It Ain't Over

The Saga of Johnson's Johnson will continue for the foreseeable future:

• A Cook County grand jury has requested extensive documents about the night that ultimately led to former Chicago police Superintendent Eddie Johnson’s firing, an indication that prosecutors are considering criminal charges against one or more players in the saga.

  A subpoena obtained by the Tribune demands that the city inspector general’s office send over all of its reports about the October 2019 night Johnson went out drinking with a subordinate, then was found asleep at the wheel near his Bridgeport home.

  “Said files must include all reports, handwritten, typed and computer generated notes, and memorandums, and all recovered and supporting evidence including phone records, photographs and videotapes” related to their investigation of Johnson, the subpoena, issued last month, reads.

  News that Cook County State’s Attorney Kim Foxx’s office has sought the reports as part of a grand jury investigation could also ratchet up pressure on Chicago Mayor Lori Lightfoot to release the full IG report. A spokesperson for Foxx’s office declined to comment, as did Lightfoot’s office.

  A Chicago police spokesman declined to comment on the subpoena, referring all inquiries to Inspector General Joseph Ferguson’s office.

Hahahahaha. 

Crimisha, who can't indict real criminals? 

Groot, who has been covering for more criminals that we can count and whose ethics have recently been called into question? 

IG Fergie, who has covered up bigger scandals to ensure he gets a bigger budget and less oversight from the politicians?

Just another move by the Prickwrinkle Machine to break Groot.
