Meanwhile, in Rumorville

Now this would be an awesome development:
  • Rahm told his security detail to start making your calls to get into a unit, as I am leaving in August.

    And he just named Andrea Zopp as Deputy Mayor.

    Very very interesting!
Right before the national elections? If only....

Keep an eye on Rahm's detail people.

Do you really think Rahm would show his hand or show it to Security Detail?....doubt it. Hard to think of him being kind and giving a heads up to Police. Remember though, they have a code of silence.

Not sure what Zopp has to do with it. Steve Koch has been a Deputy Mayor for about 4 years now.

Don't anyone get your hopes up, unless Hillary decides that Rahm should be her VP. Boy that would be a feather in Chicago's hat. If so, President Rahm, in four years has a certain ring to it.

Don't forget to pack up that stuff you supposedly had in a box in some alleged closet in some house you call yours in Chicago before you leave. We wouldn't want that kind of stuff just laying around here.....

Someone said don't believe this because it's only a rumor.

Because it's Chicago, I would say "where there is smoke, there is fire."

My big question is, what are Zopp's qualifications?

Sounds like we're becoming more like Baltimore rather than Detroit. (Zopp and Foxx?)

We can't let that thing near the White House ever again.

Andrea Zopp, the Deputy Mayor, is not in the line of mayoral succession. It is a made up title. The actual Vice Mayor is a member of the City Council. Zopp is not an alderman.

If Rahm resigns, the Vice Mayor temporarily succeeds him until the City Council chooses a new mayor (remember Alderman David Orr replacing Harold Washington and, shortly thereafter being succeeded by Alderman Eugene Sawyer in 1987). Later, there would be a special election in which the voters would cast their ballots for a successor (last time out this process saw Richard M. Daley succeed Sawyer).

The only time this procedure was not followed was in 1933 when the Democratic legislature passed a law permitting the appointment of a new mayor (Edward Kelly) from outside of the City Council. In this power grab, the legislature also dispensed with the special election in order to block the presumed candidacy of Republican "Big Bill" Thompson. Kelly was permitted to complete the balance of Cermak's term and did not stand for election until 1935.

For Zopp to replace Rahm, she would either need to become an alderman (to become the interim mayor) or win a special election (to serve as the mayor for the balance of Emanuel's term). Since Hillary Clinton has been treating Rahm like poison, I do not see him advancing to an important position in her campaign.

If Hillary were stupid enough to select Emanuel, she would risk putting Illinois in play since the solid Democratic vote from Chicago would be greatly diminished.

It is a nice pipe dream, but it seems highly doubtful before November.

His overpaid valets would never be told, but they have ears and "hear things" an ambassadorship given by Barry is the bet big pay no press bet on that! Why does the mayors detail get sergeants/commanders pay the pay who cares but they get the pension at that extremely high payout rate. This is called "raiding the pension" just like fire did before, but now fire defeated that gold braid bill helping to shore up the fire pension somewhat less bleeding civil service rank only which for us is lieutenant hello Mike lappe Kenny hauser any comment?

Why would the mayor tell his guys to start making calls. He sends them where they want to go. Everyone from Daleys detail went to specialized units except the dog asses who went to districts who are now suing. Crybabies who get Sergeants pay. When I was in SOS we had dignitary details and we started to fill out slips for out of grade pay ad security specialists. Only 1 Sergeant had enough balls to defend us, thanks Sgt. Stas, he was told that we were not officially trained and he told the powers to be that none of the Mayors detail had proper training either. Well we did get the pay a few times because he signed the slips when he was acting W/C. Sure wish he was still around and not retired.

Could Hillary Help Repair Rahm’s Reputation?

Hillary Clinton is keeping her distance. But as Rahm Emanuel claws back into favor, she might be his best ally.

By Carol Felsenthal

Published April 12, 2016
The presidential campaign should have been fun this time for Rahm Emanuel—not like in 2008, when he quipped that he hid under the table while his friends Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton battled for the nomination. This time, he endorsed Clinton before she even officially announced her candidacy and, thanks to their decades-long friendship, was poised to be a star on the trail.

Come SCC. This is one of the most far out rumors I have heard and/or seen. Would Tiny Dancer REALLY GIVE NOTICE TO HIS DETAIL. Second crazy rumor, Tiny Dancer is going to be Hillary's VP. Look, that rumor is ALMOST AS PURPOSTERIOUS AS THE 1st rumor. The Republican's would have a field day with him as the VP candidate. Look how many scandals he has in his time in Office. How can he or she say that he is a proven problem solver? Really, Mr VP Candidate? How long were you the mayor of Chicago and many people have been killed or seriously wounded since you took office? Who have you appointed to various city positions and how many of your appointee's been indicted or have been found guilty of various crimes? (The comptroller and the School Chiefs) Can you explain to the electorate on why you with held the McDonald shooting video? You acknowledging the Police Code of Silence. Can you explain your thoughts about this code of silence? I have always felt that he was not the brightest bulb in the fixtures. He proved it by saying there was a code of silence within the Police Department. The two officers who blew the whistle on the 2nd District Tactical Team shaking down drug dealer just got a $2,000,000.00 USC settlement. the city just settle so that rahm would not have to testify. Now, every law suite that is or will be filed will charge the Officers of covering up due to the code of silence. If he was the VP candidate he would have to explain that, no getting around this issue. Again, he not that bright and Hillary if she is gets the nomination is going to have someone who is smart and can work with congress. rahm is not that person.

In the event of a mayoral vacancy the aldermen have to pick from themselves. So unless someone resigns and Zopp gets appointed alderman first she ain't going to be appointed mayor.

I'd say Valerie Jarrett, except her "senior adviser" thing, The Voice Behind The Curtain, already swings far more weight than any ceremonial VP. She likes it back there in the shadows. Unelected, with total influence and very little public accountability. Gets her a full Secret Service detail, too.

I see two likely versions of the "robbery" . . .

1) O'Rahma's kid tried to invest in some recreational pharmaceuticals and got jacked.

Or . . .

2) Maybe the kid tried to be enterprising in the rec pharma field (it's a growth industry . . . just like cancer) and got roughed up for muscling in on someone else's turf.


Hmmmm . . . Inquiring minds want to know!
