. You see you, me, anyone of us could be the next Bill Cozzi especially with the way things are nowadays.
Please send Bill a hello. Please send Bill a christmas present. He likes to read Forbes magazines and chicago magazines. Word searches and puzzles are good too.
Let Bill know he is not forgotten.
Thanks for reading this and please reach out to Bill.
I wish everyone who reads this blog a very merry christmas and a happy and prosperous new year.
The feds did it. The FBI flipped Blago to rat out Daley (Richard). That is who they really want. Blago is just a chump. Now they can cut him a break without anyone noticing it.
OT. When it comes to FLSA, I want all my FLSA time back that the city took illegally. We need to sue the city and make them do an audit of everyone's time since FLSA came into effect and since they have been illegally taking our FLSA time first. Why is it certain timekeepers have hundreds of hours of FLSA time, but the real working police have none? If the city doesn't want to go back then reach a compromise and let us have our CU when we request. We could do the plan that they use in Milwaukee.
the 003 rd District is NOTHING but hibbity-bibbity bullshit and mass confusion, that will only be straightened out with a real 003 Commander. They had the guy, J.Franklin, but he wasn't an ass-kisser, to Weiss and Co, and was a REAL Cop, unlike them, therefore, again, political jealousy wins out, and the taxpayers get screwed, AGAIN. This department has turned into nothing but nickel and dime politics from top to bottom. Real Cops having to take orders from a bunch of overweight, fat political hacks, both male and female, and chicken-shit pencil-pushing college-kids, who have never even been involved in ONE domestic in the southside or west side high crime areas. What a disgusting joke.. CPD,, just another one of the many things that Mayor Richie Daley has destroyed..

Be serious. If Allen or Dart are elected, we have just elected someone from the same group of Chicago democratic political hacks, but with one difference. They are just younger than the criminal now occupying the office of the mayor. It would be nowhere near a fresh start. It would be just more of the same, except with a different face at the top.
It is a shame that David Hoffman is trying for the U.S. Senate. He is the one true, real breath of ethical fresh air and he is a democrat, for all you goofs that cannot resist voting democratic. Now that would have been REAL change on the 5th floor of City Hall.
In that case, who other than Hoffman could be a choice for true change? Forget it. There is nobody else. The democrats have a stranglehold on it all and there is no way to take it from them. They are like a parasitic, raging cancer that has invaded all systems of the body. There is no cure, but the unavoidable demise of the host. Welcome to Detroit 2, coming soon to the area around you, and it isn't a movie! It is reality.

Am i the only one or does anyone notice all the headlines for missing kids in Chicago latley, especially the last two days. Must be some PR work, what a waste,
You mean, " We cannot confirm or deny;;;" If it hits the net monday, repeat after me. mistrial mistrial mistrial or plead guilty to smoking within 15 ft of a lawyers office?
Pa lease!
OT: I looked at the tribune on line tonight and the first six stories are of missing kids. Knee-jerk reaction again.
Lets push Alderman Allen and Tom Dart into the race.
I know, same old thing. Please keep an open mind. They are not the established crime family.

Thank god 003 has a real DC coming, and its....
Cindy LANCE!!! Lt of Troubled Buildings
Limited patrol or street experience, long term house mouse, sock puppet of Masters and co, and friend and confidante of an politically impotent big boss. Lance, who Brust and co won't even let her run her own unit, is the finalist for 003 's command.
Putting her there will soften the legal ass kicking Weis, Brust, Dugan and Masters will be getting for forcing Silly Crump Hales to quit.
Congrats to Commander Lance and 003!!! She's just what 003 needs in terms of street leadership !!!

Why?
He was a power broker, he had a great-paying job, the mob was not looking for him for any reason, he was not conflicted about his sexuality, and, simply said, he had no KNOWN worries. Something big had to be coming down on him.
What was it?
Oh, puleese! Adam and Adam (or the high-line attorneys who rent space from them) didn't have shit-heads come to that trashy apartment for consultation? I love speculation, but this was just a plain old burglary.

*********************
Is that the same John Franklin that physically attacked 2 police officers in the 19th District station after his son was arrested with a pistol? Was he your juice? Did you have big plans for "merit" sergeant? Go back to crying into your bottle.
Was G. Gordon Liddy in town recently?
8:11, that is NOT the same Franklin. The one that got dumped from 3 (for doing a good job and not letting the alderscum run the district) is one of the few boss' that will not tell you to do something that he, himself wouldn't do. The dogs all hated him because he made them work. When he was the field lt. in 006, he would still work and when he came to back you up (or flew to your 10-1) you were sure glad to see him!!! And btw, he has daughters not sons, and knowing him if his kid got arrested, the a/o's would probably have to pull him off the kid.
It was Stuart Goldberg and his Ho Ex Law Clerk. The Bonnie and Clyde of Rush Street.
