Madigan Indictments Coming?
- Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan and several of his closest political allies are named in a new federal subpoena seeking records on a former ComEd lobbyist and his consulting work for a tiny southwestern suburb, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
A significant focus of the subpoena is Raymond T. Nice – a longtime campaign worker for Madigan’s Southwest Side Democratic organization who became an “independent contractor” for the village of Merrionette Park in 2015, according to records and interviews.
Delivered by an IRS agent and dated Friday, the subpoena asks Merrionette Park officials for copies of contracts with Nice, as well as invoices “and payment records, including but not limited to records that explain the purpose(s) and work product for which payment was made, records of wire transfers, copies of checks (front and back) and/or records of cash payments.”
The subpoena also asks that, by March 4, village officials turn over all “correspondence with, or other communications (such as internal email messages) documenting communications with, Michael Madigan, Michael McClain, Timothy Mapes, Kevin Quinn and/or Marty Quinn.”
Imagine if we have an entire summer of subpoenas, Grand Juries and perhaps a few leaks of wire taps and deals to be made by people looking to avoid long stretches in prison.

Madigan won’t get indicted. They’ll tell him to resign or not seek re-election like they told Daley.
Could there be FBI agents sitting at Ken’s with the suburb’s drunken mayor????
There he was yesterday, governor "toilets" pritzker telling everyone that some people in government are "still on the take". What a genius revelation, the rotund one is one sharp dude, all 400 pounds if him. Who knows what the fossil madigan will tell to save his own hide.
no wonder Lisa Madigan couldn't find any corruption in Illinois.
You gotta love the Justice Department under Trump. Draining swamps everywhere.
That’s all great, SCC.
Problem is the new regime will be hard core communists.
Illinois is now solid democratic, run from Chicago, and commies now run it.
Besides hating all things normal and good.....
The corruption and legalized plunder will be worse.
All these politicians are so full of in the baking sun for 8 hrs on a 95° day stink ass shit.Insinuating they are Holier then the Lord but others around then are corrupt.
The wife and I left Illinois in November, We have a bottle set aside to celebrate when the rats get rounded up come down.
I'm hoping that Blogo starts to sing, wrapping up the loose ends.
Ain’t gonna happen.
Like to see The FEDS Indite Lisa Too, The little Rascal !
Bet they all skate. Most corrupt city and state, how do you all think we got there. Clue pulling that D lever was the problem. Now do you understand. The D stands for dumb. Anyone care to debate that fact.
Best place to start willing to bet at least 40 of the 50 Aldermen are on the take, oh hell make that ALL the Aldermen are on the take. Yes even your favorite guy or gal is getting paid for their legislation in some way or other. We clear on that all of them are crooked.
Insiders likely smelled this was coming, especially after Crooked Hillary lost, which is probably the first and most important component of finally exposing all the Democrats corruption.
Explains all those long entrenched Democrats “retiring” to be with family over the past two years ago, including Girl Madigan, Rahm and assorted likes from Alderthieves to State elected.
With JB Tenderloin still under thentoilet tax evasion Investigation, he might be tangled in the web. He’ll fail on the income tax proposal and shamefully, quickly bail out of Springfield. I hate to think Lt.gov Stratton chomping at the bit getting her foot in the door to take over, even willing to squeal to grab that historical appointment.
Funny how invoices, contracts and bizarre accounting practices are only now starting to be collected and examined from the Dems. Man oh man the reckoning. How close is this investigation going to get to City Hall under ShortShanks and Rahm, the Tollways, the O’Hare Expansion and who knows what else. Just about every big money entity in Chicago Cook County Illinois could be scrubbed.
Since motormouth Blago’s out is there gonna be another rush to more family retirements soon?
Lisa I dont see a thing Madigan rooting out her fathers corruption.? You got be kidding me, she was at the trough with the rest of the Democratic hogs.
If they lock up all the corrupt poles in Chicago Dart will have to open a few of the closed jails. Pizza anyone?
Madigan will not talk, he will stall however and maybe just maybe spent a few years at a Club Fed facility. He has had years and years of the High Life and willing to trade a few years for making his family and trends rich at public expense.
Phony big state Lausch has let Madigan, Rahm, Cullerton, Van Pelt, Ferguson, the Daley crime family, Burnett, fat ass Pritzker, the Johnson social security crooks, Jason Ervin, Preckwinkle and others slide. He only can go after small fish because he like Lori is a fake reformer piece of shit. Trump should dump his democratic ass immediately.
he Feds got to round up some younger dudes with inside knowledge. That way they might be willing to spill all they know for witness protection. These old people will just take their licks content in the knowledge that their families are well taken care of. Follow the money trails. If nothing else get them on tax evasion.1
Wasn't it the fat Governor on the other end of the Blogo call trying to angle for the Senate seat. He gets elected Governor while Blogo rots in jail, only in Illinois is that even remotely possible.
Only hope is Blago is passed enough to dump over the apple cart.

Oscar López Rivera (born January 6, 1943) is a Puerto Rican activist and militant who was a member and suspected leader[1] of the Fuerzas Armadas de Liberación Nacional Puertorriqueña (FALN), a clandestine paramilitary organization devoted to Puerto Rican independence that carried out more than 130 bomb attacks in the United States between 1974 and 1983.[1] López Rivera was tried by the United States government for seditious conspiracy, use of force to commit robbery, interstate transportation of firearms, and conspiracy to transport explosives with intent to destroy government property.
López Rivera declared himself a prisoner of war and refused to take part in most of his trial. He maintained that according to international law he was an anticolonial combatant and could not be prosecuted by the United States government. On August 11, 1981, López Rivera was convicted and sentenced to 55 years in federal prison. On February 26, 1988, he was sentenced to an additional 15 years in prison for conspiring to escape from the Leavenworth prison.
This is not so nice for Nice.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
Lets hope Blago sings!
I see all these Darbro signs in the neighborhood and I'm wondering if anyone does any research on this candidate. Not saying Madigans financial support is a deal breaker, but since scc is proposing the strategy of pulling democrat ticket and voting for the lesser likely to win against a republican in the general election candidate (been doing this for years) like Conway vs Fox, Maybe we should employ the same strategy here against Madigan backed Darbro to increase the likelihood of a republican winning later? Food for thought? She seems far more liberal to me than Caparelli anyway. Just because shes a firefighter doesn't mean jack.

If indicted Madigan will tell nothing. The trial will be 1 1/2 years. By then he will cite failing health. He will die before trial. Like Burke.
Hopefully king Richie Daley is on the radar
The union is a joke. Endorsing Fioretti, who is arguably less qualified than a plant, naming a Supreme Court candidate who got kicked off the ballot well qualified, endorsing Madigan, Martwick, and Munoz. Garrido may have worn the uniform, but didn’t bother to go through the evaluation process, endorsing the only judge candidate found not qualified in the 3rd. This is why Lightfoot gets away with calling the IFOP clowns, they are. They control the contract. Vote in the election.
mike n lisa madighan and burke there is a special place in hell for all of you.
It's too late. Illinois has been run into the progressive political ground. Rampant corrupt politician after rampant corrupt politician. Fathers and sons and daughters of perpetually reelected politicians have hurt this state. City, County, and State government. Virtually a Democrat utopia.
This is the year, I move out of state...I would love to read about Mike Madigan's conviction and sentencing though...
KAGA
Our Fat Ass Gov. Prickster was soliciting Blago for the State Treasurer's job and was caught on FBI wire taps. Now the fat, slovenly and sweaty gov talks about ethics and cleaning out Springfield. The shameless pig addresses his court of political hucksters known as the General Assembly under the fine hand of Madigan - subpoena's and all. When the Assembly meets it's reminiscent of a Mob meeting when these guys get together.
Demo-rats, what more can I say?
First poster nailed it: IRS is warning shot over the bow. Retire MM or your fortune is toast
Feds want to fill that spot, like they did after Daley.
Daley was an informant for the FBI....
Imagine if we have an entire summer of subpoenas, Grand Juries and perhaps a few leaks of wire taps and deals to be made by people looking to avoid long stretches in prison.

Perhaps the twerp former Murder Mayor and Shortshanks can share a federal prison cell together and regale each other with tales of torrid political sexcapades...
Deep state and sanctuary cities mess with Trump, Orange man then starts to drain the swamp. Ha ha. Suck it Democrats, and fake republicans.
Jb talking about corruption the rich boy whose mommy and daddy gave him billions, more corrupt than blago and yet his fatass is in charge! Guess money can buy anything, he spent 200 million for that spot nice to be a rich boy and a liar! Just another reason to never stay at his hotel chain the hyatt!
Wow all this corruption upon us and Lisa never saw anything...truly amazing. She is the Helen Keller of our time.
is fast eddie , hispanic alderman spilling the beans
Now way he’s going to jail. It would make too much sense. I fucking hate this stupid state.
Work at the airport and can definitely say this many federal agents are here and arriving from other jurisdictions, God willing a massive federal take down will commence soon at city hall,corrupt county building and of course the den of liars and thieves the statehouse! Lets help our federal partners and follow the constitutions and load up the buses,and vans wouldn't any copper be proud to cuff up some alderman and the mayors crew for starters. then grab toni and crimesha the same way this would be perfect and make the taxpayers who are literally be raped proud!
🙏

Jumbo Pansa has more money than the DOJ...
It is a really big swamp will take a second term to drain a lot more. He won’t care second term and will lay safe to the Dem run cities. That is why they are so afraid of him.

Lausch was picked to be appointed by Little Dick Durbin and his shadow Duckworthy. That should explain a lot....
Why is Jessie Jackson still getting a pension after being convicted and doing felony jail time for migh crimes and misdemeanors directly related to his congressional duties?
Mike,Mike,Mike, what day is it? It’s the day u go to jail.

Hope this is correct as this swamp draining is badly needed!
Illinois and Chicago are the most corrupt state and city in the United States.
The King of Cleanliness speaks!
Illinois Governor JB Pritzker hammered home the state's corruption problem in his State of the State speech last week.
"It's no longer enough to sit idle while under-the-table deals, extortion, or bribery persist," Pritzker told legislators.

For the same reason he collected disability while in prison. He knows how to work the system.
"To some degree, it's [corruption] in the DNA," said ABC7 legal analyst Gil Soffer, also a former assistant U.S. attorney in Chicago.
A direct nuke strike on Chicago wouldn't kill it.

Really you fucking morons? Lausch has been unwinding this thing since he was appointed by Trump without input from Durbin. The Solis wire and the prosecution of Burke is all Lausch and his team. With all that is happening there still has to be a couple assholes spouting crap.
Patricia Van Pelt is much better than Bob Fioretti.
Arroyo pled guilty quickly after being charged and was asst majority leader. People forgot about this guy

I took it upon myself to file an anonymous complaint against Lisa Madigan. I'm doing to the same against Anita Alvarez. How can those two prosecutors be in office nearly forty years( combined) and not see, investigate or prosecute political corruption?
And how come Illinois corruption expert Dick Simpson of UIC has NEVER called out either one of them for their malfeasance and failure to root out political corruption in Illinois?
2 Bricks Short of a Load Says:
Important to vote for Repubs / Trump in upcoming Elections because if they don't win, all these Investigations into corrupt Madiganites, etc; will be swept under the table forever,so keep this in mind during all upcoming Elections. It's not just about the Presidential Election, but everything does trickle down as a result of it.

Because he was smart and plead fast. Got it off the front page so it wouldn't potentially tag his CC Commissioner Son, Junior.
Jr is more than likely out in the next Commish election anyways. Daddy was the power behind keeping him in office. Look for him to announce with either "Not Running/Retiring" or potentially going to MWRD.
36th Ward was NOT Happy with Sr. when this broke. We had people all over the ward door knocking for this guy for retention votes and committeeman. Rumor is Villegas was livid.
