Nervous Pols?
- When Jeffrey Sallet took over as boss of the Chicago FBI in late 2017, one of the biggest political corruption investigations in the city’s history was quietly simmering.
A year later, it boiled over with the FBI’s public raid on the City Hall offices of powerful Ald. Edward Burke, touching off a seemingly never-ending series of bombshell developments, from a sweeping indictment against Burke to the revelation that his longtime colleague, Ald. Daniel Solis, had been secretly wearing a wire.
As Sallet prepares to depart later this month for an executive position at FBI headquarters in Washington, he says there is still a lot more still to be revealed about the ongoing corruption probe. And while he won’t be here to see it, Sallet said he’s proud to have helped send a message to politicians "that it is not business as usual.”
“Our corruption program is extremely busy,” Sallet said in an interview Tuesday from the FBI offices on the West Side. “While there have been plenty of overt actions that have occurred, the city of Chicago should expect more to come.”
The feebs should be doing a lot more public corruption cases, and here in the Windy City, it's like fish in a barrel. They ought to be in the Courts as well - Greylord was shut down far too early because the FBI completely underestimated the extent of the corruption in Cook County. They could have tripled their conviction totals without even stretching.
And there is absolutely no reason that 15 aldercreatures shouldn't be in prison right this very moment.

I don’t think the corruption cases will stop as long as a DemocRATS are elected to office.
It would take a direct nuclear strike on Chicago to eliminate Cook county/Chicago corruption, and I don't believe even that would do it. Cockroaches have increased resilience to radiation.

The feds do just enough enforcement to stay in control.
Where do you think the term " Get out in front of it " came from ?
Sure seems like the Fuck-Bee-Eye has had trouble with
upper level positions. He sure got moved up fast.
Greylord was not shut down because the Feebs underestimated the scope of corruption exactly.
If they had kept going they would have shut down the entire Cook Counyy court circuit.
So they just put a few heads on pikes to send a message.
FBI-Forever Bothering the Innocent
What have the feds done? They let the Daleys, Vaneckos, Madigans and Burkes skate for years. All the corruption on city contracts, and what have they prosecuted? Nothing. All they got were a few minority alderman and Bigmouth Blago.Couldn't even get the city worker/bookies operating out of Shinnick's in Bridgeport.
Sallet is an accounting major. He'll work in finance
and logistics. Remind you of anybody here in management
without a formal police background?
(Jeff is fucking hell on that calculator and Excel spreadsheet)
Sucky Sallet will get a Federal Pension. Think about that.
This is Barry garbage. It's going to take a second term to flush this shit.
And many will hang in the pipe waiting for a backflush.
Stan Polski? No way. He's one of the good guys.
Selevctve Enforcement in Target Rich Enviornment.
Thought Burke &Co. was bad? Wait until you see his replacement. Sickle and Hammer time.
I will believe it when I see indictments.
The more, the merrier I shall be!
When you turn the light on in the pantry all the mice run for cover. Thank you to whoever flipped the switch.
And Flounder said gleefully, " Oh, Boy, is this great!"
That is, of course, IF the deserving heads roll...in the meantime, watch 'em squirm.
Chicago billionaire Sam Zell is raising cash to record levels.
Maybe we should start to do the same. Winter is coming.
It’s the big one wheezie!
Many pols going down in this one.
Should result in another paid holiday for city employees it’s so big.
I mean this is donald big
Couldn't even get the city worker/bookies operating out of Shinnick's in Bridgeport.

Keep Shinnick's and Bridgeport out of your mouth! Lorance Lightbrain
So after two years he gets bumped upstairs? Watch the indictments quietly die on the vine.
Trump said he was sending help to Chicago. It would be amusing if this was what he meant. Break the back of the machine that helped Obama get elected and all.
Well the heads on the pikes didn't work for very long did it. The Chicago Way prevailed in the end and is stronger then ever with no end in sight as long as the Democrats keep control. Hard to the perpetual motion entity know as the Chicago Machine. Maybe once Madigan and a few others are dead, but not likely.
Wake me when anybody goes to jail. These "investigations" don't need to take years!
Two things, Why is Daniel Solis still an Alderman? He has to be just as dirty as Burke. No one would talk about their 'dirty deals' with someone who isn't in on it also. Secondly, I really hope there wasn't a deal cut for Solis because he wore the wire. But it is the FBI.
The fbi has more reports and intel then one can imagine. They investigate shit to death many times not seeking charges. It’s very true that crime runs rampant in this city and has caused tax payers billions in fraud.

Dissing Schinnick's? It is no Beatrice's and is on the wrong side of Pershing, but I always thought that Tommy and his family ran a pretty cool place.
Spell check got me. Spelled "Shinnick's" wrong.
He’s another phony obama sjw entrenched loser. He has allowed Rahm and madigan and John cullerton to slide just like phony RINO Lausch. It’s time to quit believing their bs. Ferguson should be investigated for obstruction of justice in the lieutenant scandal but he’s protected by Lori and Lausch. And where is the charge against Smollett for the phony death threat and white powder? Which Obama ass licker stopped that investigation? Nothing will happen.
Can't wait to see EX Alderasshole John Arena in cuffs
Nervous stomachs, tight sphincters...... gotta love it.
I hope they go back to Shortshanks... of course his Fedheimers would then kick in again.

Not surprising, but a few years back to be a FBI agent you had to have an accounting or law degree. Standards were lowered and today that’s not the case
Who’s replacing him and will he be as proactive in the investigations? Get into the courts, Kim Foxx’s office and the County Board too. Hope to see mass raids and arrests very soon.
Congratulations 95-6 Class!!
The political elite robber barons at the very top are never touched and never will be! They do the work of the deep state communist bankers.
Sorry my take on that is somebody got a little to close to the real power , and they were told to stand down. When that didn't happen the hand played out, now lets see if anything really comes of all this , will Burke's wife be forced to step down ? Will anybody actually go on trial or are they all gonna get plead out ? Will there be anymore players ? Why would anybody who got this far on Major Career type case and then not see it to the end ?
Our corrupt pols will be dead of natural causes from old age before the feds take any action.
Take a look at Lightfoot when she was head of the Procurement Department. Big time shady deals! Only if we had professional journalists in this city.
I guess James Comey still thinks Trump might invite Danny
Solis to the White House (Solis still wired).
So Sallet is just waiting to do the Loco-Motion on his D.C. desk

One very important caveat to your misguided, uninformed statement: he is no longer the Alderman. He chose not to run, before it was revealed he was wearing the wire. Can you please log off of the internet now?
Thank you.

Yes, because you are the arbiter of political purity as it relates to labels one identifies one’s self with.
Why is RINO Lausch going after:
Madigan’s lackey’s Zalewski and Quinn?
Cullerton’s cousin?
Please explain the connection between Lori and Lausch once and for all, Einstein!
Danny Solis retired and was replaced by Byron Sigho-Lopez.
Ahhhhh Yooooo Hoooo! Carrie? Carrie Austin....is that you? Why you got that Ouija Board? Are you trying to contact old Lem? Your late husband. He can’t help you dear. He’s over. Just like your career. Now call Sandi Jackson and she’ll tell you what to expect.
I dont believe anything until I actually see it!!!!
Maybe another Council colonic is coming with the New Year, dropping out for family reasons of course.
Groot Rat might be the unwavering stoolie nobody seen coming, at least that would be the first thought on a few minds.
Even Rahm should be worried.
And the best part, le pièce de résistance, the singing GrootFoot gets to appoint all those vacant seats.
Mmmm-mmmm-mmmmm.
Now if there’s a Fed takeover of City Hall, will there be another $200k office rehab, like returning the ceiling height back to10 ft. from the 5-1/2 ft Groot had lowered?
I am thru with stupid!

You must be a village resident?!
To the ignorant Lausch lover.....Lori and Lausch and fardon and Joe Ferguson and dan Webb are all part of the phony us attorney clique that are all obama pos followers as well as machine democrats. Why has Rahm, the Daley’s, Vanecko , the mob, madigan and others all slid? Zalewski and Quinn and the Cullerton cousin are all small potatoes. And you are an ignorant, dumb ass south side or canaryville inbred illiterate. I have more political knowledge and experience in my little finger than you will ever have. Learn and read Chicago history you dumb fuck if you actually know how to read.
Rahm used the info in this story about County Workers doing private work on taxpayer dime to keep 19th Ward Wunderkind Bridget Gainer out of the mayor's race.
I was surprised feds never looked into it, but maybe it's potentially penny ante for their tastes. Hell they've had Dorothy Brown in their sites for what 4-5 years without charges.

Hells Bells, the FBI was involved in a coup against a duly elected President. Don't hold your breath unless turning purple is something you're into.
Lori is allowing known fixer Ferguson to run crazy doing her bidding. Until Ferguson is gone and indicted for obstructing justice in the lieutenant scandal and other investigations of davina Ward nothing will change.

Chicago is GROUND ZERO for political corruption….
What about the SWAT scandal???
FBI is slow as Molasses in January. They nail one criminal Chicagoland Politician about once every 10 years, and actually think they are the Elite, and doing a good job. LOL a Thousand Times.
