Daley - Untouchable
When your father builds the political structure from the ground up and you continue the habit of granting favors and boons to the political class, it pays off down the road:
- Former Mayor Richard M. Daley isn’t going to have to testify in City Hall’s lawsuit to break a sweetheart contract the Park Grill restaurant awarded under Daley.
After reviewing affidavits on Daley’s medical condition behind closed doors, the Park Grill’s operators and lawyers agreed Wednesday to withdraw their subpoena to put the former mayor on the witness stand.
Park Grill operators Matthew O’Malley and James Horan had been relying on Daley to be their star witness to rebuff the lawsuit Mayor Rahm Emanuel filed in Cook County Court three years ago.
So no one will be held accountable for the millions, even billions squandered during the reign of Shortshanks. Teflon has nothing on this asshole.

"Daley’s medical condition"
Playing the feeble old man with a heart condition, unreal.
So frustrating. .Daly robbed chicago blind and most citizens still love him.
un real
Major Daley was a nationally famous major and state/national icon to the people. At this point it makes not difference what he did or did not do. What difference does it make? He is untouchable because he is a national political hero.
Maybe Park Grill was given a promise that they won't be held criminally accountable, only that they'll have to give up their lucrative criminal enterprise?
After all, shouldn't Rahm be able to spread around some of the stolen money to HIS friends?
I guess this town ain't ready for no reform yet.
Coming soon,The book Driving the Boss,It will give him a grabber.
Oh to be a fly on the wall in that judges chambers to hear what kind of a deal was made to, once again, totally disregard the rights of the people of Chicago!
Screw those taxpayers. Lord Daley must be protected at all costs!
And these Park Grill people... You mean that they didn't realize that they were getting the sweetheart deal to end all deals and that once the Daley crime family stopped covering up their tracks, that other people might take notice and say, "Hey, what's going on here?"
Would be nice if the feds would investigate the FREE MULTI-MILLION DOLLAR PENTHOUSE the developers of 130 N. Garland Court gave to Shortshanks.
what an inept city this is along with the county state and fed that they can't bring a notorious criminal into court and make him testify.........unreal.
We all know that Daley is the head of the Chicago Outfit.
Reviewed the medical records?!! In a pig's eye. It's time for the nuclear option. Vote out every sitting politician. It's the only way to be sure.
Just think his family can almost get away with murder!
His testimony would have been meaningless anyway. Anyone remember,his previous deposition testimony "I don't remember what I don't remember."
So it's official: Being a stuttering dumbass is legitimate medical condition.
Not defending him,but he has alzheimers.
Did anyone actually think for one second that a democratic judge like Judge Jacobius was going to rule against his own party?
On the bright side, maybe the criminal shortshanks has horrible medical problems.
Feds keeping Crime King Shorty off the stand?
He is a rat for the government what the fuck is going on no jail time for him or his family
Hey I feel sick too can they stop notifying me to go to court!
Remember when Obama ran for the Senate and his opponent's "Sealed" divorce records were leaked by the Tribune? Do you think that might happen here? Because this whole illness seems convenient and bogus. Just two weeks ago Daley was at a Mayors Conference in Texas, so how is he suddenly too sick to testify?
"The most transparent administration in history.". Oh wait, that's a different Chicago Democrat asshole.
What would Daley have said in testimony? "I don't know nuttin'."
Does this really surprise any of us?
So this old goof still work for a lawfirm and has a lawyer license but cannot testify!
May be the State bar should be notified that jittery Daley can't function anymore and is in a diminished state of mind.
Corrupt Judges suck!
Interesting. I just heard Daley's brother tell a report on Newsradio 78 "my brother is in good health. He's fine."
"Testify? I don't remember what I don't remember. You can scrutin' me all you want. Silly, dats silly."
The Daley Crime Family is Untouchable in Chicago. The last US Attorney made a lot of noise but then rolled over and let them scratch his belly. Now he's just another rich lawyer who didn't do his job.
Only daley's doctor will be responsible for anything. No government official, no person, no lawyer, no patient is responsible for anything...but the doctor is held responsible for everything. Just go to court and see it in action..
How's that Maggie Daley park going?
Just Us
Isn't this what old mobsters do? Feign some medical problem that affects the mind, walk around in slippers and talk gibberish?
"Most citizens", my ass. Most citizens I know think he was a corrupt, inept disaster as a mayor. History will not be kind to him. A special place in hell, indeed.
He suffers from alcohol induced, dementia.
Unfortunately, this does NOT surprize me.
He is a great man, the kind of man that is talked about in the history books for a hundred years. Some people are jealous of his many great achievements.
Daley deserves nothing less than public castration.

These corrupt bastards never cease to amaze me!
Here's a likely scenario:
The developers of 130 N Garland Ct probably needed all sorts of help with real estate tax considerations, zoning changes, permit fees and ordinance violations when they were in the planning stages so they offered the penthouse to Godfather Daley, rent free, after his retirement.
Daley greases the works, top to bottom, for the developers and is now reaping his reward, after the they wrote off the penthouse on the taxpayers as a business expense.
It's the Chicago way of conducting business, if you're a connected POS Daley crime family member!
Any investigation by the Feds will not be completed until Daley is deceased, then the results will be buried.
This is just one of the sweetheart deals that we know about.
No doubt, there are hundreds.
I talked with alderman Zalewski during a bingo tournament and he related that Daley is the best thing that happened in Chicago.
This shields him from future testimony on meigs, Olympics, parking meters, maggie park, burge, etc. Ron huberman testified at this hearing as a friend of the court.

How drunk can you be by 12:35am?
What is the pedigree of the judge ?
Dear Mayor Daley:
You may be able to escape justice here on earth. But will you escape justice when you are judged by God? For your actions? I have forgiven you for what you have done to our pensions. But when a man's life is over each person will be held accountable by God who is the real Judge.
Rat Rat and so is the family !
Meanwhile, all these new Federal LEO's assigned to Chicago will turn a blind eye to the Daley crime cartel.
Mubarak was hauled into court in Egypt when he claimed he was ill.
Daley should be as well, even if that crook needs to be pushed into the courtroom in a wheelchair.
Hopefully, he doesn't have too many days left. His stench is all over Chicago.
Fact 1
Mayor Jane Byrne is going to have something named after her.
Fact 2
Little Richie spent his years as dictator getting rid of just about everything with Mayor Byrne's name on it. He felt she took the Throne that he was Entitled to.
Fact 3
The City is in for a rough road financially do to the Billions Daley and his extended family and friends misappropriated, mishandled, or outright stole.
We won't get that money back.
Solution
Just to get back at him a little tiny bit, how about........
Changing the name of Millennium Park to Mayor Jane Byrne Park.
It's petty, but feels so right.
Ask George Ryan how being sick worked out for him!…Bullshit on Daley, get him in there and blow him apart!

If you remember there was a article in the Sun-Times or maybe Sneed where he walked into a restaurant and the morons there gave him a standing ovation.
Chicago has the dumbest voters in the USA, especially on the south side.
Daley is our Irish Teflon Don.
Come on, tell me you didn't see this coming.
If not Millennium, than Maggie Daley park should be named after Jane Byrne. She was the mayor at one time.Maggie Daley was a civilian.
The mayor will be back as soon as the green Jello cools off and hardens.
Maybe his friends in his sister country, Red China can send he a cooler full on Liver on ice.

Please have your meds checked....no way you can be that stupid.
"Daley's medical condition"
Isn't it just hungover, I'm sure he'll be able to testify in the afternoons or just dry him out.
I just hope when Daley finally dies that people line up in an orderly fashion to piss on his grave. Fuck him.
"...So no one will be held accountable for the millions, even billions squandered during the reign of Shortshanks."
— taxpayers are ultimately responsible for the debts, thus accountable when we don't pay the higher fees, fines and taxes to cover these losses. Yet they keep voting Democrats in. I'm beginning to think there's something fishy about how Chicago's ballots are counted.
Rahm will never allow the secret ledgers of City Hall to be examined per the request of Lord Shanks of Short.
Dump Rahm-2015.
The Judge doesn't want Daley shitting his diapers and stinking up the court room!!
I believe he mayor Daley has alzheimer's. just my opinion, but how many public speaking events have you seen him at since he left office? that would explain a LOT of dumb decisions towards the end of his term. Toll road? Parking meters? BIG X on runway? on and on. I think diminished capacity can be argued on many fronts by many people. that's what I think anyhow.
I saw the post about him having Alzheimers. Absolute bullshit,there is nothing wrong with him other than high blood pressure,like most portly old Irishman suffer from. This stinks to high heaven. He, like Whitey Bolger, sold out his criminal organization from the inside out to the Feds.
Civilian here.
This is not on the judge...he never had a chance to rule on whether Daley would be forced to testify. The attorneys met in the judge's chambers, they reviewed the medical records, and then O'Malley's attorneys withdrew their subpeona for Daley. If there's any deal, it's between O'Malley and Daley.
So Daley moves on - unscathed - yet again. And John Daley is banned from Grand Beach for the summer!
Another slap on the face for joe citizen.
in the words of SCC. what f'ing asshat.
isn't lying to the feds a crime?
oh, wait, it is daley no crime here.
What a shame, this Daley clan are the biggest thiefs ever, protected by the rest of the crooked politicians. This guy never did an honest days work, from the time he was the most incompetent States Attorney Cook County ever had. Now claiming that he is too sick to testify, just like all the pols who go to jail, all of a sudden they all get some type of Cancer or heart condition. Cook county is the worst ever, I don't even tell people that I live in Chicago.
He never had a stroke. He is a stroke!

The JUDGE never 'had a chance' to rule on it? You can't be the police; we're not that naïve.
Yes, revenge can be sweet and had. First put an end to that green asshat gov.potato head pat Quinn this Nov, then support Karen Lewis for mayor next year to get rid of that sick creature with bug eyes and a missing finger. Then we begin naming and renaming important places here in Chicago after a person who they hated because she was the first one to challenge the corrupt status quo. To start with, The Mayor Jane Byrne Interchange, so that we can hear her name every time there is a traffic report. Second,name the international terminal at Ohare The Mayor Jane Byrne International Terminal. Last, but not least, as another post suggested, rename Millenium Pk after Jane Byrne and make sure the ceremonial change takes place on short thanks birthday.

Yeah right, "nationally famous" or internationally infamous, "What difference does it make.." I didn't know Hillary Clinton posted on this blog.
Question: If Shortshanks is too sick to testify wouldn't he be too sick to work for that law firm that represents the Chicago Parking Meter company?
I bet he will still collect a check from them for as long as he lives. I'd like to question him about destroying Meiggs Field. Wasn't the real reason so that his pals could build high-rises in the glide path.
Just think his family can almost get away with murder!

ALMOST??!!! Look into the mysterious death of the mayoral frontrunner that put the original "Boss" in the Mayor's office.
To: 7/25/2014 01:44:00 AM
Stop with the Karen Lewis crap. She is a supporter of a cop killer!
There's a special place in hell for him.
They are waiting to get him on tax evasion just like Capone. I just hope he goes out the same way Capone did!
I applaud Mayor Daley. Daley did exactly what he was supposed to do. Idiots continued to reelect him because he's Irish,or from Bridgeport,or his father was a good man. Typical Chicago BS. Bottom line some folks believed it was just better to have a white man mayor of Chicago. I don't blame him one bit. Daley went by the only ordinances that mattered:nepotism and cronyism.

True. Traffic "accident."
Twenty years ago, I had the flu, but I still had to go to court. The charges were dropped, but I still had a hard time.
BTW, the first memorial for the Vietnam veterans was put up in Chicago. Daley tore it down because it had Jane Bryne's name on it. The replacement is hidden away, as if we are ashamed of these veterans.
I like the idea of Millium park named after Jane Byrne. We also have to rebuild Miegs Field.
