Out-Bribed


There never was an actual investigation (or audit) into how many suitcases of unmarked cash Shortshanks dished to the International Olympic Committee in Copenhagen, but it obviously wasn't enough:
  • A jailed former governor of Rio de Janeiro state told a judge on Thursday that he paid about $2 million for the votes of International Olympic Committee members to award the Brazilian city the 2016 Summer Games.

    Sergio Cabral said he paid $1.5 million in bribes through intermediaries to the former president of the International Association of Athletics Federations, Lamine Diack, originally in exchange for up to six votes in the meeting that awarded Rio the Olympic and Paralympic Games. The former governor added that another $500,000 was paid later to Diack’s son with the aim of securing three more votes of IOC members for Rio.

    The former governor said he bought the votes for Rio to get to "the second stage of the vote" and that "no votes were bought after that."

The best part was the many rumors of
Shortshank's grand mal melt-down on the
flight back to Chicago.

Drunk...
Crying...
Cursing...
Yelling...
Slapping and Kicking his man-servants.

And very likely shitting himself because the
Fed was all up in his ass like cheap tissue...

That he was allowed to escape being
stood on a gallows and hanged for stealing some $85 Million
from muni employee pension funds for this, (with the
lion's share from the Police Pension fund) will always
be an unrequited grievance for us and many others.

Now you know why they never, ever considered putting the Olympics at permanent sites, like Greece and Switzerland.

There is too much money to be siphoned off by these August Devoted Arbiters of Amateur Athletic Sports.
Damn it, they have a hard life of conferences and committee meetings at five star hotels in exotic locations.
An endless dreary cycle of banquets and awards they are suffering through.
They rarely get to satisfy their pedophile urges like many of the coaches, team doctors, and trainer staff do.
These illicit millions of dollars are a fair compensation that they deserve!

Think of the Bureaucrats!

They grifters still made out well with the abandoned Michael Reese Hospital $100 million buy out, commissions, interest on the loan for some demolition and subsequent resale. Remember Rahm refinance that land, saved $4 mil in interest, thank you very much says the re-if broker and bank. What’s the monthly nut on 5.95% on $90 mil?
Somewhere in that original deal at least $20 million of interest accrued before the refi.

Couldn’t sell the wasteland to Amazon, now they’re banking on a possible casino site (yeah right) but ultimately it’s just going to be another freeloader subsidized Section 8 tenement colony.

Bottom line and before any reconstruction dust settles, the property value is basically flat at best, absolutely no gains will go back into the raided city taxpayer coffers now that it may be finally sold off.

No difference between this Olympic Village scheme than what Paul Manafort was accused of and sent to prison for.
Someone lobbied ShortShanks into the idea, had the city buy that property without a contingency, secured investors and loans, all with money that had no guarantees to the taxpayer other than short lived grandiose sporting event promise.

Lots of background in that area of the 4th Ward and all the players from obama to Prickwrinkle.
Maybe something will come in the way of prison for more Chicago Dems.

Not to speak of all the mysterious deaths that popped up thereafter either.

With the legal weed coming to state of Illinois is going to text it at a very high rate why not the city of Chicago to County of Cook this state is looking at a 20% tax on this why not add another 2030% for the city and finally take care of the pensions I know how it is assholes are going to be walking around hires kites who cares this is what the Democrats want you think they care about an extra tax they will get the money from somewhere who cares anymore just find a damn pension. With a petition going around also for a audit of the Chicago police pension funds This could get interesting let’s see who gave for instance the Daley family the 60+ millions of dollars for that terrible real estate investment who signed off on it and why and where they paid off and how much?

Chicago Final Jeopardy answer:

Who WAS Michael Scott?

Lots of funny shit with Shortshanks
flying to Copenhagen with suitcases
full of city employee pension money
to grease the rails for the Chicago
bid.

Lots of funny shit with shadowy characters
buying up all the vacant properties around
Douglas Park with Shortshank's most reliable
black button-man Michael Scott serving as a
"medium."

Whenever Shortshanks needed to put a black
face on something and still be in control
of it, he chose Michael Scott.

Scott was back and forth as a "fixer"
for years...

That's how they get you...
Make you feel like you're somehow
"invaluable" to them.

If you hit your lick?
Get the fuck out and stay gone.

The more you come back to be
"invaluable" the more imminently
disposable you become.

Well... The Chicago bid imploded gloriously
and the shadowy characters were now all in
on property that was worth double dick-all
because the "sure thing" O-limp-dick bid
fucking cratered when those slick "yer-peens"
showed a dumb-ass hick like Daley what REAL
skullduggery, fuckery and bribery was.

Daley got rolled like a drunk Bulls fan
falling for the charms of a 6'3' woman with
a 9 o'clock shadow and lipstick from when
the "Mad-House on Madison" was on the other side...

M/fers who were behind the m/fers started wanting
their money back and Shortshanks was in a pinch.

No?

Poor Michael Scott...

Got the phone call that the Feds wanted a chat.

"Congrats! We have an indictment with your name on it!"

Disremember details but word was he was trying
desperately to call Daley's gate-keeper
Jackie Heard...

It would seem that Jackie was told NOT
to take any of Scott's calls and Scott
was left hanging in a bad way by
Shortshanks.

Where IS Jackie?
Did she vanish into the depths
of the Witness Protection program?

How Shortshanks eluded being stood on a
gallows and dangled is a sore point for
those who believe that criminals eventually
get punished.

Too bad that those who now pass themselves off
as investigative reporters here in Chicago are
nothing but a bunch of contemptible, craven,
hypocritical, knee-walking, reeking and leaking
journalistic anal-whores rotting head-first in
the catch basin of due diligence.

The Policeman asks:
"What's that smell?"

Only to be greeted by a bunch of the usuals
standing around with their hands in their
pockets with their eyes cast upward as if
to ask the sky, "Why?"

Motherfuck this seething shit-pit of a city.

Flaming debris and bloody shit-mud flowing
through the streets like a river but it's
The Policeman's fault.

Police Like You Have No Friends.

Look.
Point & Laugh.
Leave.

"WAH! Those out-of-control, reform and accountability
resisting Cops are on that RACIST blog being mean,
hostile and intolerant again! Aren't there rules
against being that way?"

For those of you who actually think the feds are cleaning up Chicago... two words...Dream on. John Lausch is too busy doing photo ops with lying hypocrite Lori who again today hired another Rahm appointee to be City comptroller. Another Indian woman of color formerly of aviation. Southwest side democratic scum clout again. Lori is a fake phony who was put into office by Lausch by doing the big show fake Burke nonsense which took out Mendoza and Preckwinkle added to apathy and let lori walk in based on her fake reformer credentials fueled by Rahm’s media especially Chris Fusco at the scum times and fake Bruce dold of the tribune. And for those who say Lausch is a trump appointed guy, he is a combine RINO like Edgar and Kirk Dillard who actually did a commercial for Obama. I’ll believe Lausch is Legit when Rahm, Daley, Cullerton and Madigan go down. And that will never happen. The swamp protects the Chicago democrats.

Then out of nowhere the corruption still finds a way to bit you in the ass. Thanks for the great memories and laughs. Hoping you soiled your Depends again rethinking this one.

One good reason. When your not in a rational state of mind and about to kill yourself you don’t think about things like that. It’s a spur of the moment thought. If you waited two weeks you probably wouldn’t do it. You are also assuming he knew about the two weeks. Plenty of people still think like in the old days anytime you committed suicide the insurance company wouldn’t pay regardless how long you had the policy. Not true anymore

Wasn't Michael Scott notified by the Feds
that he was pending indictment and to get
his affairs in order?

If he was pending indictment, he was under
Federal surveillance to insure his "integrity."

Right?

So the possibility that a Federal target under
surveillance somehow managed to slip surveillance
and commit suicide?

Or was the surveillance conveniently allowed to lapse
in order to keep Scott from talking and to protect
Shortshanks and all the other corporate lick hitters
who fattened obscenely during his mayoralty?

Just like Rahm blew into town to run interference
and protect his North Shore and Gold Coast confreres
along with Shorty.

Right?
