No Testimony
Shortshanks and 20% of the City Council won't have to testify under oath:
A defense lawyer said today he won’t follow through on plans to call Mayor Daley to testify in the bribery case of Chicago developer Calvin Boender.
“We do not intend to call him,” Boender lawyer Robert Sanger said in court of Daley. “We will release him from the subpoena.”
Sanger also said he’s unlikely to try to get the testimony of 10 Chicago aldermen who had been subpoenaed.
The prosecution rested in the trial of Boender yesterday without calling convicted aldercreature Ike Carothers, who wore a wire and pled guilty himself earlier.
It sure seems unusual that in a trial about bribery, the prosecution would refuse to call the politician who was bribed, especially when the bribed politician is already under a guilty plea, wore a wire and has to verify what he taped.
Is this Carothers thing over before it even starts?

Wow this sound like the SOS debacle. All these indictments coming people flipping wearing wires then what happens? All plea deals for small time and everything goes away.
The fix was in before the trial even started. It is starting to look like the US Attorneys Office is under the control of Daley via Obama.
Attorney Robert Sanger must have gotten that suitcase full of $100's.
Money makes everything better.
I'm just wondering what 20% of the City Council won't have to testify. Oh, that's right. Probably the 20% of City Council that had their filthy fucking hands in this particular till in some capacity.
Carothers is going to keep his fat mouth shut, his brother will be rewarded with yet another meritorious bump towards the CPD upper-echelon, and it'll be business as usual the Chicago way.
Now get out there and generate some revenue for the city, all you ungrateful, bottom-feeding, non-clouted patrol officers. Daley needs to be reimbursed for that suitcase delivered to the office of one Robert Sanger, esq.
So Carrothers pleads guilty and falls on the sword while Daley and all the other crooks step over him.
Ike will do his (minimal) time, come out and slide right back into the gravy train.
Boender will also take a short vacation at Club Fed and come out and resume his dealings with the city.
They will probably get less time than Cozzi.
There is no hope for this place. Only thing that will clean up this mess is an angry mob with pitchforks.
Daley openly advocating ILLEGAL ALIENS:

One more reason to through your US CENSUS in the garbage.
CAN I GET AN EVENT NUMBER??????
"Is this Carothers thing over before it even starts?"
This was predicted here previously.
Business as usual in Crook County.
Yes, but a p.o. Would rot in the pen. Wtf ?
Come on now. No one really believes
that anything will ever happen to Daley with fellow chicago politician in the white house, do they? Obama learned the ways from Daley and he will never have the justice dept. investigate anything related to Daley. The chance is too great that something elese may be uncovered.
C'MON SCC, YOU KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN. RIGHT?
Once again the antichrist uses his evil powers to escape.
Makes you wonder, don't it?

They rushed to pull the Blago wire down before they got anybody important on it. Maybe they were getting too much on it.
This doesn't surprise me at all. Not here. Not in Chicago.
shortshanks will stay until he dies in office.

Yes we did. I saw it posted right here on another thread on SCC.
Somebody posted Daley will never testify.
Just like the Madoff trial, the Carothers investigation and trial is part of the cover-up.

DA FIX IZ IN.....
Wow, how much was the payoff??
Watch the first season of the Showtime series "Brotherhood" and you will see just how politicians, gangsters and law enforcement officials are all interwoven threads within the same blanket.
If these thieving aldermen can get away with all this bullshit and its never just one incident.Then at least look into the Cozzi Case and have him released with time served.
The Inside guy for the feds never has testified in open court!
The fix was in before the trial even started. It is starting to look like the US Attorneys Office is under the control of Daley via Obama.
--------------------------------
It should not be a bid surprise that Obama is going to make sure he is well protected from this situation. An actual investigation would almost certainly involve him in the dirty dealings. Not as if he is going to allow that.
