Developer Guilty
- A developer with ties to a number of Chicago politicians was convicted Thursday of bribing an alderman, propelling forward a federal investigation into how development works inside City Hall.
The jury found that Calvin Boender provided nearly $38,000 in home improvements in 2004 to then-Ald. Isaac "Ike" Carothers to earn Carothers' crucial support for a multimillion-dollar residential and commercial development.
[...] The jury, which deliberated for a day, found Boender guilty on all counts: one count of bribery, two counts of illegal campaign contributions and two counts of obstructing justice. He is free on $500,000 bail but will now be placed on electronic monitoring.
Congressman Luis Gutierrez was the recipient of a $200,000 loan from this guy. Anyone know if the note ever got paid off? And will Gutierrez face any investigation from his US House Committees?
Daley also met secretly with the feds in a downtown hotel during this investigation. And then there's the actual committee vote that altered the zoning.
But this whole thing looks like it may just die out.

this could be the start of something big I hope so
All of this over a remodeled kitchen or whatever? There has to be more illegal and unethical shit in the bigger picture going on than that....C'mon now.
Daley got the heads up from the Feds in 2008 that Ike was wired! So it's highly unlikely Daley said anything to catch himself up. It figures.
Amazingly a Federal bonanza investigation just dies out and fades into oblivion.
The real question is will the voters remember all of this next February?
Obama says spank them and move along!
All will walk with a scolding!
"Congressman Luis Gutierrez was the recipient of a $200,000 loan from this guy...And will Gutierrez face any investigation from his US House Committees?"
No, this POS just had a vision from the “messiah” and changed his vote on health care to a YES. He will not be investigated by any democRATS. All we can do is vote for Republicans, not the best option, but we got to do something.
And Obama will push amnesty for illegal aliens if Gutierrez votes for the healthcare bill. What does it matter if he's dirty? They should start charging these guys with treason.
I hppe 3/19/2010 12:17:00 AM is right.
'though, I suspect the "Investigation" and "Trial" is part of the cover-up ala the Eddie V and Madoff guilty pleas.
Buck Naked
(not a cop)
Obama took money from Tony Rezko to improve his house and he became president. Nobody is going after him. Ike should ask about this at a press conference while looking very puzzled.
Guiterrez changed his vote. There is talk that they are going to try to push amnesty through with the Slaughter rule also. They think this is how they got his vote changed.
Now someone is saying that the government should take over the public schools and nationalize them. Wow, can you imagine Arne Duncan with even more power over the schools?
They are going to have the student loans in with the Health Care Bill.
If the Cap and Trade goes through, the government will be in charge of almost our whole lives.
How quick can you get rid of a case like this, especially when the mayor was involved and that Gutierrez, another scum bag.
Pat Fitzgerald, PLEASE tell me you have a case on both of these phonies and are just waiting to build it and make it public...PLEASE.
SNITCHES GET STITCHES BEEOCH!!!!!!
This will all die down. Fuckbama won't let anything happen to king richie or these retarded fucking aldermen. It will just be another day in Chicago. The media doesn't give a flying fuck about the truth because king richie won't allow it. Investigative journalism is completely died unless it's a bunch of bleeding heart liberal journalism students looking to save some shit back from getting the needle.
With all the bullshit happening in chicago, one would think Patrick Fitzgerald would have a set of balls the size of bowling balls and nail these fuckers to the cross, but he won't. I hope to God this fucking city burns this summer and Daley gets what he has coming. Masters, Masters and Masters... Go fuck yourself Jody
I feel better

Dies like the Blago wire that got pulled early in the investigation. Why was that wire pulled so early?
The poster that brought up 'little louie' and immigration was right on target. The Dems are already talking about starting that next week. Right after they kill the economy with this health care bill.
It's amazing that the FEEBS couldn't flip BOENDER and had to settle with fatty Ike on the wire. What a tremendous waste of tax dollars!!
I just heard the TURBIN say the bill funds medical clinics that provide free health care to illegal aliens. These guys got to be voted out.

there's still the sentencing hearing.....
very anti-climatic, isn't anyone going to jail except the developer and de aldermans.
Little Maniac Latin Louie has recieved such loans throughout his political career as a matter of fact everyone knows that a certain Gang in the 014th Dist. funded his political career early on. Another puss is Ald. Maldonado who built his ghetto mansion on Albany/Wabansia what special zoning did he get to build that massive hut of shit in the middle of the ghetto, and then we have the other rap mogul ex-Latin King up North in the old Irving Neighborhood who built this massive castle overlooking the expressway, everyone knows his political connections and huge payoff's, on a good note the neighbor's in the area banded togather and fought this piece of work and city hall, the property is now on the market,like the shitbyrds say "the block got hot" when you sum it all togather City Hall is no better then any Gang in this city, they are crocks with suits who at any chance will line their pockets, they all know each other and share one common thing IT'S ALL ABOUT THE BENJAMINS!!!

Rep. Joe Wilson is not surprised...
Pat Fitzgerald, PLEASE tell me you have a case on both of these phonies and are just waiting to build it and make it public...PLEASE. Please stop calling the great Pat Fitzgerald for help.His tongue is up Osamas's ass to keep his spot.Nothing will happen to Daley,Gutierrez or any of the political cocksuckers.This country is pretty much dead.
What about Guitterez or how ever the fuck you spell his name.. He's real criminal.. He SOLICITED the MONEY. He SOLICITED the deal and he SOLICITED the land. We aren't as stupid as alderman C. We all know he was the bagman for Ald. C and CONTINUES to be the little pimp for all those (not so smart) alderpeople and well, let's face it, he'll pimp for anyone.
As planned.....Guys, this isn't hard to figure out.
1. Bush got pissed at the Daley's after Bill led the charge to steal the election for Gore in Florida.
2. Pete Fitzgerald and Bush bring Pat Fitzgerald here to rattle their cages.
3. They strike gold! Trouble is, it scares the shit out of the uber-wealthy in the city. They fear that Daley will be succeeded by a Mugabe-like figure with the predictable Detroit/Zimbabwe style consequences.
4. They bring Daley in and put him to work for the "G". Celebrates B-day with Bush at "Firehouse" restaurant in 2006 as a signal to the nervous Plutocracy and crony capitalists who run Chicago.
It's all a fix...prison is for Mexican drug mules, Aldermen, and cops. Oh yeah....asshole Governors too!
If you needed any further proof, the premature arrest of the throw away Blago should convince you.
Wake up People: Democaratic President, Democratic Mayor. Where do you think this is going to go? Same thing with the Congressman who will receive his gift from the President for his vote on the Health care bill and that gift is going to be, more assistance to illegals in this country. Oh, lets not forget King Ritchie getting more votes out of this and he can then get rid of the "Don't ask, don't tell."
& what the heck was up with shortshanks saying "thank G*D he was found guilty?"
if he even pretended to be a pious man the city wouldn't be in the shape it's in!!
Flaming Hypocrite!
not to worry shorty... the one you pledge allegiance to by you actions and words is stoking a special white-hot fire for you
