Statewide Popcorn!
- The FBI has raided the downstate home of a high-powered former Springfield lobbyist who for decades served as one of House Speaker Michael Madigan’s closest confidants, the Chicago Tribune has learned.
The raid of Mike McClain’s home in Quincy took place in mid-May, around the same time the FBI executed search warrants at the homes of two other Madigan associates — former 23rd Ward Ald. Michael Zalewski and political operative Kevin Quinn, according to a source with knowledge of the investigation.
It’s unclear what agents were looking for when they searched McClain’s house in Quincy, which is about 100 miles west of Springfield along the Mississippi River.
But the search warrant indicates that federal investigators are probing connections to possible criminal acts by some in Madigan’s inner circle. To obtain a search warrant, federal law enforcement must convince a judge there is probable cause to believe a crime has been committed and that evidence of that crime exists in the home.
This would probably also explain why Lisa Madigan abruptly retired without seeking further political office following a stellar career of never indicting a single Illinois politician while her father ran the state into insolvency.

Couldn’t happen to a nicer POS!
Can Luis Gutierrez and Lisa's sudden retirements both be linked to this? Is that too much to hope for? What about Rahm?
Illinois is 250 billion in debt.... its a little late. Imagine the money the connected have.... ohh 10 years and my family is weathly for generations? Tooo funny... where do I sign up?
Maybe he can share a cell with Eddie, Blago and hopefully Pritzker the tax scammer. Nah. Never happen. I wonder how little Lisa is involved. Where there is smoke....
The AG can't indict.
Wouldn’t do to have to indict daddy.
Lisa literally disappeared. she did not run for mayor, she did not run for governor. She is just gone.....
OT: Did Special Ed strip the 'gator while singing "These Boots Are Made For Walkin'?"
That useless hang-tit Lisa Madigan paused her
headlong flight into hiding, just long enough
to saddle CPD with this bullshit "state level"
consent decree brought forth in U.S. District
Court.
There is so much that was wrong, illegal,
immoral and unethical in how this consent
decree was brought about.
You KNOW it was bullshit when USAG
refused to take up the progressive
cause in tying CPD in knots.
Of course the progressives were massively butt-hurt
in Chicago because Hill-Dawg's sure-fire coronation
ended with a long, sad and sorry fart-noise and a
miscued laugh track.
All about making The Police back off
from aggressively hunting and putting a
powerful hurt on hardened, violent street
criminals like they used to.
Lawfully but ruthlessly hunting, pursuing
and hurting BEE-AY-DEE m/fers who needed
hunting, pursuing and hurting was the most
fun we could have ever had.
Heh...
One such dirty, hyper-violent asshole cried:
"You ruined my life!"
Our response?
"Fuck You... You shouldn't have taken up a life of crime."
Dude caught some big numbers so he'll be
an old m/fer when he hits home dirt again
if at all.
Lisa Madigan (and her daddy) should be looking
at some big numbers too, in FEDERAL CUSTODY.
Everyone should say a prayer tonight and hope that finally these career scumbag politicians will get caught. Hopefully Lisa Madigan too.
Pretty fuckin please, get that asshole. We are long past due.

Lets move on, No corruption here!
One can only hope that the POS dies in prison.
They haven't gone to jail yet and have yet to be charged with anything. Everything will depend on who they know just like the CPD so don't hold your breath. The corruption has been known for years but better late than never, I hope.

AKA, The Rham fiasco
Little "La Puta" Loui G. and his ex-brother in law crooked Maldonado are next
I hear both are wearing depends.
According to a good source, bothe were spotted at the Nort/Western Walgreens
That’s not the Attorney General’s role. They can refer cases to a county State’s Attorney or ask the district US Attorney’s Office to open an investigation of federal crimes. But, yeah, I suspect she’s trying to fade away.

Yes, but an eternity in hell is worse than being wealthy.

My thoughts exactly. Especially with Rahm. I am sure he was warned that he would be caught up in some mess.
A little OT....watch the new show Pearson on USA. The guy playing the Chicago Mayor sort of resembles twinkle toes.
No more Obama + FBI doing their jobs!

She is just biding her time. Sources say "justice" Ann Burke will soon retire from the Illinois Supreme Court and JB will appoint Lisa to fill the post. Stay tuned.
yet......the Madigan-Cullerton-Fatfuk Democratic death spiral continues.
The money-grabbing, power-hungry Madigan sacrificed his own daughter for his career. Sick man.
they always fall short and never land the big fish.
lisa? turbin or ann bently burke will step aside.
Question.
Normally the Feds make cases by flipping the little guys first and working their way up the chain. What if they flip the usual, and try to get Mike Madigan to testify against every low life scum sucking Chicago Machine Democrat Party Politician? Everyone, including the dead and dying, down to the clouted clowns that asked him for a merit promotion? Even Madigan's own spawn.
Use the big target to get all the little corrupt people that made the criminal crony system function. I would love to see fifty or a hundred of these people in jail, with their lives ruined even if Mike Madigan skates with a suspended sentence. Remember what destroyed the Mafia? Their code of Omerta (silence) was broken. Imagine if the people saw that the big guy not only could not protect them, but would sell them out? It would destroy any trust in the corrupt Chicago Democrat Machine.
The goal should not be scalps. It should be destroying the corrupt municipal system, and making it harder for another to grow in its place.
Maybe these stupid bastards should have left the Trump Street Sign alone?!?
I don't know if it the Trump Curse? Or was it just PDT hated the municipal government corruption when he tried to build in Chicago?
Either way, this is long overdue.
These animals destroyed our state with their legalized stealing, kickbacks, bullshit side businesses, especially their bullshit law firms that appeal property taxes for a fee. I pray these dogs get their fair share on this earth before they head to hell in the afterlife.
Remember the Trump street sign? Guess who will have the last laugh?

daddy's little girl not good enough to provide legal help? amazing how 6 nobody's come up with all that jack.
campaign finance law must be non existent in madiganistan.
legal fees would be of a personnel nature. where is the IRS on this?
I’ve become allergic to popcorn.
SSC you need to back off... You are spreading hurtful rumors and while you cite a news source, that still leads to upset feelings when you share such matters!
I REFUSE to believe the party of Daley, Jeffrey Epstein, Obama, Bill Clinton and so many Chicago Aldermen would be a corrupt one! That simply cannot be!
Do you not know that the Democrats have advanced and now advocate that biological males can get abortions (somehow), that borders of nations are racists and must be abolished, that welfare is too stingy hence a need to increase it and that guns must be banned to stop all crime?
How, mind you, HOW can a party with that sort of platform be corrupt? Stop hurting people's feelings!
Madigan will suddenly develop Daley Disease if he's ever brought in to court. Nothing will happen to that scumbag. Only hope is that he rots in hell
Down goes the velvet hammer!
The crime, evil, soulless debauchery that is the DEMONCrat party in Illinois (actually all over the U.S.A. now) is one of "it's for me,
but not for thee" mindset. They have stolen/misused/cheated with taxpayers money and our pension contributions for 30+ years.
May the Gods be ready to strike vengeance upon them all!
Lisa was a made women, what she doin now?
Daddy taught bliss well . Fuck both of them! Let them hang!!
Keep digging FBI, keep digging. There is so much corruption in this State, Cook County and City Hall that will keep the FBI Public Corruption Squad busy for a life time. Common FBI and US Attorney's Office make your bones in Illinois. Make your careers here, prosecute these purveyors of thievery, deceit and deception. Retire and write books on the selling of the public trust Chicago style. Expose the political whores for what they are. Remember Grey Lord.
Rumor has it, they are looking hard into the old tollway contracts. You remember the roads that the toll was .25 cents, would never go higher, and one the bonds were paid off, would be free.
The only solution is to break up Illinois along with Chicago among the surrounding states. Split the debt, divide the city up and break the machine once and or all. Wisconsin takes Illinois from its border and I39 on the west to Belmont on the south and all the way east to the lake. Indiana takes Illinois from its border to Western, Belmont on the north and south to Champaign. Iowa takes Illinois from its border east to Western Ave and from Belmont ave south to Springfield. Kentucky takes Illinois north to Champaign and west to I55, and Missouri gets the rest. Now they would all have to agree to split the debt according to their respective portions. Chicago becomes 3 separate cities each belonging to their respective states and run accordingly. I really don’t think the country would cry over disolv8ng Illinois and all it contains.
The Madigans have destroyed Illinois. Lisa didn’t do a damm thing. Corruption all around her and see never saw it???
The SS Rat Shit is sinking and the likely connected vermin all bailed completely from politics.
Yes, I too think little Louie Gutterratz was likely the snitch, maybe JJ-Jr, maybe Blago.
The City Machine and the IL Combine is going down.
Steadfast but pacing the plank, Admiral Madigan and Capt Burke are sticking around for a second coming of sum’dat hopes and changes - however it will not come in 2020.
New US Atty General in town won’t be looking the other way, quashing, lying and denying, stalling and yammering like Holder-Lynch Inc.
Can’t wait to see Madigan, Burke, Shortshanks and Rahm SWAT-style paraded outside of their cribs at 5am in their jammies and fuzzy slippers.
Only a matter of time for the currently Fed probed tax cheat JB Toilets to have his turn too.
ConAgra Brands, Orville Redenbacher (CAG)
Current: 29.01 down 0.10 - 0.34%
I’m sure there is a certain sergeant who knows Zalewski very very well and may be sweating!!
MM is like Lucky Luciano he’s way to protected he will
See his own daughter in jail before he lets the feds get
To him then all they will do is deport him , oh wait ! He’s
an American citizen unbelievable and people have the
Nerve to call minorities illegal,criminals and a menace to society
If anybody deserves the fucking federal death penalty it’s this
Motherfucker
US Attorney...
Please, please, please follow the money and power up to and including the Madigan(s), Lil' Luis, Shortshanks, Rahm et al.
One can only hope.
The walls appear to be closing

Did this guy really believe he was going to win this case?
Hopefully Lisa gets busted along with her criminal father. Two rotten POS!
Funny on how all of these scum bag politicians dont run for another term, and now all of them are on the run..you would think somethings going on or someone leaked something????
Little Lisa was hellbent on suing to force a consent decree on us but always turned a blind eye and gave a free pass to the corrupt, crooked politicians responsible for our current dismal financial straits.
Raid the Police and Fire pension boards.
Can you imagine Daley, the Madigans, Rahm, Gutierrez, JB the hut, and a shit load of aldermen being taken down ?????
Thank you P.O.T.U.S. and the new D.O.J
A little bit off topic, I apologize.
Our favorite ass wipe is putting up campaign signs in the 41st Ward.
Is jag lips running for something.
Isn't losing the 45th bad enough?
We ain't voting for cop haters.
Its like Daley, when he left office, best comment "Rich Daley had a great 25 year party for him and his connected friends and then walked out the back door and left Chicago with the tab." Mike Madigan has done the same thing for 50 years.................
Stop crying all you clowns that live in Madigans district. All you clowns vote for and keep voting for the clown! They are about to throw you clowns under the bus and get ready to get your pension paid for by the federal government. Madigan will help Chicago go bankrupt.

That was the plan, to end tolls after everything was paid off. But this being Illinois, they figured they could milk that cash cow, and never got rid of it. I hope you are right, I'd love to see some F-ing politicians hang.
We can hope
Won't happen, it's Illinois..... :/
Felony Forgery no statute of limitations is their a Federal equivalent?
How many got jobs with lists being fudged>
Burke will roll Madigan
Popcorn for our enjoyment.
Maalox and Pepto for the corrupt pols and their ilk.
How come Lisa Madigan still has her state car? Red Chevy, dented and dinged, usually parked in front of Lisa's house on Rockwell.
Hell with it. I'm going to file an anonymous complaint and see why Lisa madigan, failed to detect, investigate, or prosecute any incidences of political corruption or misconduct during her tenure as Attorney General. It can't hurt, right?
