Another Domino?
- Illinois Senate President John Cullerton on Thursday told his Democratic colleagues that he plans to retire in January.
The Senate President’s office did not immediately confirm his retirement. But Senate Democrats said Cullerton, 70, made the announcement during a Senate Democratic caucus on Thursday, the final day of the veto session.
Cullerton and his wife had discussed plans for his retirement for the last several years, his office said.
The announcement comes as two Senate Democrats are embroiled in federal investigations — and the Chicago Democrat has come under fire for his handling of those investigations. Cullerton in August declined to say whether federal prosecutors have contacted him, when asked by the Sun-Times.
We'd be willing to bet substantial amounts of money that if Cullerton was asked that same question again and compelled to answer, it would be in the affirmative.

Only one higher up the ladder than him. Will Madigan be next?
Madigan stooge.
Nothing more.
Goodbye.
Cullerton is going to ride that Federal Train to Colorado to bunk with Blago.How ironic is that?
Inch by inch foot by foot yard by yard. Looks like the old dominoes are finally starting to fall. The Madigan crime family is starting to crumble.
Gee another pol from the Assembly retiring to spend more time with the family. Too bad the Assembly doesn’t have the same ratio as the Chicago Council members who suddenly need to spend time with the family when the Feds are snooping around.
As goes cullerton, so goes Madigan.
Pigs get fat; hogs get slaughtered. ..... Hey, is that the Butcher I see??? I sure love bacon....

Good riddance to bad rubbish! Perhaps an orange jumpsuit will be in his retirement wardrobe?
I hate to say it but I’ll believe it when I see it. Justice delayed is justice denied.
2 filters (2 buffers): Cullly and his wife discussed his
retirement plans for the last several years, his office
said. O.K., perfect excuse. "He left to spend more
time with his family." We've heard that before.
Cullerton, Solis, Madigan, Brown, Burk could Daley be next. What in the Hell is happening is the world about to end? These guys have been reeking havoc in Illinois for the last 40-50 years. What took so long? Oh that's right it took a President with a set to go after the really connected in Illinois. Better days might be ahead if he is successful in really draining the city, county and state swamps. Trump 2020. Jersey and Pa next on his hit list.
None of these politicians have left office by choice. Its always the reaper or the ballot box. In this case I believe it's the feds. Look at his immediate family and the positions they are holding. They didnt land on board positions and in places that conduct business with the state without his influence.
I would like to see all the RATS burn. But I know it's just a wet dream. And I'm too old to have wet dreams anymore.
Another goof headed to the cooking school for nacho making lessons. Sianara sucker, remember you only get the cooking school if you rat, rat, rat. Otherwise it's GP and DP.
The only hope to make the NW side legit is to elect Bill Kilroy 41st Ward Democratic committeeman. He’ll slate good candidates and is the only one with the gravitas to stop the spread of Section 8.
A crook working until age 70.
Must have started late.
Yep they visited him!
The fEds also scare people with the idea of being charged with obstruction if you tell people what they asked you during questioning.
They asked him question thta he know he is dirty and hes taking his pension and running.
ALL these asshats caught because of good OLE Alderman DANNY SOLIS and a wire.
keep in mind a few Alderman are still in play if you happened to be a clouted and like leaking info to city hall.
FEDS are getting CLOSER!!
The U.S. Attorney's Office in the Northern District has a reputation for indicting organized crime figures after they've become senior citizens, well into their decline.
Cullerton has done so much damage to this state.
Do not despair. A new generation of invulnerable knuckleheads will take over.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
At 70 he decides it’s time to spend time with his family? (right before be goes to prison)
Right after the Feds pinched Louis Arroyo (House Asst Majority leader) Offering an unsolicited bribe to a Fed informer wearing a wire. I wonder if they asked him if he wanted to die of old age in Leavenworth. Life is good, until you get caught.
Cullerton and his wife had discussed plans for his retirement for the last several years, his office said.
So he and his old wind bag discussed his retirement for years, now the topic of discussion should be where does this old geezer want to die in office or in federal prison?
Power and control.....just can't give up that power and control......
They have made millions.....millions......and can't give up the power and control, because who knows what
someone could uncover about those very same millions if they were not there to maintain power and control.
Keep voting Democrat......they have taken such good care of the state's finances for the last forty+ years!
That was fast and abrupt.
That catch all phrase “I’m retiring to spend more time with family and kids” is getting old, especially for a 70 year old.
Worked for ShortShanks who may have been the first to use it.
JB Toilette still wondering what the Fed will dig up with his tax scamming and who’s outfit he sought over the years to get the reductions.
I give Turbine Durban another few months before he discovers how spousal lobbying can be so consuming to family time.
Ah!!!!! The family.
he may be going on a surprise vacation to Club Fed in the near future
he may be going on a surprise vacation to Club Fed in the near future
Bring that US Federal Attorney Fitzgerald back , he will put them away .
Another privileged character from the Cullerton family from Portage Park. Cocky family for sure. I worked for Caot. John Hadle who was sponsored by Parky Cullerton and made it known how he got on the job. His daughter Robin was a copper with a bad attitude. John Cullerton is making a lot of room between him and Madigan. They all better enjoy this Christmas because they will be in jail next Christmas 🍷😄🖕
The Cullerton's have been sucking off the teat of Chicago taxpayers since the fire in 1871. The only people he could rat out would be his own blood.(which admittedly would be fun to watch)
Unfortunately for the little dwarf Cullerton, the family he will be spending more time with is in a federal correctional center.
Mike the cityworker
Line em up and knock em down. Gurgle gurgle sound of swamp water being drained, just taking longer than expectedl. Wait until his second term. That’s why all the a Democrats are so bent on impeachment. But fact is he will be impeached by House and not by Senete so he keeps his seat and gets a second term then the real fun will begin. Extra lager or bucket of Garrett’s.
They are running but it to late. Feds have probably had this investigation for 5 years. Damage has been done. Time to get a lawyer to work out a plea agreement
Drip,drip,drip,...
I don’t like Madigan or Cullerton but be careful. With these two gone you will see a reopening of the illinois constitutional convention regarding diminishing pensions. You heard it here first....
De sneer caught parky..
Hadle hated me in 14. but the station secretary hated him, Hadle had to put up with me...
Alderman Marty Quinn (Madigan’s guy) will also be spending more time with family soon.
Fuck all these Demo-rats, its because of them the entire country is so fucked-up.
Littile mike Quigley, what a piece of shit!
Cullerton earned his pig face from eating at troph of graft, kickbacks, and using tax payers money money for sweetheart deals for his donors and cronies.
Cullerton, Burke, Solis, and section 8 arena should all be wearing orange jumpsuits in federal prison in 2020.
Before the feds can even get a warrant in front of a judge, that judge's clerk will be on the phone to Mikey boy. He'll slide out of town on a private jet without even telling his family. He'll vanish for 2-3 days and then turn up in a non-extradition country with a hottie on each arm, a drink in one hand, a cigar in the other and a 10-figure bank account in his pocket.
Was this the same guy who went on tv and said that Blago was the only crooked politician in Illinois and he could not wait for him to go to prison like he deserved.
Whose next Madigan or Durbin? Maybe Fat boy Prickster. Place your bet's.
I want to see Lisa Madigan go down in fucking flames alongside her stepfather. Sorry Shirley. Christmas just won't be the same. Maybe you can buy some new crooks with all our money?
John Cullerton is trying to escape from the web being cast across this sanctuary city of chicago, county of cook and the state of illinois!!!
Cullerton can run but Cullerton can't hide!11
Good riddance to one of the biggest fucking scumbags in Illinois.
The cookie jar is finally empty.
Midget has helped destroy the state and it’s finances while he, aldercrook, sleazy speaker and these other f$&ks made tens of millions with their bullshit property tax appeal firms. These bastards don’t hold public office to help others, the pennies they earn as a public servant is nothing compared to these appeals. Plan: (1) create run away expenses (2) drive property taxes wayyyyy up (3) have the businesses come to you for connected appeals (3) get paid 1/3 of appeals’ savings - so if the miget’s firm saves a commercial property $300,000 in an appeal, then he gets $100,000! Now multiply this by 50 client appeals, and we’ll, you can do the math (4) repeats steps 1 to 3. Do you think these bastards stay in office into their 70’s because they ♥️ helping others? Why did it take the FBI so long to do these wiretaps?
Feds are a good decade too late. These guys have already destroyed the state.
You do know he had another year left on his term? Let’s be honest - it’s barely a part time job. Why not stick around and finish the term for all the constituents that love you so much - after all they voted you in. Hmmmm ... FBI wiretaps got ya spooked?
Three judges get hands one ghetto experience:
Three judges involved in a fight at an Indiana White Castle in May, which ended with two of the judges shot, have been suspended without pay after the Indiana Supreme Court determined they committed judicial misconduct.
After Kaiser began to sit up, [judge] Adams kicked him in the back, the commission said. Kaiser then pulled out a gun and shot Adams in the stomach, according to court documents. The commission says Kaiser then “went over to Judge Jacobs and Vazquez and fired two more shots at Judge Jacobs in the chest.”
Jacobs and Adams both had two emergency surgeries after the fight, and Jacobs was hospitalized for two weeks, the opinion says.
Adams’ whole blood-alcohol level was approximately 0.157 upon admission to the hospital, and Jacobs’ was approximately 0.13, according to the opinion. [Judge Sabrina] Bell’s blood-alcohol level was not tested, “but she was intoxicated enough that she lacks any memory of the incident,” per the [Indiana Supreme Court's] opinion.
Judge Bell was not allowed to use the "Daley memory loss trick" in Indiana.
Maybe judges will get more intestinal fortitude before agreeing with prosecutors to dismiss charges or release people on no cash bond. These three judges only had a one night showing of what Chicago police officer see on a daily basis.
Looks like the Feds want the Old Guard out, replaced with progressive females who are more willing to reshape the State.
People like Julie Morrison, keen on mandatory LGBTQP studies for all students and requiring women & African Americans on Corporate Boards.
Rest assured that whatever replaces the old thieves will be much worse than paying a few extra dollars to ComEd.
Illinois and Chicago are the most corrupt state and city in the United States. Thief's stealing more and more of tax payers money.
Illinois and Chicago are billions of dollars in the red,and so much corruption. Can you guess why ????
Illinois is run by a bunch of corrupt CLOWN'S !!!!!
its a shame they let it go this long. like the mafia they will plea bargain these 80 year old millionaires to a 5 year sentance in club fed like pauly from goodfellas. their families and fortunes will be protected. the biggest problem is the sudden power vacuum. if, like greylord, the put dozens of these old crooks on ice at once, the lightweight new socialist wing of the dnc, like the idiot aoc, will take over like they did at the ctu. one way or the other the old guard has one foot in the grave. durban, stinkpickle,daley etc. a wholesale power vacuum and replacement by vacuous, non gendered, free shit army, blm and antifa types will kill this city overnight. look what happened in the middle east. kadafi and hussein put hitler to shame for 40 years.by the time they deposed their old asses there was no civil structure to take their places and one fringe group after another destroyed everything in their wake trying to take power. and its still in chaos over there. justice shouldnt be every 40 years with a nuke attack. it should be a game of whack a mole with a tack hammer with a nail sticking out of it.every time a daley or vanecko or a ballerina steps outta line they should get their pee pee whacked. citys spinning out of control, this very late culling of the criminal herd isnt going to help, far too late, just going to speed up the kommie control of our tax dollars and the total destruction of the middle class. we need a purge. now. who they gonna call hahaha
Gotta love our potus. Imagine early next year turning on tv seeing all these corrupt politicians headed to prison and our potus springing Blago from the pokey
#inditemadigan
Ha ha ha ha. I hope Blago talked and this is the result, getting his retribution against the crooked democratic machine politicians who screwed him. More to come?
Cullerton was up to his eyes in the shady dealings involving the Water Reclamation District and Cook County in an attempt to destroy a fairway at the not for profit community golf course in order to build a taxpayer funded road to benefit a parcel of real estate that he wanted to develop. It created quite a public outcry in Evanston and Wilmette.
So Blago got years in the pokey for an attempted shakedown and Illannoy and particularly Chicago are filled with pols who have successfully filled their pockets for years. Is attempted murder a more serious charge in Illannoy than actual murder?
Does Cullerton support cops?
And you think Bagoivich is a criminal?
A lot of this Fed Springfield stuff that’s happening right after Blago was teased with a commutation.
Interesting.
Ex-Gov. Quinn, the humblest of all is even in the mix.
Nothing says Christmas like a huge bundle under the Holiday Indictment Tree.
It’s a big swamp. Gotta believe that when some sewage is drained more fills right back in.
U can only steal so MUCH!
Cullerton comes from a family of greedy criminal politicians. Great day when the Feds take him into custody. What took so long? MAGA!
Springfield is the most corrupt capital of any other state capital of the United States.
Washington isn't the only swamp Trump is draining. Anybody else notice (I know you did - half of you are cops) that it is the Feds that are cleaning up Springfield, one crook at a time?

Cullerton supports Cullerton as well as King Madigan's old nut sack
Indiana has some strange judges. Good taste in food though.
