Two Years on a Wire

  • A bombshell court filing made public Wednesday shows the FBI spent more than two years investigating alleged corruption schemes by longtime Ald. Daniel Solis, secretly recording meetings with other politicians and power brokers and listening in on thousands of phone calls as the alderman solicited everything from campaign donations to sexual services at a massage parlor.

    The 120-page search warrant affidavit was filed under seal in May 2016 and made public after the Chicago Tribune successfully argued in court for its release. It was first obtained in January by the Chicago Sun-Times after it was inadvertently left on the public docket because of a mix-up by the clerk’s office.

    The explosive document lays out in exhaustive detail a laundry list of alleged federal crimes the FBI had compiled against Solis by the time he was confronted and agreed to cooperate with the investigation.

    Solis had received a “steady flow of personal benefits” in exchange for official action as an alderman or the promise of official action, the affidavit alleged, including Viagra pills and prostitution services from a political operative who represented a company seeking an exemption from the city’s water ordinance.
Plenty more where this came from and lots more big names.

We have seen this before and we will see it again! Wasn't Dorothy TILLMAN under investigation for at least the last 5 years??? What happened there, the statute of limitations run out. The justice scale is manipulated with weight, the weight of money thrown at any violation can make all the difference in the world! Organized crime has access to money that Capone's crew only dreamed of and they had tons that are still in lock boxes! Corruption has taken over government and it is to a level where it has become an everyday occurrence and accepted!
They talk about the Russians influencing elections, worry more about the SUPER PAC Money and the organized industrial influence! Sooner or later money is going to mean nothing because it is in the hands of only a very few!!! Then its anybody's guess what happens next!

It's been said before but is worth repeating: You don't have to be Einstein to figure out that the city, county and state are broke because there is massive corruption in our churches, our business community and our government!

Who cares? Nothing will happen the city will still hire the unemployable for political reasons. Promotions will go to political operatives and it will be business as usual. Chicago is a closed shop deal with it.

The funny part is Danny Solis daughter MAYA SOLIS is in charge of 1/3 of the cities park district. Nice clouted spot RAHM put her in.

read page 56-58 of the warrant application.

I guess daddy and both daughters MariSOL and MAYA did a shake down on some dance studio SOL had a lawsuits with. SOL got a quick settlement after daddy used his steam to get the studio evicted from the building.

AND all of this was on daddy wired phone. Does the inspector general read anything???
You know if she was a lowly patrol officer she would be at 311 being fired.

Lets watch and see how the morons fall, bet they have quite a few exempts of various wires, don't think danny is the only 1 wearing that wire,this is getting interesting the writing a novel hope many many more fall. Time for the Chicago democratic "all stars" to be given the hand of fate! All the people that are crying at their dead loved ones,the people shot,stabbed,car jacked,robbed,sexually assaulted much due to letting the thugs/felons illegals have free reign here compliments on the non-law and order elected that pander to the elements that will give them the votes to stay in power. As they are driven around in armored vehicles with armed police officers,that have police radios to get instant response to their radio calls for help if needed.

How many funerals do the elected criminal democrats attend? how many times do they visit the injured at the hospitals? how much compassion for the families of the murdered,and incapacitated do they visit and tell them "it is due to my policies that this has happened?" None is the answer,they will never take the credit for all this murder and mayhem,and lastly if Preckwinkle gets the 5th floor this will complete the devastation wrought by rahm and his crew only hope is Lori and that Lightfoot uses her federal partners to cleanse the scum that infest our city hall and county building!

Oh great, thanks for the info Tribune. Now I feel dirty and in need of a Bath with Lava Soap.

I hope no youngsters read that part of the article. It could ruin their sex lives forever. The idea of Danny Solis dropping the Blue Pill then 'doing the nasty' with Hookers can be too much for fragile young minds to handle. (rotfl)

Hope all these corrupt fools get what they deserve, prison time. It’s common knowledge that Chicago, Cook County and Illinois are so compromised and full of corruption. Finally hearing about some karma catching up to them is a breath of fresh air. God only knows we’ve been suffocating while having to live here.

Wait for Boner Solis to start squealing like a pig...if he even has to.

Now that we find that the Juicsy Swolledit case was interfered with by obama DOJ, there MUST be more to the reason so many Machine Alderthieves and RottenRahm decided to bow out.
And speaking of Court Clerk incompetence, how much longer are the FBI going to diddle with the Dorthief Brown shenanigans?
Me thinks the same obamaSwamp FBI colluded with Rahm giving him and others a pass, except the confident kingpin Burke who became the sacrificial goat and will walk away unscathed.

Think about it, the obamaFBI sure went full speed ahead for over two years on anything and anyone tied to POTUS DJT and they still got nothing.

Can’t trust a Democrat and never the Democrat FBI.

“Mr. Solis has decided to cooperate with the federal government to continue to serve the city of Chicago’s best interests.”

The longer this drags out the more worried all those on tape are getting. Bet there is a lot of backroom deals being done. Cornered rats can be very dangerous. Hope this could be the beginning of the end of the Machine. I know wishful thinking, but one has to have some hope.
