Code of Excusing Bad Behavior
- Chicago Public Schools Inspector General Nicholas Schuler says district CEO Forrest Claypool should be fired for his handling of an ethics investigation involving the district’s top attorney, according to sources, but Mayor Rahm Emanuel is sticking by his embattled schools chief.
Emanuel issued a statement Wednesday night saying Claypool “made a mistake” but called for no rush to judgment.
“These are serious allegations, and I know the board is reviewing them with the scrutiny they merit – but Forrest himself has already acknowledged the lapse in judgment, and apologized for it,” Emanuel said in a statement. “And I think we should all take a deep breath before making snap judgments about a man with a sterling reputation and a sterling record of public service.”
Well thank goodness he was only mishandling ethics investigations. Chicago pols haven't had any ethics to speak of since early 1837 and weren't about to actually enforce ethical behavior nowadays. Rules are for fools, not Claypool.

Rules are for the ruled, not the rulers or their errand boys.
Imagine freedom.
Clay Pole is a political hack left over from King Richard the II. He definitely should be fired.
He should resign. If not, 9.5 should fire him. That seems to be how it is expected to go these days. I am absolutely thrilled when the democRATS feed on their own.
And, Durbin and Duckshit are hot on Franken's tail. Go get him girls!
Pre Civil War History
Great article......We have nothing but the best guys running the parks, schools, city, county and the state......That's why they are all beyond broke! Legends in their own (small) minds. I hope we can figure out a few more people to hire at upwards of $300,000.00 + to help. All we need is a few more good guys and it will all be straightened out, like Milwaukee Avenue.....LOL
Absolutely explosive news and he should be fired. Which is exactly why they will sweep it under the rug and keep him on. Wish I had 10% of the money this lifelong taxpayer leech will get. Sickening ain’t it ?
A Sterling Reputation means you haven't engaged in fuckupery. Unless, of course, like all things in Chiraq - it's just silver plated, and the core is rotten.
Schuler was a very good cop before he became Inspector General. Worked in 018.
Accountability!!!! That’s what it’s all about, these days. This hack has been screwing up every agency he’s ever been a part of. There should be a limit to how many gigs you can get. Claypool, Huberman, Byrne, Duncan, et al, should be banned.
The DemoRATS didn't get the message when Berrios defeated Cesspool. It wasn't that we union members loved Berrios, it was to say FU to Cesspool.
This cuck is a protected insider. Someone who shouldn't be in a leadership position. He's been on the union's hit parade ever since he fucked with people at the Park District.
Double standard on a Rule 14 violation for Rahm's buddy Claypool, don't you know only cops get fired for lying, false report etc. City should hire Nick Schuler as Inspector General and get rid of do nothing political hack Ferguson who would never dare interview Rahm. Rahm's low rent and third rate Inspector General Ferguson is strictly a go along guy going after small fish.
I hope Ram will stick by me if I become "embattled".....
Rahm states that this is a 'mistake' and everybody is making a 'rush to judgement that needs to be cleared up.'
Had this happened to anybody else - you're guilty!
Any deep breaths taken before passing judgment of a police officer's actions? That mother fucker is the antichrist of Chicago.
The walrus was Paul said ... I am in awe of the Mayor, Rahm has crafted a brilliant defense to any member facing a Rule 14 violation, just acknowledge you were wrong and say "I'm sorry" ! What works for Claypool should work for the lowly patrolman, right ? That New Trier education really paid off for Rahm in spades, he really is so much more than a great dancer and financial genius !
“These are serious allegations, and I know the board is reviewing them with the scrutiny they merit – but Forrest himself has already acknowledged the lapse in judgment, and apologized for it,” Emanuel said in a statement. “And I think we should all take a deep breath before making snap judgments about a man with a sterling reputation and a sterling record of public service.”
The icky twerp Murder Mayor always says this about his appointees before they are about to be indicted, good riddance Playfool...
Just bring back Luberman.
He was just as clean as Claypool. Just kidding.
Is it me or do the bosses always get caught doing wrong at CPS and then they walk away?
Rahm has such a classy way of hiring the brightest people who all end up with arrests and indictments and that’s only the CPS.
With all the misconduct that is apparent in this situation at the least Claypool should be pulled from any
Financial decisions regarding the CPS. If this sound familiar just think back when Barbra Bird Bennet was allowing no bid contracts
To her buddies at her former employer. And she was getting a kickback.......
What is Claypool getting? Or is it just sitting waiting for him to move on to get the cash?
This is sad and crazy we are reviewing another CPS boss over the same kind of actions.....
Rules are for fools
I like that
This is the same kind of story Rahm came up with when he was covering up for Bill Clinton's raping women in the 90's, Botb Emanuel and that piece of shit ABC News anchor George Stephonopoulos (?) were the main architcitects of Clinton's smear tactics of defaming the accusers of the predator President. Maybe I should add allegedly the architects. Remember, the Presidents a good guy, if something happened, it was a mistake and we should forget about it. Just think about all the good he's done. They brought up Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court, dirty Republicans, on and on.
The next thing coming out of City Hall and Board of Ed Headquarters will be dirt on the IG. Dirty up the accuser and all of a sudden the facts don't matter. Typical Rahm politics
How about getting rid of those 50 corrupt AlderCreatures.
“...take a deep breath before making snap judgments...”
(For the record - Statements like such are not provided to the corrupt racist, intolerant blue shirt police no matter what the circumstances.)
What, Rahm take a hit for another bad decision at the always failing unrepairable CPS ?
Maybe we won’t find Forests fingerprints on any unsupervised cookie jar at the perennial hemorrhaging CPS.
There was a time when Claypool was a pretty decent reform manager with some good decision making.
But FOUR - yes, 4 pensions and lucrative financial options later... wuh hoppin?
Start meddling into city finances and secret affairs and you either get the anointment or you get the force out.
Obviously he’s playing along the Chicago Way .
One has to wonder what this city or state would be like if Paul Vallas were the Mayor or governor.
Come on folks, Forest is doing such a great job educating the youth of you need to cut him a break. He must also know where some bodies are buried based upon Rahm's support statements. No rush to judgment for the clouted. A definite Chicago Value.
Too bad Rahm The Dickish doesn’t feel that way when a copper makes a mistake and is deemed automatically guilty by the various offices he put in place as well as the so called Chicago press. Many Officers that have “sterling” records and career reputations do not get that same consideration when a mistake is made.
Would this "misstep" by Claypool, which puts taxpayers on the hook for over $1 Million fall into the category of "Walls of Silence"? Apparently Blue Walls of Silence are not the only Walls in Chicago politics and government. And if Rahm and Claypool think they can manipulate this Inspector General, they are in for a very Rude Awakening. Nick Schuler is not a Hack, as in the case of the Inspector General for the City Colleges of Chicago. Schuler is a no nonsense former Jesuit Seminarian, who came from a Chicago Police family. He joined the Chicago Police Department and rapidly rose to the rank of Sergeant. He then quit the police department to go to law school full-time. Schuler is not one to compromise what he knows to be the truth. Stay Safe and remember, Rahm has your back! (Like he had McCarthy's back) Baby "G"

Ethics? There ain’t no ethics round here. This here’s liberal country.
Claypool is a reformer putting all those public agencies back on track lining up another pension for each and every position held.
Rham has voiced his support, that means your gone!
He is protected just another agitator, but then again he has been around so long reaping millions for himself,he obviously had to pass some along to the elected! He knows where the skeletons are, and they are scared of him! then we have this punk in north korea:
North Korea: War an 'established fact' due to Trump's 'confrontational warmongering'
http://www.foxnews.com/world/2017/12/07/north-korea-war-established-fact-due-to-trumps-confrontational-warmongering.html
This goof and his family have threatened this country to long, the era of cowards like barry and clintons is over,President trump yesterday took a "real mans: stand and stood by his campaign promises and is making Jerusalem the capital moving our embassy there!Hope soon nk is just a barren wasteland enough of the threats Trump is the man for our time,pro law and order and will not take that sand being kicked in the face!
God bless the police,and praying the DOJ gets here soon as rahm is scared,little luis G connected terrorists supporter like the other democrats breaking federal laws left! whose next to be "put in the corner" was this rahm when he was younger and still today:

I guess cops aren't allowed the same mistakes.
9.5 fired Supt McCarthy
9.5 fired Atty Patton
9.5 fired other Administrative Staff
But He owes ClayPool
Loyalty is with His Appointments Not with the Children in CPS or with the Teachers
Loyalty was with Barbara Byrd Bennett
Loyalty is with His Appointments Not with the Children in CPS or with the Teachers
Loyalty was with the Closing of 50 plus schools
Loyalty is with His Appointments Not with the Children in CPS or the Teachers
I love to know who is clout is? This guy has fucked up every where he has worked. Name one position he has had where he didn't fuck up the department he headed? He is the classic example of the Peter Principle. Only in Chicago.

Rahm will never fire him,think claypool has been around long bet he has so much to share with the doj on the elected and rahm with the rest are afraid to light this spark!
Man where is this cool and calm lvl headed sentient when there is an officer involved shooting lol.
Why are we forced to take the annual city ethics statement when constantly the policy makers who drafted it violate it and are never punished. Once again do as I say not as I do!
And, Durbin and Duckshit are hot on Franken's tail. Go get him girls!

The democRATS went after him and got Franken to resign, but they feel safe because they know the democRATic governor of Minnesota will just appoint another libtard to finish Franken's term, which ends in 2020.
President Trump please save us. Arrest the corrupt political class in Chicago now. It will change the direction of America for the better.
Your street credibility would increase 10 fold among the liberal left because they also hate political corruption..
Should have got him a dictionary when he took the job. It's spelled E-T-H-I-C-S.
(If it's not, I blame my spell checker!)
J.J.
yet god forbid we take a free cup of coffee. MAKE SURE U DO UR ETHICS or take some time. What a joke this country and city has become. Every democrat getting caught yet are allowed to say we didnt mean it. Another fine RAHM hire whose been busted with corruption. If he was head of a company the board would have launched him for incompetence. Hey Carol Muran, u paying attention. U love going on channel 11 and calling out police corruption. What, can t talk with RAHMS d!c% in ur mouth.
It’s that thin scum line that rahm and all the other pols adher to. It’s the police fault.
Hey Rahm, how about the Area One Sgt. (D.G) Who had a sterling reputation but was forced to resign because of pressure. Backing him up was the right thing to do but you chose to remain silent likely because you had seen the video. I wouldn't have remained quiet if I were him.
Let a police officer make a mistake and they come to judgement immediately. There is no wait for an investigation. Punish the officer immediately. Imagine if a peon attempted to instruct an investigation. The media would have a field day. Could this be a "code of silence" among the Mayor, Claypool, and the Board of Education. How many teachers do you think Claypool fired for making a "mistake in judgement"? He should be terminated immediately. Claypool is doing Rahm's dirty work, so board will do nothing.
“And I think we should all take a deep breath before making snap judgments about a man with a sterling reputation and a sterling record of public service.”
Will the same courtesy be afforded to any copper that reacts anywhere north of the kinder, gentler, fuzzier community police that society demands?
Me thinks NOT.
And on top of it all Aldercreatures are exempt from paying property taxes too...
Is that the same Nick Schuler who was a Sgt in Area 5 V/C?
What about police officers in this city, with sterling reputations and years of protecting the public. One perceived mistake and Rahm wants to fire you or send you to jail.
On the WGN news, 12/7/17 at 1700 hrs.,it "quotes" the Inspector General as indicating in a "13 Page Investigative Report" that Forrest Claypool.... "Engaged in a FULL BLOWN cover up," - "completely lied" - "falsified documents" within his full report.
What did Rham 9.5 have to say about the 13 Page Investigative Report which concluded that he "resign" ... "Forrest acknowledged his 'mistake' that's a sign of 'character' and he apologized... there's two sides to every story.?!"
Quick! JVD get on TV and simply 'apologize.'
According to Rham (who knew about, but hid the video to save his re-election)
that's a sign of 'character' and ALL SHOULD BE FORGIVEN.
Like SCC has repeatedly indicated... "TWO SETS OF RULES?!"
This guy Claypool how does he bounce from one government Scam job to another? Park Dist. CTA CPS. And where ever he goes things don't get better. Only inept politicians get paid for their incompetence and retirees get their health insurance taken away. ♠️
No rush to judgement. Unless your a police officer...
This bad behavior is ok with the mayor
A sterling record of public service that includes that smooth and easy changeover to the Ventra card system at CTA. Oh, and the Belmont flyover which is sure to be under-budget.
Nick Schuler is not on my most liked list, but he got this right. I hope Claypoole not only gets
fired….but spends time in the gray bar hotel.
Hope the scandal rips Rahm’s asshole to shreds
Nothing will happen, it won't be on the front page tomorrow. If he does loose his job he will be given another spot in the clout army. It's the Chicago way, Fuck up move up just like the CPD leadership.
Claypool has been hopping around all the top jobs and salaries for a very long time, as if no-one else is qualified, which,
In a city this size, is not to be believed.
