No Background Check = This
- Former Chicago Comptroller Amer Ahmad received a 15-year federal prison sentence Monday for his role in a bribery and money laundering scheme from his time as Ohio’s deputy treasurer.
Ahmad, 40, pleaded guilty nearly a year ago to participating in the kickback scheme that pre-dated his time as a top financial adviser to Mayor Rahm Emanuel. Ahmad fled to Pakistan and was arrested there in late April after officials said he tried to enter the country using a forged Mexican passport and a forged Pakistani visa.
Ahmad remains in Pakistani custody pending an extradition request from the U.S. government, federal officials said Monday.
Anyone ever discover where he got the fake travel documents after leaving Rahm's employ? Anything to the theory that the Machine greased the skids out of town?

when the french were telling their citizens to avoid the south side while visiting Chicago, Rahm came out immediately and held a press conference to hit back at the french and try and convince tourists and anyone who would listen that if you avoided the south side you would be "missing out on the best neighborhoods the city has to offer."
The U.N just released a report attacking the police in America and accusing in broad strokes all law enforcement in the U.S of torture...specifically naming the Chicago police as the biggest example of abusers and violators of human rights...
I'm waiting for a shred of decency on the part of this department to loudly respond and remind the public that Chicago residents, in spite of what nonsense they may hear or read, no one visiting Chicago, or living here, walks around in fear of being tortured by the Chicago police.
Now, as far as being robbed, shot, or otherwise violently attacked by a certain other segment of our society due to lack of manpower to provide adequate deterrence...
meanwhile police departments across the nation are being judged guilt by association
Former Philly Police Captain: Cops Are Mercenaries for Corporations
Antithesis of Marshal Dillon assigned to destroy opposition to the state
“It’s an oppressive organization now controlled by the one percent of corporate America. Corporate America is using police forces as their mercenaries,” Lewis said during a recent interview.
“In such divisive times it’s important for people to realize this isn’t a black vs. white issue, but a blue vs. everyone issue,” writes investigative journalist Jay Syrmopoulos. “When a former cop is willing to cross the ‘thin blue line’ in an attempt to help wake people up to the reality of the American police state, the least we can do is help him spread this important message by sharing his words of wisdom in hopes of awakening others.”
Mr. Lewis underscores the fact police have never served the public and are acting at the behest of fascist corporations and banks, the very institutions that have controlled the nation and ruled over its political system for decades.
“The American legal system is rooted in English common law, and the modern American policeman harkens back to English sheriffs, who were paid by and accountable to the government, not to the community,” writes Wendy McElroy. “The main purpose of the sheriff was to enforcement what were called ‘government decisions.’ Maintaining public order was also a concern, but ‘order’ was defined by the government.”
Government decisions are now made by transnational corporations and banks. This was admitted in 2009 by an exasperated Dick Durbin, the Senior Democrat senator from Illinois, when he said banks “frankly own the place” and are “the most powerful lobby on Capitol Hill.”
Banks used mercenary cops to wipe out a misguided and muddled Occupy movement when it went after Wall Street. Homeland Security, supposedly designed to combat an illusive terrorist threat, coordinated the government response that ultimately destroyed the movement. JP Morgan Chase, one of the largest bankster operations in the world, showed its gratitude when it donated $4.6 million to the New York police.
he goes on wrt ferguson

Don't ever underestimate political corruption in Chicago. Emanuel thoroughly vetted Amer Ahmad as an Ohio proponent of "the Chicago Way".
At the time, he didn't anticipate that Ahmad would be caught and prosecuted in Columbus.
More shadiness linked to rahm. Rahm shouldnt be reelected
I doubt the Paki's are going to give him back to us.
"Anything to the theory that the Machine greased the skids out of town"
Doubt it. If the machine was trying to get him out of town you would have never seen him again!
He must have had some sneaky, and well-paid, friends.
A forged Mexican passport? Sounds like the family work of a certain alderman.
Buy a gun, touch a gun, get a gun passed down from your grandfather, buy a bullet, rahm demands a background check. Hire someone who robs a city blind from money you have to pay or face a person with a gun who can put you in jail? No background check.
Criminals don't get background checks.
Does "Foto Muñoz" need a new travel agent?
Wasn't the family of one of our esteemed aldercreatures in the bogus documents business?
he tried to enter the country using a forged Mexican passport and a forged Pakistani visa.
Doesn't he get amnesty then??
The funny thing about the "background" check they made.
I was in Ohio at a police conferance just after he had been hired. A couple of the Ohio guys were talking about this guy and how kinky he was.
They thought he was dirty and were glad to be rid of him.
Maybe Rham should ask some regular people instead of his elite buddies.
I am supposed to be a Mercenary employed by the Fascist Mega Corporations and Multinational Mega Banks?? If that is true,I sure as hell ain't getting the Big Money like a Private Military Contractor! Cheap Bastards!!
Nothing written in infowars is worth repeating.
Not enough elected crooks aligned with the political class in Illinois to chose from. This Ahmad guy proved himself in Ohio by putting his PhD in Enron accounting into practice in Ohio. A talent search conducted by the personnel department found him “HIGHLY QUALIFIED” for demonstrating his ability to manage the books along with his proven track record to cut those checks as directed from on high and following generally accepted public money fraud principles.
The birds of a feather flock together. Hey Feds, how about a R.I.C.O. Conspiracy investigation into public finance money laundering day to day practices with this corrupt organization being the city hall cartel in association with organized crime kingpins in Springfield. Its not an accident this guy showed up a city hall’s doorstep and got that top job.
So....any stories that this guy was unlawful in Chicago, along with any cronies (pretty please).
--No Cop Here
Amer Ahmed was vetted by attorney Vincent Connelly of Mayer Brown. Mayer Brown represented Rahm in his residency fiasco and his firm was rewarded with a plethora of City business. Why are we still using this firm for City business?

Rhams got my Vote he is So Pro Police
R.I.C.O act guy I like your style.
If its good for the thugs is good for the scrubs!
Chicago scrubs that is, wink wink ;)
Low rent fake docs are no big deal. Have a friend in any Mexican neighborhood, you can get them.
In the era of wireless internet and computerized databases, they're usually worthless.
Passports, OTOH, are different. Its still awfully hard to fake one of those, but people still try with shitty ones and get caught, like we see here.

He should have picked one up from Poppy Munoz on his way out of town.
