Feds Tell Springfield "Back Off"
- The top federal prosecutor in central Illinois today sent a reminder to state lawmakers on the eve of their hearing about Gov. Pat Quinn’s troubled anti-violence program: Stand down because a criminal investigation is in the works.
U.S. Attorney James Lewis, based in the central Illinois office a few blocks from the Capitol, made it clear that he wants a legislative panel to hold off 90 days before receiving testimony or conducting interviews of individuals connected with Quinn’s program, known officially as the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.
So are the state lawmakers interfering to protect their fellow legislators? Or to help Rauner? Or damage Quinn? And can we have this investigation wrapped up with indictments delivered before the election? Special Elections to fill offices formerly occupied by imprisoned officials are expensive.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I'm leaving ILLinois. Born and raised here, but over forty years of this communist shithole is quite enough. I'll just leave it to the wilding savages and enjoy a better life elsewhere. Perhaps in a state with a balanced budget like Indiana.
Bye, bye downtown dorothy brown, and her easy rider husband. JJJ will tell you how to do fed time.
Obviously Rahmie the Commie has personally ordered Eric Holder to thwart Quinn's attempts to stymie a real investigation.
Another reason I will skip the gubernatorial race and concentrate on electing Jim Oberweis. Can't vote for scum!
Wouldn't it be incredible if three straight Illinois governors went to prison?!
Off topic: could you please post the story about the news reporter who told he truth about the world. Media is often our enemy and one reporter tried to tell the truth and got fired. Officer was killed in trenton new jersey I think. Look it up on yahoo young rookie cop killed
Illinois is fucked either way, but Quinn might be the lesser of two terrible evils!
You can't trust the Feds. They are as crooked as anyone. They could be playing some sort of shallow game.
OT but worthy of note...The payday direct deposit payroll checks is not yet in my CU account. It has always showed up the day before. Now it is payday and as of 1Am no deposit yet? If it is not there in the morning, I dont go to work tomorrow (today)
Under mayor shortshanks the Direct Deposit arrived two days early for me like clockwork.
Is this cause for any concern???
This raises an interesting legal quandary for the Democrats. State's Rights vs. Federal Rights. We do live in a Federal Constitutional Republic and everything is spelled out in the US Constitution.
Enshrined rights can not be Apple picked!
Simple deductive reasoning. Quinn is Rahm's enemy. Rauner is Rahm's friend. Rahm has friends in the White House and Justice Dept. Rahm has few friends in Springfield. Quinn is toast. We are fu€ked.
At least before Quinn goes to prison his soon to be friends know he supports same sex marriage.
Any truth to this? The feds are sitting on some indictments against ceasefire members who used the state funds to set up an interstate trafficking network....
My entire single family home, tax paying, working class block is NOT voting for Rahm. Last election he received almost the entire blocks vote. 0% this time. The main reasons when I spoke to each neighbor. Crime, your destruction of the public schools and those famous revenue cameras. I really hope you understand you're a horrible human being for letting such a wonderful city turn into such a disaster. The only honest man on television who represents this city is Tom skilling. Yes the weatherman!!
I don't think quin is corrupt. He is not my favorite governor but he is the lessor of two evils.

why do you people use the credit union as your main bank?
I think you are all looking this the wrong way. Obama told Holder (who should be in jail too) to thwart the investigation until after the election. Democrats and Quinn know there in trouble, they don't need embarrassment right now. Here's my other theory...Vallas was brought back and thrown in the mix to run against Rahm when Quinn loses. Think about it...He'll say he left a bag of clothes in the basement of his house in Beverly to claim residency!!!
Old Retired Chicago Guy
and still no jail time for shortshanks,its all legit folks!
Here we go again? Rumors of indictments before the elections of Ryan and Blago, but no movement until after they were elected. If Quinn is about to go down we should be told now for those few, very few who are on the fence. And since Rauner is a RINO it matters little since both are really Democrats.
Clout driven federal investigation. Rauner to Rahm to Barack to Holder.
Put Quinn on trial already.
Eric Holder is playing some deep and dark games all over the country. Nothing that bodes well for the average citizen.

Be very concerned grasshopper you are living way above your means if you are looking for your pay on the 15th. Change your habits now or you will pay later. Bankruptcy is always an option.

My story aswell as my feelings I can't wait to get out its a shame I gotta go but no way I'm gonna stay here I have 6 more years and I'll have 20 and that's all I'm gonna give
Are you serious? Then do not go to work...it would be great to see the Watch Commander carry you AWOP. Just because it does not show up in your account per the automated voice recording at 1:00 AM does not mean it is not there. They are sometimes updated later in the night. Nothing better to do or do you live paycheck to paycheck like a shit head hillbilly. I am sure your money was there when you called in the morning...don't go to work that would be fun to wtch if I was the Lt when you called.
IMHO, the 'lawmakers'(LOL) should drop the hearing, those puppets aren't going to do anything meaningful against Potato-Head. At the first whiff of something criminal Madigan & Co. will get it buried, never to see the light of day.
Let the Feds run with the criminal investigation. At least there's a chance of someone winding up in the slammer that way: Quinn, 'Community Activists', gangbangers, etc. Hell maybe they'll catch an Alder-Creature or three in their web.
Plus they have that *nifty law* about 'Making false statements to a Federal Investigator', (18 U.S.C. § 1001), which always gets someone taking a trip to Club Fed. That's how they got Rod Blagojevich, Martha Stewart, Scooter Libby, Bernard Madoff, and Jeffrey Skilling.
Quinn can be Blago's cellie (rotflmao).

Seems the big banks get them as usual. Sounds more like a problem with the CU
Maybe, just maybe, Quinn will be the hat trick for Governor's going to Club Fed. Embarrassing, but awesome. That would make 5 of the last 8 IL Govs to hit the hoosegow
I don't trust either of them to get the job done correctly.
Potato Head is not going to jail, like him or not (which I can't stand him)he isn't aware or a participant in any shenanigans.
This will batter his image in the election though.
The state needs to monitor state cash grants very closely, much more then they have been doing, which is nothing. This has been going on for a long time and has benefited both parties, but primarily democrats. And, Lisa Madigan has done nothing. But, that is the reason her father put her in that office, is it not? Money flying out the window for phony job training programs and for things for private interests. i.e. Senator Donne Trotter ( security guard) getting almost 100 grand to build an elevator in his private club. Please stop all of this corruption before you consider raising taxes.And, yes, Father Phlager( I can never spell that name)got one million under this grant.

Appears you are making it a cause for concern. shortshanks has been gone for over 3 years and you are talking about his policies of getting the check 2 days early.
It will be there in the morning and not going to work will really solve the problem. You will either be carried without pay or have to use time, that doesn't make sense.
Just relax and worry about the important things.
Back off illinois we got this one covered UP.
When Obama is gone will the Feds finally look into rahm and his crew? Lock up forever the criminal enterprise known as Daley? What about the 50 part time sheep? Are they getting a large enough transport bus? Same bat time same bat channel stay tuned!
Feds are not legit. Just remember Blago and the dropped wiretap. Speaks volumes.
7/16/2014 01:04:00 AM I take it you live check to check or else you would not be acting like you are going to e sleeping on the street if you don't get paid
Quinn's Corrupt and discriminates in hiring. If you complain via Shakman, they just lujack your complaint to the Illinois State Police, so you know where thats gonna go, the Garbage Can. Just great, complain about hiring discrimination on the part of Quinn [State of illinois] and who do they assign it to to be investigated by ? Those same people who are under Quinns Control. Great System, State of Illinois Communists. Illinois is a Dog-Shit State. Avoid at ALL xosts. 100% + CORRUPT.
How's those make-up payments to the cities pensions going?
Oh wait look!!
FEDS TO OPEN $50 MILLION RESORT FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN – Complete With Tennis Courts, Sauna & Pools
Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 6:45 AM
Welcome to America!
The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.
The beautiful Palm Aire resort and hotel has an indoor Olympic sized pool and an outdoor pool. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included in the simply decorated guest rooms.
The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.
The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.
The Palm Aire includes tennis courts, a laundromat and a snack bar.
The plan is to have the hotel ready for illegal alien children ages 12 to 17 by October 1st of this year, a mere two-and-half months from now. It is expected the average stay will be about fifteen days.
The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.
check out the pics!

$17 TRILLION in debt and still spending.
Our tax dollars at work
These corrupt bastards in Spring-Patch are trying to muddy the water to obstruct the Feds vision...
They desperately want to convene this hearing as an end around the open meetings act?
Fact finding for criminal legislators to find out who said what to whom and when?
We hope the Feds hang everybody...
Or is the Atty General or a specially named Federal prosecutor worried the local investigation might either bring too much information to the table of not providing enough protection to the Federal end of the corruption? There are some close associates of the present regime in DC who are connected to the theft and misuse. Read some of the names they are looking to serve subpoenas on and BAM! The Feds jump in and try to slow the roll. Hmmmmmm.

The credit union sits on your funds. They make no excuses; they state they will not credit the account until the 'payment' date ON the first and ON the 16th.
My bank, a REAL bank, credits my account as soon as they receive the funds from the City. If it's a day early, it's credited a day early.
Get a real checking account at a real bank.

My Paycheck hasn't been deposited. i guess i won't pay my parking ticket. But the city will get it's money while fucking me over. I guess that's the latest tactic fucking with my pay.
There are a lot of scared people and folks. Father flakey spouting his shit for the chitlins. West side rev runs telling their flock that the man is coming for them and there is a judas amongst you. Gov Potatohead grasping at straws. get the popcorn and enjoy the show that is Ill-a-noise politics.

Lighten up Francis! If you are that desperate for the pay check, then something is wrong with your finances. Skip work and you are AWOL, suspended for a day. Lose a day's pay for a stupid protest. Daley fucked us numerous times and you praise him for quickly depositing pay checks? We might not have a pension in the future. Get a grip on life, kid.
Father Fleabag was in rare form on WGN-TV this morning, bitching about how he wasn't "...going to let this turn into a political circus", or some such nonsense.
He was cussing up a storm; plenty of "Hells" and "Who cares about the damn children?"
Turns out St. Sabina got some of this money, too
