Shit Just Got Real
- CHICAGO — FBI agents seized a trove of investigative documents, computers and files from legislative inspector general Faisal Khan’s office on Friday, its last day overseeing Chicago elected officials.
“We received a subpoena of the FBI to take custody of our files and our computers with the understanding [that] we are working with them on a number of investigations,” Khan told POLITICO on Sunday. “In order to protect the integrity of these cases, we had to take the extraordinary step to make sure they don’t end up in the wrong hands.”
Khan said some of the officials he investigated were “devoid of ethical morals and values.”
Well, no shit Sherlock....they're aldercreatures.
This would be a brilliant last "F#$% You" to the City Council if it pans out with a few indictments. In any event, there are more than a few aldercreatures walking around like they're trying not to drop a potato chip clenched in their backsides.

Problem is, the feds work for the boss fed who will store these files under his desk in his circular office until his term is up....
Check mwrd and pat daley
I believe they are scared but will the FBI know where to look? Will Kahn walk them through it? I certainly hope this wasn't out of desparation and a longshot allegation.
Someone in a previous thread brought up a great idea which is also cost cutting: one alderman per police district, office in CAPS office cut each alderman's operations budget and make the line item for rent allowance a $0. Heck, they have police at their disposal, cut their staff allowance line item and their phone allowance.

Heh!
Aldercrook digestive tracts have been bubbling like

>Bloop! Bubble! Blurp!<
"Mr. Alderman! The Eff-Bee-Eye is here!"

Decent, law abiding people have no concerns.
Serves you dirty thieving hypocrites right!
Your have to either under indictment, facing indictment, going or coming from federal prison to run in politics in the people's democratic republic of Chicago and cook county
I am shocked in disbelief, I tell you shocked. I just cannot believe that there are crooked and corrupt democrat politicians. The modern democrat party is the party of local and national integrity, the republicans are the real crooks. The democrat party stands with and fights for the little guy and oppressed minorities.
Please... Please.. Please!
Indict and convict Rahm and Shortshanks
Sounds very nice on paper.
Call me paranoid, but I'm not convinced these computers and documents aren't just going to waft into the ether without INTENSE scrutiny of some kind constantly monitoring both their whereabouts and whatever progress the FBI is making in its investigations of them. It's not as if corruption exists only at the local level. This is a test of the FBI's integrity as much as it is a test of that of the aldercreatures, in my humble (and paranoid) opinion.
And to ensure that doesn't happen, who will provide said scrutiny? The media? Does anyone really believe that the Sun-Times (to name one example) will be able to provide accurate, and more importantly, unbiased reports detailing said progress? So that the people of Chicago can see for themselves the level of shit that goes on behind the scenes at City Hall, revealed piece by piece on a day-to-day basis as the info in those files comes to light?
Worse still, the notoriously short memory of the Chicago electorate has long been one of the biggest reasons the Democratic machine has remained in power here (at least in some form) for years upon years upon years. If this is truly that big of a scoop, then it'll need to be constantly hammered home in order to make any kind of proper, lasting impression on the public. Again, can anyone truly envision the Sun-Times doing that? But it's the only way, if there's to be any hope that the preprogrammed voters of Chicago won't simply either forget about these documents and files (and whatever may be in them) in a week, or disregard them as yet another feeble attempt by the evil Republican conservative cabal to discredit their noble, selfless Democratic civic leaders...pardon me while I vomit for a moment...
OK, better now. ;) But even if the FBI actually does hand down indictments, what then? I wonder if any of the potential crimes thus revealed will be prosecuted at the federal level. More likely (I think), they'll be prosecuted at the state or (even worse) the county or city levels, since that's where they were committed...undoubtedly in front of loyal Democratic judges, many of whom are just as corrupt and/or incompetent as the aldercreatures themselves. Mild spankings at worst, I'm thinking.
Whatever's in those files needs to be something spectacularly earth-shattering if there's to be any positive change in Chicago as a result of the revelation of their content. Something so big--and far more importantly, something so legally unassailable--that even the most corrupt judge (or biased media creature) would HAVE to render a guilty verdict and levy a proper sentence or risk an angry public's lynching. Or would Chicagoans be angry even then? Would they not perhaps just shrug their shoulders, think "business as usual in the city of the big shoulders" yet again, and just blithely vote in even the worst miscreants' hand-picked successors to carry on the tradition of corruption when the next election rolls around...because by then they'll have forgotten all about it AGAIN???
Meaningful change? Criminal politicians gone permanently? The electorate shocked out of its ignorant stupor? Sorry, but to quote my biblical namesake, I'll believe it when I see it... :(
Please Lord....send the fires of hell to all of the ones we KNOW are thiefs....
And speaking of aldercreatures: Our lord popinjay, arrogant Ed Burke 14th. will introduce a resolution to reaffirm Chicago as a sanctuary city. Co-sponsors are Marty Quinn 13th. & Carlos Ramirez-Rosa 35th. Story in Michael Sneeds column.

Five terror suspects arrested, 2 dead in raid targeting Paris attack mastermind
Pardon my French but unlike here the Comments in French media seem to indicate that those people love their police. Apparently French lives matter.
Obama is still going there for that climate change conference.
Here is a take on what the Egyptians think of him...
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UXodRLLkth4&feature=youtu.be
OT --
While Barack Hussein Obama mocks us, saying "we're afraid of widows and orphans," police in a Paris suburb have raided another "no-go zone" apartment looking for "refugee" terrorists, resulting in another ferocious automatic-weapons gun battle echoing for blocks, with one female suspect blowing herself up with an explosive vest. Several officers have been injured, and one suspect may still be holed up.
Airliners are being blown out of the sky, hundreds of innocent people are being massacred by organized child rapists, dynamiters, and homicidal maniacs who respect no laws and no borders, and who keep telling us that they will "kill us, make concubines of our wives and slaves of our children and destroy all non-Islamic religious buildings, books, and artifacts."
They mean it, too. They're doing it in every area they control -- and posting videos of it all, showing them laughing and waving a Koran in one hand and an AK-47 in the other. The fighters who just re-took Sinjar found one mass grave of 78 unnecessary elderly women -- and there were other graves. The ancient World Heritage site of Palmyra has been bulldozed into rubble, and the expert curator of Iraq's antiquities murdered. Women who do not cover their faces properly are being flogged, and having their breasts torn with spiked boards, libraries and museums have been smashed up and burned, and people are being thrown off buildings and crucified and burned alive in cages and drowned and beheaded and run over by tanks.
THIS is what we're afraid of, you stupid asshole -- and the world is mocking YOU for your "unloaded gun."
As I write, CBS has a CIA analyst on the air, saying that "This country has got to go on a war footing. Now."
I would say that he's right.

'F*** you, you filthy white f****!' Black Lives Matter protesters scream epithets at white students studying in Dartmouth library
* The protesters, clad in black, entered the Baker-Berry Library on Thursday
* They chanted 'Black Lives Matter' and abused anyone who did not join in
* Around 150 people had reportedly gathered to peacefully demonstrate
* But soon, the protest descended into the verbal and physical abuse of white students and those who did not join in

Yeah, good move here, no Hillary-style "wiping the server" and then saying "At this point, how could it possibly matter any more?"
It's mind boggling how the ward map is made! It's not divided or evenly lined! It's more like a jigsaw puzzle some are even made like a maze! Can you imagine if there was a police station for every ward and that our beats where the precincts!! This city is a joke! We don't need 50 aldermen just like we don't need 50 police stations! Let's have an aldermen for every existing police station!!!!
Given that the wire on the Blago investigation was allegedly pulled down when certain politicians came up, I am not expecting much.
The one government agency that I have less faith in than the city council is the FBI. I expect to win the lottery (and actually get paid) before I see anyone from king barack's fiefdom indicted for anything. I hope to be surprised.
This is why SCC gets all of the keeses. I mention Captain Kirk one day and the next, there is his picture.
I have to sit down now. I think I am getting a case of the vapors.

What, are you going to phone Syria for a "background check?" The only "government" there is too busy kicking huge "barrel bombs" out of helicopters onto its own citizens in crowded marketplaces...
The situation is completely out of control, as our President smirks and laughs at us for "being afraid of widows and orphans."
THIS IS AN EMERGENCY, OF INTERNATIONAL SCALE. CLOSE THE BORDERS.
Yes! Yes! Yeeeesss!!!!!
Thank the Lord!!
Go! FBI! Go!

Just now -- radio news report on Somali "refugees" in Minnesota. Five are on trial and a dozen more under investigation for attempting to hook up with ISIS.
Others were "called back" from here to fight for Al-Shabaab. Interesting mechanism in operation -- that should not be in operation.
Some shrink says that "They don't feel at home here, and this sort of disaffection leads to the sort of radicalization that creates terrorists."
So. Another good reason A. for them not to come and B. for us to keep them out.

that explaines the low water pressure in my house. Fifty aldermen flushing their toliets throughout the day. Feds love investigations around the holidays.
Its about time ..the corruption in that city was enough to make me head south..
Go, feebs, go!

About fucking time. How long was that criminal enterprise known as the Chicago city council going to run unchecked? Why the hell did it take this long for the feds to finally do something here?

Transparency for all.
Maybe this is the reason why crazy Eddie Burke is in his friends sneeds column today welcoming the Syria invaders into Chicago! What a goofy idea! Maybe the Feds caught him with the others and he is playing for sympathy? Hey Eddie you have all that real estate your mansion and allow those condos right next door put them there Eddie practice what you preach!

When cops do wrong, Aldermen are quick to judge. Now lets see what u got hidden in the closet
Big Deal, I'm sure they will slither out of it...
I read posting such as this and it makes me appreciate where I live, Cheyenne, Wyoming. That is not to say we are totally free of corruption but what we call a corrupt politician would probably be awarded for his honesty in Chicago. We once had a State Senator that suggested, one of the few Democrats we let out of our Libtard reservations, an state income tax. He was gone on the next election. Nobody is sure what happened to him afterwards. I suppose his remains will be found by a hunting party in the Bridger Wilderness area in a few decades. ;^)
I am not joking when I say a Chicago cop could retire to Wyoming and become a town constable in one of our small communities. The worst you might have to put up with is teenage boy showing off loud pickup trucks on a Friday night, and when pulled over would crap their pants, not so much from scrutiny of tough big city cop, but in fear of what his parents are going to do to him when the constable calls his parents at home. And when you hear gun fire it's somebody plinking cans and bottles.
Good for this Khan guy. As far I can tell he is the only person with the balls to investigate everyone. The city punished him by leaving his department without funding to function. And then dumping him. Now he's sticking it right up their ass. He has some balls.
I don't know what else he's good at, but I would seriously vote for this guy if he ever ran for mayor. On the surface, he may be the only person in city hall that has some ethics. I hope he doesn't fuck up and bust my bubble by getting locked up for child porn, caught stealing, with a hooker, etc. Dude is almost too good to be true.
There has to be a job for this guy somewhere. Someone has to value his style. "Devoid of ethics." Fucking awesome. It's about time someone from within said it instead of the rest of us.
POLICE and FIRE pension boards should be next!!!
(1) >>>>> ' “Thirty aldermen over 40 years have gone to jail — this is the place where it’s most needed,” he (Khan) said. ' <<<<<
Hey! Knock it off Sparky!. Those are 'Chicago Values' you're talking about!! (rotfl)
(2) >>>>> “We are the third biggest metropolis in the country. I would describe to you that the oversight in Chicago is comparable to the Wild West — anything goes.” ' <<<<<
Dammit to hell. Stop picking on 'The Wild West'!!
Sheesh, first it was with Conceal Carry and now corrupt politicians. The fact of the matter is that generally speaking the 'Wild West' was safer than Chicago's West & South sides, and had less corruption that Chicago is so infamous for. The well known phrase; 'Chicago ain't ready for reform', wasn't made in goddamn jest.
Anywho, on that infamous corruption, the biggest laugh I ever got was when in 1997 one of Chicago's most famous 'Mr Clean' pols, the Holier Than Thou, Lawrence Bloom, was hauled away in fucking handcuffs!! The Feds had him on 14 Counts of corruption and they got him as part of Operation Silver Shovel. Here's a short article from the New York Times on the sanctimonious asshole: In Federal Indictment, Trust Is a Victim
as in the past; only the alderscum that have fallen out of favor will go down. A-scum like burke with emerge unscathe. Only in ChiRaq, folks.
And.... Nothing will happen
Hey FBI, How about checkjng out Illinois ex-Governor Pat Quinn selling State jobs with ISP; etc. for the personal gain of himself and the Democrat Party ?
What about the ex 19th Ward Official who sold CPD promotions for $$$, and/or political Quid-pro-quo favors, and the high-ranking Union Officials laundering Union / connected Politician's money and hiding it in out-of-town Real Estate investments to screw the IRS out of Tax Revenue ???
OT: a couple days ago i commented on another thread about the states with Governors who are not welcoming refugees. I welcomed comments, and was informed that we had nothing to worry about because Rauner was issueing a temporary ban on Syrian refugees. Well, today's city council meeting Ed Burke is expected to submit a Resolution to allow refugees into Chicago. Once a "Resolution" it is a streamline to becoming Municipal Code.
Btw, for those who commented about how one can't beat residency, well i've done my research, it's very possibleand there are at least 5 coppers with dual residences. You have to be careful and smart to where you out smart the system. Lots who have been caught in the past were their own worst enemies...as we often are.
it's about time, but....unless and until there's a Reublican in the White House, and an aggressive Republican Attorney General to lead the corruption investigations into Cook County and Chicago politics, nothing substantive will happen; but, if that were the case.....wow....the local Democratic machine could ultimately be dismantled
Khan for mayor!
It's too bad the feds are a political outfit too, just like the organizations they investigate, which is the reason they can't seem to "find" anything on the daleys, buries, or any connected figure. It's unfortunate they see themselves as high and mighty but they answer to the powers that be just like the rest of us.

How fucking dumb can people be to think that the politicians in Chicago would stand by and let someone police them, they are all ruthless thiefs and they need to be stopped. The Daley clan pilfered the balls off of Chicago and never got caught, then Burke comes along and that asshole thinks he cant be touched and so far he is doing a good job . Fuck Chicago
OT - here's an email I sent to my Alderman regarding the Syrian Refugees:
I would like to see both you and Rahm Emanuel take a public stand and denounce the importation of Syrian refugees.
While their plight is noteworthy, the safety and security of the American people must always remain our number one priority. Period. End. Of. Story.
You want to keep them in Europe and use American dollars to send humanitarian relief? No problem.
You should consider carefully that most of these refugees are Muslim, but yet none of the numerous Muslim countries in the Mid-East want to accept them either. Why is that? And why should we accept them when their own people will not?

Are you out of your mind? They would believe that they had total control over the police if this happened. It is bad enough that they call all the time with bullshit, but could you imagine them bringing every whining asshole client of theirs to the desk with their problem. Then they call YOU in off the street to handle it because it is on your beat. This is one of the most stupid ideas ever put forth. You want those aldermen and their people as far away from you as you can get them.
Cuthbert J. Twillie: Believe me, My family homesteaded in Wyoming in the 1870's "The Wildwest" was a fabrication of the "Dime Novel". Even during the Indian Wars it was more violent back east then it was in Wyoming. In the 1870's Chicago was very interesting to say the least.
Hey IDIOT ED BURKE how about u figure out why my pension isn't being funded and why my health insurance and dental insurance sucks not sanctuary for ILLEGALLYY in this country!!!!
I think there's a lot of tight sphincters and some Fedheimers raging through city council right now.
Lots of nervous stomachs.
Serves the holier than though, slimy bastards right.
There are friends and enemies of America. A corrupt aldercreature IS an enemy of America.
They won't touch any of them. The "investigations" will be "ongoing" until a time well after many of them are retired, or should I say leave their lucrative positions in order to spend more time with their families, and they run off wealthy, fat and greedy.

You still don't get it.
Using the most recent U.S. Census Bureau population data, Chicago WARDS must be of EQUAL population. Your one ward to a police district is mathematically impossible (with a quarter million residents, the 8th District alone would qualify as the second most populous city in Illinois). After meticulous research and per capita representation comparisons among the nation's other most populous cities, Chicago should have no more than SEVENTEEN (17) WARDS/ALDERMEN.
If you would like to read more about these FACTS, using quotation marks, Google SCC's "LESS ALDERCREATURES = LESS WASTE" thread which was posted a few years ago. The local MSM silence on these facts strongly indicate that the shameless Fourth Estate is in bed with City Hall Democrats to keep Chicago's "SHEEPle" electorate uninformed. It's "the Chicago Way".
Don't even get me started on TERM LIMITS and initiating binding RECALL referendums in this, the most corrupt major city in the nation. DemocRATic politicians would be committing political suicide.
P.S.: "Transmaster" from Cheyenne, WY at 9:47 AM:
I'm jealous. After Utah, Wyoming is the most anti-Democratic "RED" state in the nation.
dont forget the rotten corrupt 19th ward where all the police promotions seem go

If you think the DOJ and FBI are going to investigate public corruption in Chicago when they would rather indict policemen for staring cross-eyed at black thugs you are simply naive. As you join you're families this holiday season don't forget to give thanks to your parents and grandparents who elected democrats for the last fifty years. You deserve what you get.

The Chicago Police Department violated the state's Freedom of Information Act by refusing to release a video of a white police officer fatally shooting an African-American teen to a newspaper, according to a recent opinion from the Illinois Attorney General's Office.
The five-page ruling on Nov. 6 was made public one day before a Cook County judge is scheduled to decide whether to make public the police car dashboard video of Laquan McDonald's shooting.
City officials so far have declined to release the potentially inflammatory video, citing an ongoing federal grand jury probe into the shooting. No charges have been filed against the officer, identified by the Tribune as Jason Van Dyke.
The opinion stemmed from a open records request for the video first filed in May by Wall Street Journal reporter Zusha Elinson. The Chicago Police Department denied the request citing the sensitivity of the ongoing investigation and concern over a fair trial if charges result.
Beginning in March, the newspaper also filed a series of FOIA requests for the video to the police department, the city's law department and the Independent Police Review Authority, which investigates shootings that involve police officers. FOIA requests to all three agencies were denied.
After Elinson appealed the decision to Attorney General Lisa Madigan, her office asked police for a confidential copy of the video so it could make a determination on whether rules had been violated. Police refused to comply.

So here we have a 90% defect rate. A lousy airbag or toaster gets recalled for a lot less.

One of the things that came out of the Nuremburg trials is that Hitler didn't sign his name to any order directly related to the Holocaust. The same might be true here and it might be hard to nail down Daley and Rahm. Did Daley and Rahm personally ordered department heads to do dishonest any illegal acts or were they ordered by cutouts and buffers. Interviews by the feds and granting immunity may lead to Shortshanks and Rahm incarceration. We can only hope so.
I always said never trust a fed, but in this case I am praying for them.
Off Topic but Speaking of Shit Getting Real...
Has any other retired Chicago cop, or other city employee, who has gone from Blue Cross/Blue Shield P.P.O. to Medicare noticed that their last bills on the P.P.O. plan are not being paid? Is Rahm screwing with the retirees again? Maybe a department head here can blow the whistle.

Regarding Rauner, I know I didn't say it was all good because he said he'd refuse them. It just seemed to me his refusal was equivalent to Michigan's governor refusing refugees, which is what you were talking about and using as your rationale for leaving the state of Illinois.

We need a binding referendum on the ballot to reduce the number of aldermen to 12. That's all we need folks. With 50 aldermen we have 50 opportunities for graft and corruption. Each aldermanic office has a 2 million dollar budget. What a waste of tax dollars. Every so often they gerrymander the ward maps to get the "right" racial majority to favor the incumbent alderman, unless you are in disfavor, then they draw the ward boundaries to put the alderman at a disadvantage. Ask Alderman Sposato, he will tell you all about it. With 12 alderman you draw a grid with 12 boxes of equal population. All of the current aldermen can run in any box that is currently in their ward boundaries along with any challengers. The problem with my plan is getting a this on the ballot. The aldermen will never agree to this voluntarily. We would need to gather thousands of signatures to get this on the ballot.

So many worthwhile things to do in this world, yet the Middle East seems to produce as its specialty limitless numbers of young men with guns, constantly surging through the streets.
The great achievements of Islamic culture in mathematics, art, architecture, medicine, astronomy -- they named so many of the stars -- ended a long time ago, and Daesh has been blowing up what is left. It is a pity.
There are indeed disagreements between Israel and the Palestinians, but the divisions within the entire, greater Arab world itself are so profound that Israel could simply disappear tomorrow and I think that no one would even notice, so busy are they at endlessly killing each other -- Sunni vs. Shiite, etc.
This is an unfortunate situation that seems eternal and irreconcilable. I think, therefore, that we do not need to import it onto other continents as well.

Yes and no. I'm switching over to Medicare in two more weeks when I turn 65, and some recent claims under bcbs ppo have come pack unpaid. But here lies the real problem, and it affects everyone.
Certain procedures and tests must be approved thru Telligen before you undergo that procedure or test. Many hospitals and doctors will call Telligen first to get approval for you to have that procedure or test and to be assured that bcbs will pay the bill. Telligen gives the hospital and Doctor an authorization code which should be documented in your file. However, not every hospital of Doctor will do that, so its best that you as the patient always call Telligen first and get that authorization number yourself. Get a name too and document everything, because I guarantee you will need it later when you get a big bill from your hospital or Doctor saying that bcbs denied your claim.
And then you will call bcbs asking why they denied payment, and they will tell you that you did not have prior authorization from Telligen. You will tell them yes I did and here is the authorization code that Mary Smith from Telligen gave me. And the bcbs representative will tell you that she has to call Telligen herself to verify that authorization code.
It's Fkg insane. This has happened to me and my spouse often over past few years. It has become standard operating procedure in our house when another denied payment comes in the mail from bcbs. We pull out our self created medical notebook, and start making the phone calls. Thus far every hospital or Doctor we have has called Telligen first and got an authorization code, and as back up we call ourselves and get an authorization code. And every single time Bcbs denies payment telling us they did not receive an authorization code from Telligen. I ask the bcbs rep every single time 'why are you and Telligen not communicating with each other directly?' No one can answer that question.
Which leads me to believe that bcbs does this by design. Bcbs probably figures just deny the claim using the excuse of 'no authorization from Telligen', and let the hospital or Doctor send a big bill to us the patient, and since we are old and senile we will just pay the bill without question, thus saving bcbs money.
As always in Chicago, you must cover your ass and document everything and design yourself a big medical notebook with folders.

I'm the one who gave the simple answer of the clock resetting.
Odds are, you did everything by the book with regards to making your BCBC your secondary coverage by making all the necessary notifications and sending off the proper documents to the different departments. So did I. And though you don't indicate it in your post, my guess would be that you also know that Medicare begins on the 1st day of the month that you turn sixty five and not on your birthday.
I'm not going to address the whole Telligen part of your post. I agree with what you say but lucky for me, I have never had the issues that you apparently have had.
Maybe the original poster or you are experiencing the reverse problem that I had when switching over BCBS as my secondary insurer. I got myself released from the hospital on the last day of the month because I couldn't imagine the cluster fuck that would have happened if I was still in there on the 1st day of Medicare kicking in. Guess what? It was still a cluster fuck. It took three months for my primary policy to be changed to my secondary one even though I was johnny on the spot with having done everything right on my end. I didn't get my new card for three months and every bill had to be recalculated. No one anywhere could figure out how it went so wrong. So, don't despair;It will get sorted out.... eventually.
Mine did.
All's well that ends well.
Good luck.
If you think the DOJ and FBI are going to investigate public corruption in Chicago when they would rather indict policemen for staring cross-eyed at black thugs you are simply naive.
