All Sorts of Crime Thursday
- Chicago police detectives who reviewed phone and financial records in the Jussie Smollett investigation found the "Empire" actor discussed drug deals with one of two brothers who later claimed to have helped him stage a hate crime.
“N----- you got a molly connect,” Smollett said in a text exchange with one of the brothers in September 2018, referring to the popular club drug ecstasy.
“Imma need a good fo pills Haha,” Smollett later said before one of the brothers minutes later replied, “Oh yeah? Got you?”
Oops. Crimesha got some more explaining to do, along with Mrs. Sparklefarts lawyer friend.
Then R. Kelly gets re-indicted, this time with Class X felonies:
Then R. Kelly gets re-indicted, this time with Class X felonies:
- Cook County prosecutors on Thursday filed a new series of sex assault charges against R. Kelly, adding 11 felony counts against the singer, including charges that carry a potential sentence of up to 30 years in prison.
The alleged offense happened in January 2010, according to the court records. The charging document does not contain many details and it was unclear whether the charges are tied to an unreported incident, but Kelly’s lawyer indicated that the new charges are related to an alleged victim and acts that were the basis of one of the four sex abuse cases filed against Kelly earlier this year.
- Ald. Edward M. Burke and his top political aide, Peter J. Andrews, were charged Thursday with racketeering in a wide-ranging 59-page indictment, which contains the most details yet of the alleged trail of corruption left by once one of the most powerful politicians in the city.
Among the new charges in the indictment, Burke is accused of shaking down the developer of the Old Post Office development for legal work and attempting to derail a proposed fee increase by the Field Museum, because it was not responding to his inquiry regarding a job for the child of a Burke acquaintance, former Ald. Terry Gabinski.
The charge itself, racketeering, is stunning, given that it was created to combat mobsters and organized crime, and the racketeering criminal enterprise named in the indictment is the government of the City of Chicago itself.
The reporter obviously doesn't know their history. Chicago has been a "criminal enterprise" since du Sable was trading with the Native Americans. And aldercreature Danny Solis makes an appearance as the guy wearing the wire - the first of many appearances it would seem.

Kim Fox tacked more charges on Kelly to detract from her boy Jesse Smollet.
Jussie Smollett: Black Trash
(Can I say that? Pretty please? It's NOT racist.
White Trash IS White Trash. Dude Inc. don't

And untouchable! Teflon Jussie Smollett.
Thug thwacking Thursday
How many years was burke permitted to bark and ruin this city?
Can't wait to learn about all his fun and games along with all the other associated criminals. Bet Groot won't need to trim the number of aldercreatures. The whie color self cleaning, squealing oven was arrived.
Think indiana and wisconsin have extra popcorn?
This will be great fun to watch
CH 7 said in late Feb., one of the reports said the ASA’s were going to give him a deal. Why was the Supt. so surprised?
City government named in a RICO beef? Daaaaaaaaaaaaaamn. The Feds generally don't fool around when it comes to looking for related offenders, and if every current or former aldercreature, bureaucrat, political hire, ward goon, etc. has a link to the enterprise, well...
This is going to be amazing.
Good, clean house.
Will Ed Burke be the first one ever serving federal time while the spouse sits as an active member of their home state's supreme court?
Now that is a first of which we can be proud!
did a double take looking at the slum times. next to the pic of burke in his gangster outfit is this:
ENTERTAINMENT AND CULTURE
Within days of arrest, prosecutors told cops Smollett would only get fine, community service
they filed this one correctly. the starry eyed crimeshs is in charge.
restorative justice and pop culture all in one.
I have read hundreds of high profile and homicide case files from CPD and I’m amazed at two things I found when reviewing the reports on the Smollett case. First, I can’t believe the amount of reports generated as compared to the average homicide investigation, which would only have have fraction of the reports with a suspect or suspects charged. They care more about this so called actor then a homicide victim. Secondly, I have never seen an assistant states attorney discuss the outcome of a case when the investigation is still ongoing and negotiations between the state and defense have not taken place. This shows signs of impropriety and the detectives knew this because they documented what was stated to them by the states attorneys office in their report. The ASA who informed the detectives of the outcome of the case needs to be talked to by the investigators of this case as to her conversations with Kim Foxx .
How about all those Merit’s he’s made over the years. Let’s ask them to resign already.
How could the cook county states attorneys office tell CPD to no longer investigate the crime with Smollett? Eddie Johnson needs to be investigated when he said he only found out about droppped charges later. Something smells very fishy.
When you try to shake down a developer of a classic
government building it is RICCO. That place provided
employment to countless thousands of middle class
American workers. Here you have a late to the game
Aldercreature trying to squeeze out the very last dime.
Must be that protective female instinct with Smollett.
Kelly is too far gone.
RICO has a forfeiture provision, are the feds going to use it on Eddie?
Will media be referring to him as alderman or former or a former police officer? Wait no you were never a working cop, your just playing pretend for street creds!
Have his arrogant aides started humility training with the feds yet? All those law school grads licking his loafers.
So many questions you have caused us to ask Eddie. Absolutely no class.
But a great show you have created! Pass me some o dat popcorn
Did the network payoff Jessie to not come back to empire tv show
Burke made money the old fashioned way.
He stole it.
You forgot the new Mayor, what's her name, said Burks should step down just because he was indicted. She sure doesn't understand how Chicago works. Being incited is a sure vote getter. Step down my ass, he is about to step up. So much for the concept of innocent until. The new Mayor has a lot two learn about the Chicago Way and Chicago Values. Let the schooling begin.
Give Solis the Nobel peace prize. Will be very interesting to watch it all play out.
The Jessie story is getting a lot more Juicy. It sure looks like Kim had the fix in all along. What a surprise. Will be her undoing in the long run. One term and out unless indicted and sent to a Dart Pizza party.
When will his wife step in and quash all this. She has an awful lot of power and clot as a siting State Supreme Court Justice. Only in Illinois is this possible.
If the politicians thought that racketeering would ever be used agents them do you believe it would have been made a law? if you do you haven't been paying attention.
Keep in mind if ED BURKE gets shit canned from city council LIGHTGROOT get to appoint the NEW ALDERMAN for that ward!
Do you think it will be somebody that love the police?
anyways BUY EDDIE i wonder if his Judge wife is on those wires? And don't forget PRICK-wrinkle got some kick back too.
I guess there is no call back for Aldermen. So much for no pay status.
Can they at least impeach Burk! He looks lost without his crown.
Eddie should have quit when he was waaaaaaaay ahead.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
R I C O = B I N G O
Boy oh Boy we are gonna have a great show folks
They keep piling charges on Burke and our Department continues to let him make decisions about CPD. Only in Chicago can an indicted Alderman continue to dump and promote people.
Will Eddie be able to bring his body guards with him to Federal Prison? Time to look at all of the rulings by the Mrs... Why is she is active?
I'll believe Burke is in real trouble when it happens. Until then....yawn.
Will Lori call for the resignations of other aldercreatures as well?
We all wonder what CPD friends Ed Burke reaches out to on a regular basis to, let’s say, put some pressure on persons to comply to his demands.
8 months of recorded calls. Any puckering assholes still wearing a CPD uniform?
Or are all of you retired and working for the county.
Just a word of advice, cooperate!!
Highest Property Taxes, High State Income & Sales Taxes, High Gas Taxes, Exorbitant Tollways, Highest Homicides, Most Corrupt Politicians. Anyone see the X Factor? That's right all brought to you by DEMOCRATS. ♠️
“Imma need a good fo pills Haha,” Smollett later said before one of the brothers minutes later replied, “Oh yeah? Got you?”
My translate app wouldn't work on this one. Please translate for me.

Illinois has other firsts.
First state to have two former governors in the federal pen at the same time.
First judge (Cook County)in the country to have his chambers wired by the feds (Greylord).
Time for Burke to head for the Club Fed to play some racketball , and grow some petunias.
So, was a "FIX" in when the Illinois Supreme Court(Justice Mrs Burke) didn't give us CPD retirees back our health insurance? When they DID give it back to all Illinois State Police retirees.? You know, like, the Illinois Constitution says NO to any diminishment of benefits? Just asking..........
LOL!
First ones on that ol' rattlin' bangin' and backfirin'
Federal Bluebird get to sit...
The rest of these rotten m/fers get wound around that
madly spinning drive shaft, hung up on that hot exhaust
or wedged firmly between those dual rear wheels like a
dead dog similarly caught and flapping s/b on the Ryan at 80 mph...
No pity for these m/fers.
Fuck them.
Did Eddie Burke take classes in ethics and morality during his time at Quigley and DePaul University? Wonder if “where's mine” translates to Latin?
Not a good sign...when Alderman Burke wears a pinkie ring in City Council chambers. Calling Fred Roti...anyone, anyone.
Wow! So many to choose! Which one to I want to go to prison?
(a) Jussie Smollett
(b) R. Kelly
(c) Edward Burke
How about (d) All of the above.
CCSA did not add charges to R. Kelly, just amended the original to Class X...As far as Burke goes, this is the perfect example of A) Cutting down the amount of aldermen & B) Term limits. They are servants of US the tax paying citizens. Each and every time I see the corruption reported, my blood pressure goes up a few notches. Fuck I cant wait 3 yrs. & some odd days counting.
Where’s Rahm’s cut?
How does all this deal making get overlooked going through the city processes.
Explains wonderment of why so many seasoned AlderThieves jumped ship.
We might find out where Rahm would fit into the mix, unless the Fed isn’t doing a thorough job and not delve into the past 10 years because once again it will implicate obama and Shortshanks as we all should know, Tony Reszko had his hands on the surrounding properties tied into the Old Post Office/South Loop grand scheme of redevelopment.
BTW USPS sold that property for a sawbuck and since transferred ownership (making millions in capital gains) a few times with promises of millions in RahmShanksTIF’s to go along with Rezko’s south Loop endeavors.
Any guess what...No Property Taxes were ever paid which are probably close to $1 million in arrears just for one deal.
Rahm knows of the PO tax relief package, he and the old rubber stamp council approved it last year.
Said it before, it took decades to snag Fast Eddie Vrdolyak and as for land schemers Davis-Vanecko, Shanks Jr, and a few smaller fish, they all got off easy.
Time to wait up the gimp Blago, more implicating Rezko and Nadhmi Auchi
Time is on Burke's side, his lawyers will continue this forever, he'll be dead before this goes to trial.
Me thinks there's a lot of "scared mothafuckas" in the city council about right now. Pucker up buttercup time to choose, syrup or jelly.
Lightfoot said that a lot of aldermen will be getting indicted and charged shortly. A lot of exempts are whispering the same thing. Let's hope it's true.
I bet that ex legislative inspector general Rahm and the aldermen fired is having a big laugh over this.
I wonder how Lightfoot slaps down Burke one day, and he gets indicted the following day. Wonder how that works.
looka like eddie burke who GOT cAught on a wire by danny solis should had heeded to advice that frank pantengeli said to michael corleone in the movie " the godfather part II"
Your father did business with Hyman Roth, he respected Hyman Roth... but he never *trusted* Hyman Roth! ...
Fortunately Indiana is the second largest Popcorn producing state, after Nebraska. which together produce almost 50% of all popcorn
Lori has demanded Burke resign citing her ‘Moral Authority’ as Mayor of Chicago. Ease up Lori, reefer is not legal yet!
Burke’s wife should resign from the Supreme Court. Very implausible she was completely unaware of her crooked husband.
KImmy foxx ,Cook County,Il prosecutors told Chicago Police to lay off case against
smellitt..a week before case was dropped by kimmy foxx ..according to smellit
CPD files

There are no morals in Chicago so Lori just STFU. Your making a fool of yourself right off the bat. Pick fights you can win fool.

Watching them run, shit and cry like step-children
at a bad orphanage taking an ass-beating for not
eating their gruel will be worth the grief and
aggravation they deliberately caused Policemen
over the years...
No sympathy for them whatsoever
and hoping the Feds rail them in
their asses so hard they'll be
wheelchair bound and wearing
knock-off Depends...
Shouldn't have taken up a life of crime.
Nine billion $$$$$$$$$$$$ for a new terminal at ohare airport. Now that's coruption. Your traveling not vacationing at the airport. All you need is a clean bathroom and a snack. How long does one remain at the airport on arrival? You get your baggage and leave. What a scam rhammie has left the city with.
Excuse me but allow me to point out that Eddie Burke has never gone through the rigouous testing to be a SpankDaddy and now is ineligible.
Thus endeth the lesson.
The indictment quotes several conversations between Burke and Solis about the Post Office developer, in which Burke complained,
“the cash register has not rung yet.”
He also asked, “So did we land the, uh, the tuna?”
“a believer in sharing the wealth.”
“Well, good luck getting it on the agenda,”
“as far as I’m concerned they can go f--- themselves.”
-Burke-

I think she got a heads-up from one of her "federal partners". Then she figured, if I am ever to take a very public shot at him face to face and show my strength and moral high ground, I better take it ASAP because he might not be around very long. Then she thought she could shame him into resigning. So far, she thought wrong.
HEY FEDS--LOOK HERE! POS Burke makes money on injured city workers & worker's comp insurance deals. Look at him & Crook County Board of Appeals deals.
rick flair --> woooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
It always impressed me that he dressed like Nathan Detroit.
