Political Time Bomb
How many people know this was wending it's way through the courts?
Probably no one, since the Chicago media is too busy sucking Rahm's ass:
Probably no one, since the Chicago media is too busy sucking Rahm's ass:
- Judicial Watch announced a hearing will be held on August 21, 2017, regarding an Illinois Freedom of Information Act (FOIA) lawsuit filed against Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel and the Office of the Mayor seeking “all records of communications” concerning the police dash cam videos of the October 2014 shooting of Laquan McDonald.
The court hearing is scheduled for:
Date: Monday, August 21
Time: 10 am CT/ 11 am ET
Location: Courtroom 2502
Circuit Court of Cook County, Chancery Division
Richard J. Daley Center
Chicago, IL
The Judicial Watch lawsuit was filed after Emanuel’s office failed to respond to a December 2, 2015, FOIA request seeking the following:
[A]ll records of communications of officials within the Office of the Mayor – including, but not limited to, Mayor Rahm Emanuel – concerning the police dash camera recordings of the October 20, 2014 shooting of Laquan McDonald. The request also specified that such communication would include discussions about the release of any such video recording to the public and that the time frame of the request is from October 20, 2014 until the date of the request.
The Mayor’s office eventually responded to Judicial Watch’s FOIA request in January 2016 and attempted to have the case dismissed. Judicial Watch argued the case should not be dismissed because the Mayor’s Office had not conducted a thorough search for records. The court agreed. During a September 2016 hearing, the court concluded that the Mayor’s Office’s search was insufficient and ordered the Mayor’s Office to work with Judicial Watch in defining search terms and to subsequently search for additional records.
On November 3, 2016, Judicial Watch was informed that the searches yielded over 900,000 emails.
The Mayor’s Office, however, then ignored and continues to ignore the court’s September 2016 ruling. In January 2017, Judicial Watch asked the court to find the Mayor’s Office in contempt.

And hopefully end the sacrifice of as one good and innocent coppers.
There isn't any remodeling or upgrade work going on at City Hall, is there? Because it sure is funny how when a records request gets ignored and a little noise starts getting made about contempt proceedings, a strange and mysterious fire happens to destroy the records in question. Quite a coinky-dink, doncha think? *Cough, cough, Texas Governor's Mansion, cough.*
Just sayin' . . .
What this city is in desperate need of, is for a court to actually put this sneaky bastards feet to the fire. Actually get to the bottom of a question that everyone knows the answer to. He covered it up and need to pay the price.
“It also has the potential to completely derail the ‘Rahm 2019’ bus...”
giving Chicagoans another opportunity to elect a different self-serving, inept democrat.
I'm no Emanuel fan, but only the clowns change.

Don't get your hopes up. Nothing will happen to Raccoon Eyes. Some of his suckhole minions might go down but that will be that. The Chicago Way.
"It also has the potential to completely derail the "Rahm 2019" bus and hopefully, roll over his narrow ass at the same time."
hey, a guy can dream... hope this happens to the 9.5 digit midget
"Political Time Bomb"
Mmmm-Hmmm...
Yes indeed...
Rahm Emanuel said:
"We're gonna stick it in The Cops ear."
2011
Rahm Emanuel runs the LMcD/JVD shooting video
cover-up to steal an undeserved second term,
and gets it stuck in his ass. Sideways...
2017
Goodbye winning a third term when "The Community"
stays home in protest and Rahm can't flood Chicago
with enough Ciudad Santuario illegal immigrants
to offset "The Community" and serve as the new "Free
Shit Army" to keep the upright, law-abiding taxpaying
citizens nullified via the ballot box.
>Snicker!<
We also hope to see what the pay-off was for
the craven, pant-shitting exempt cowards who
initially ruled this a justifiable shooting,
then were ordered by City Hall to back peddle
from that finding so Rahm could have room to
political hay by sacrificing JVD and the other
Officers on scene to the perpetual race and
cultural grievance industrial complex wolves
to save his own stinking hide from being torn
off and lit aflame by the peoples and folkses
of The Community.
It will be our joy seeing Rahm and every
turn-coat, false-flagging exempt being
frog marched to the MCC wearing orange
jumpsuits and chains.
JVD whatever his flaws, by all means should
walk as a free man.
Why?
Monumental failure to train by CPD.
Massive diversion of training funding
orchestrated by Rahm Emanuel through
Garry McCarthy.
You CANNOT skimp on dynamic Use of Force
training an not reasonably expect "lawful
but optically awful" lethal force encounters
to happen.
Wasn't McCarthy stupid enough to shit-talk
when the issue of training came up?
Something along the lines of "They watch plenty
of streaming videos for their training..."
Congratulations you gate-mouthed chump.
Sit in the little windowless room to
list YOUR assets and liabilities.
Make Emanuel and McCarthy PERSONALLY CULPABLE
AND ACCOUNTABLE because their willful fiscal and
managerial malfeasance has put them outside of
the protective umbrella of indemnification.
Read As:
No m/fing way should the taxpayers be on the
hook for their malfeasance, criminality and
incompetence.
Aye...
The smartest mayor and police stupidintendent ever.
Giving grudging acknowledgement to J-Fled because
he INSISTED Coppers get whistled in at least
2, 3 or even more times a year for firearms and
Use of Force training.
(Still nursing animus for what he did to Cozzi
to try and make street Cops fear him as
"The Great White Police Punisher.")
Firearms training is a hard-wired but nonetheless
perishable skill set that needs to be regularly
refreshed to minimize "lawful but optically awful"
shooting incidents.
And furthermore, these incidents are not going to
magically disappear.
Not for as long as human beings continue in the
righteous endeavor of Policing.
Even that buffoonish Leroy Martin was
right when a similar such issue reared up
and he said (in paraphrase) that, "Policemen
aren't from Mars..."
Protect yourselves first and foremost.
Police Like You Have No Friends.
If not Rham, then who? Who the f do we vote for in this south side hell hole of a city I used to love? It's scary
Keep dreaming, his narrow ass will be just fine.
The "keep your ass out of jail" emails have been scrubbed courtesy of Hillary Inc, you're welcome twerp murder mayor...
Keep the good news coming about the little mope head. Times are changing slowly back to the right side. I would love and thousands others, watch Rahm piss is panties from the stress that will hit him. He used the CPD as his shield and copper' took a hit because of his cover ups all the way. The old brass that all left last year, Escalante and company have no soul and threw so many good P.O.; in a hell of a situation to cover their asses. This is so sad and unjust ! Things like this can bite these pricks back on their shameless asses sooner or later. These alleged bosses gave poor P.O' sleepless nights, hope they get the feel of overly affects of the stress like this poor copper' feel.
Name all the other brass that left with 140 K plus pensions and think they are clear from their misdeeds. The media scum that get their info here would love to hear their names.
It must be nice to ignore a judge's order and not be in jail.
Foid those dam cheating Lt's while you are at it and make sure you check the cover up done by Ferguson. jail for corruption the lot of them!
Did this work with Daley's murderous nephew?
Yeah, call in friend Hillary to start bleaching every email.
There isn't any harsh penalties for government ignoring these requests so don't expect anything to happen here. If anything, they will release some heavily censored pages which will say nothing of value
Also, I believe 6 or 8 aldercreatures from the "community" have already endorsed Rahm
http://chicago.suntimes.com/news/mihalopoulos-suits-linked-to-rutherford-sex-charges-cost-public-515k/
why are taxpayers on the hook for this scumbags misconduct and fuckery. it never ends.
Judicial Watch, the same conservative organization that blew the whistle on Hillary Clinton and her private e-mail server along with the DNC. They are good fighters and do not give up as they have a lot of money to spend. I contribute to them as they try to remove the veil of secrecy on liberal government and their lies. If they are successful, not only will this blow the lid off of the Mayor, it will also take down the superintendent of police.
Lol,like a crook county judge is gonna rule against the machine!
The devil you know. As much as I hate Rahm, the alternatives are not really any better. Jaba the CTU Leader? Taxwinkle? There's no help on the horizon.
It's Chinatown Jake.
The fix is already in. In Chicago nothing happens to turds like Emmanuel.
Civilian here.
Sorry to burst your bubble, but this is Chicago, isn't it? There is no way in hell that Rahm will get nailed over this. Specualting here.....but Rahm never saw the video as he has repeatedly said. He is too smart for that. But.....someone whom he trusted did and that person gave Rahm a blow-by-blow account. And it wasn't reduced to writing, certainly not an email or a text. Rahm is insulated. Sadly, we need to keep dreaming.
i think we all know who saw the tape........
the 5 million tax payer dollars to a mother who never cared about her son is proof enough for me.
i hope jeff sessions can prosecute this goof ball and throw him in a sanctuary cell.
Rahm has been slick through much of the deception with respect to the McDonald tapes. I can still remember when the judge forced him to release them and there was a news conference. A reporter asked Rahm on video, if he had seen the tape, to which Rahm, in his sly Political Hack Manner, as if he were an attorney, rather than a Ballerina responded: "I will see them when you see them." The reporter being a local lacked the courage or skill to realize that Rahm had failed to answer his question. All Freedom of Information Act requests went through specific sworn police personnel; and at this point those officers may have soiled underwear.
Yet, the KEY NAME that NUST come out is: JAMIE ROUNDTREE. MS. Roundtree, an attorney, was the conduit between City Hall and Police Headquarters. And if I know this, plenty of other people are aware of it as well. Nothing cleared, especially if it was controversial without Ms. Roundtree giving the O.K.. They needed sharp coppers working the FOIA Office because occasionally the material they were required to release was confidential, so Redacts had to be made. However, in "Politically" sensitive matters, Roundtree spoke for "Da Mayer". For example, McCarthy and especially the Inarticulate De-Escalante would never dare to speak without Talking Points provided by Roundtree and her staff. Now Roundtree is no longer in the service of our beloved "Shitty"; but she can and should be brought back and made to testify under oath. Then again, if Rahm really is a true protege' of the Clintons, all of these people including the officers need to worry. It seems that bad things would happen to people with information on the Clintons just before they were to testify. Whatever the case, the FOIA situation is not over with this court appearance. If the Whole Truth comes out regarding the Deception of the tape; it will have as great an impact on defeating Rahm as the video itself. Stay Safe. Baby "G"
Please..nothing is gonna happen to the weasel.
Well the good ole ultra liberal democrat mayor really believes his sanctuary is in the city. I mean the city is supposed to protect it's criminals and illegal aliens isn't it.
Anyhow, it's about damned time the courts do something besides trip up our Presidents efforts to make America Great Again and turn killers and baby rapers loose upon taxpaying citizens.
J.J.
I hope and pray it gets "stuck" in Rahm's ear.
He's a condescending, pompous, arrogant asshole who definitely has it coming.
Karma is a motherfucker.
McCarthy needs to speak up and let everyone know that Rahm saw it the next morning. Escalante and Johnso know as well.
The majority of these records will disappear, be accidentally erased or it will be reported that they never really existed. It's the Democratic way and shows the real Chicago values and standards.
I can honestly say I only feel for the other offucers on the scene. I try and try but I just cant understand the amount of rounds used.
The last time there was a request for records this explosive there was a fire originating in the records section of the County building at 55 West Washington. I'm sure nobody was SUPPOSED to get hurt...Lets hope nobody gets hurt in the fire this time
More PO's get slammed over this, bosses are covered and the mayor comes out looking like a hero fro taking down my rouge officers. Dog and Pony show at its finest.
765B
This is odd????
I just did a Google Search and there isn't one single mention of this lawsuit and/or the hearing in any Chicago Newspaper, or on any TV network website, or in any national news org either for that matter.
The only thing that pops up is on the Judicial Watch website and a website called 'Standard Newswire' which is for Press Releases.
One would think this might be as important as tearing down the Balbo statue, or that subhuman savages in jail are in danger from other inmates, but its clear that all Chicago news editors think otherwise. The f--king cowards!
I'm sure there's been a thorough cleaning...you know, like with a cloth.
First, Rahm's Team has been going thru the 900,000 deleting the ballet lessons and sensitive family personal matters for months now.
New computers and phones were already installed and the old ones are long gone.
Seasoned obstructionist and resistor Rahm will have this FOIA drag longer than the release of Hillary's State Dept emails, which are still in snail paced delay.
Unfortunately Judical Watch is only a watchdog without any bite.
Best next step is for the FBI to lock down and a takeover of City Hall.
Wouldn't it be nice to see Rahm escorted away in his jammies on a cold and gray Chicago morning.
They can easily roundup at least ten Alderthives at the same time too.
Only a fool would believe city hall was in the dark on this. Didn't the city council rush some settlement through on the hush hush? Hmmmm...Maybe I'm wrong.
If not Rham, then who? Who the f do we vote for in this south side hell hole of a city I used to love? It's scary
History always repeats itself. The same thing was said when Harold Washington ran for Mayor. I still remember people walking around chanting, Epton before it is too late. And that was over 90% of the other people. Give someone else a chance that is not a media darling or connected. Hold them accountable.
Rahm needs prison time and soon! We are looking at forming a group to make tax laws in chicago and crook county a "sanctuary" whereas we want to follow the examples set by rahm-toni-tommy-the 50 and all the rest of the liars,cheaters,and law breakers! we don't want to pay any state-county-chicago taxes at all! We will continue to pay federal taxes as we well know that President Trump is trying to undo all the bad things barry and that crew along with rahm and his crew has done and continues to do!
When rahm and company can boldly disobey federal laws, boldly lie about the mcdonald incident,boldly bash law and order fuck it why doesn't everyone else pick whatever laws they want to obey?Looking at my real estate tax bill way to much money goes to that pos waste of space cps public school system, don't want to pay that exorbitant tax! Where does it say in the constitutions that we have to educate every kid that is here illegally?Where does it say that we have to house,feed,educate,clothe and give free health care to illegal invaders? All the while that dirty sob took away health care for retired coppers and bragged about it in his emails!
Lastly great news hope President Trump opens up gitamo and maybe we could use Russian gulags (real prisons) to lock up these terrorists:

This group was started was a couple of 20 year old punk kids,and the idiots follow them, since they are a terrorist organization hope
City hall is quicker than the speed of sound to sue the Justice Department on the criminal sanctuary city BS and get in front of the cameras. No delays there because politically they feel it gets votes. But when they know an issue could be damaging they're as slow as a snail and fight tooth and nail to duck and hide. What a place Chicago is!
I doubt anything will happen. Chicago politicians helped get the judges in their spots. Anyone know a republican judge?
Speaking of bombs.
What the hell happened in 005 TAC office , that smelled up the entire building?
The smell is horrific and causing people to become ill.
How much will be redacted (covered with magic marker swipes) if anyone falls it will not be rahm,he will use the ballerina feet to stomp out people around him! Why is Jeff sessions not here yet looking into the city hall and county building shenanigans? They are fully violating federal laws on immigration and nothing happens? No wonder this city-county and state are going totally "lawless!" We are losing how many millions starting Sept 1st used for policing due to the negligence of the elected not obeying federal laws!
Lets stop paying taxes,make that sanctuary pay if you want! The middle class taxpayers get nothing from the taxes,our values are not people being murdered and killed,and allowing criminal illegals to stay here and have us coddle and pay them. Those values are convoluted "get me elected" values that good hard working people do not follow!!
I have come to the conclusion that FOIA requests are being used to find the communications and information that Rham, and his Dem buddies, the scrub squeaky clean. They simply ignore the courts orders, shred the paper, bleachbit the pixels, wipe the servers like with a cloth and then hit the devices with a hammer.
After all, Hillary did it and she got in zero trouble. Lois Lerner did it too, and got in no trouble. Why the heck can't rahm and crew do it too? Heck, even when the documents are in hand, like with Eric Holder regarding fast and furious, and he is directly and undeniable outed and busted bold faced lying to everyone PROVEN there is no consequence whatsoever.
Rahm is confident nothing is going to happen. Nothing will either, because we have a litany of police officer entities, none who will not even arrest these open criminals, much less a judicial tool to actually put them on trial - as corrupt politicians replaced Grande Jury function with Prosecutorial Discretion.
When a COP ARRESTS the CHARGE is levied right then and Prosecutors must be stripped of this false authority to then "not charge" one arrested on FRIGGIN CHARGES!
Rahm will say, when he is finally forced to, that he has already fired the "ones responsible" and that will be the end of it. Sadly. Real Justice would see a whole bunch of politicians IN PRISON for what happened here in this case.
We should all join and conrtibute to" Judicial Watch"
If it makes Rahm look bad you will not hear about this story again.
He will get reelected with ease. Any potential threat will be paid off to step aside.
Lets hope that Judicial Watch successes. This should be interesting. IF RAHM IS AS SHARP AS PEOPLE SAYS HE IS then I can see the follow scenario: The shooting occurs, the dash camera is downloaded, it is distributed to the various officials. The former Superintendent and or Corporation Council sees the film and tell Rahm it is BAD, REAL BAD. Now we see how sharp Rahm is? If he says, " I don't want to see the film" then he is telling the truth and has deniable coup ability. If he see's the film then HE IS DOUMB AS HELL AND SHOULD HAVE HIS ASS HANDED TO HIM. If this is in a email then he is REALLY, REALLY DOUMB AS HELL. This only proves that one can not email anything that can bite you in your ass somewhere down the road.
Why are the federal authorities Jeff sessions not here yet? They need to be here as soon as possible to prosecute the elected officials here who refused to obey immigration laws and every other damn law then we have this headline which is hilarious:
Chicago aldermen consider stiff regulations for self-driving cars
http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/local/politics/ct-chicago-driverless-cars-regulations-met-20170821-story.html
And the best part from Eddie Burke:
Chicago aldermen went "into the future" Monday, calling for tight regulations on driverless cars and envisioning a time when the automated vehicles could be hacked and used as weapons or cost thousands of residents their jobs.
Southwest Side Ald. Edward Burke, 14th, played a clip in City Council chambers of the film "Back to the Future" — though he referred to it as "Into the Future" — in a bid to illustrate the potential dangers of computer-driven cars now being developed by Google and other companies.
Burke warned that someone like Christopher Lloyd's "crazy professor" character from the hit movie could do something reckless on the streets of Chicago with such untested technology.
So Eddie says automated cars could be used as weapons! Since we cannot shoot at A moving vehicle and since the vehicle is not a driverless how do I stop it? These vehicles could be the cure for the disease that affects many people who are criminals and do carjackings let them take the car let the vehicle take him for a ride and like in the movie Christine develop a quick self-destruct maybe blowup end of a problem this is the solution for all of the problems of carjacking! Wait a Gosh darn minute these vehicles could be controlled by the officers who sit in a room doing nothing with that shot spotter bullshit technology they could control the vehicles with the cameras and they can respond to calls remove thoughts from us I wal minute these vehicles could be controlled by the officers who sit in a room doing nothing with that shot spotter bullshit technology they could control the vehicles with the cameras and they can respond to calls remove thugs from a sidewalk removal terrorist type of protesters off the street off! We could get miniaturized tanks, weaponize them to respond to shots fired calls would eliminate the threats!
Hey alderman this would be change we can believe in, hope and change law and order would be restored come out alderman wake up let's just do this!
And with the revelation of this nasty-assed
"Political Time Bomb?"
You can bet the usual Fat Man on Friday that the
Rahm al-Ghoul agit-prop apparatus and the riotously
rotting, reeking and leaking anal whore local media,
will squat, grunt and push every bit of slanted,
anti-Police propaganda that's festering in the Chicago
media colon when Rahm says it's ok to release it for
cynical public titillation, tantalization, and unjust
Police scandalization all because Chicken-Shit Rahm
suppressed the JVD/LMcD video to steal an undeserved
second term in office.
It ain't The Police who are the problem in this town.
The documents will be all blacked out. Like any documents Obama ever released.
It's hard to understand until you realize the people at the top are Evil truly Evil.
Good Day.
Ill puss my pants if it happens till you have a better chance of watching a total eclipse without eye protection.

Did somebody bring in copious amounts of skunk weed?
Did anything come of this?
Daley had people fall on the sword for hi. Rahm does not have a person fall on a toothpick for hi. Disloyal little roach. He made sure poor ass cooper' got fired for nothing over this, with the help of the pimp, Fat Ed.
And the irony is he keeps kicking the can further towards the next election. But of course people keep voting for him like Daley.
Why didn't Ferguson investigate davina Ward for an iAd issue when he was ordered to by IPRA? Now IPRA won't respond either. They are all in in together.

Ferguson got another lucrative contract,50% increase in his budget for keeping his mouth shut! Watch and see him and his "crew"though on the hunt for police,any type of conduct he can spin into his cabal of wicked misconduct!
Rahm controls the media now more than ever. His bff andy Shaw's son in law is Chris Hayes of MSNBC. Rahm has the entire media in the bag and Ferguson or andy shaws fake bga will do anything about it. He is a sneaky sleazy pos.
One of Ferguson's chief investigator is an ex cop with a giant lawsuit paid by the city for his misconduct.

One wouldn't think so, but the judge has already ruled against the Mayor's motion to dismiss.
