Seven is a Lucky Number, Right?
Mike really irritated the judge. He was unrepentant and pretty much insisted he was innocent of all charges....right up until the point the judge told him that he (the judge) didn't have to follow the sentencing recommendation of 12.5 years - the max allowable was 105 years:
- Former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, the country’s longest-serving state House leader, has been sentenced to 7½ years in prison and a $2.5 million fine on corruption convictions. The 83-year-old will be expected to report to the Federal Bureau of Prisons on Oct. 13.
There was also a $2.5 million fine, a fraction of his net worth of $50 million.
So now Mike has four months to either develop an incurable disease, flee the country or try to figure out how to be Burke's bunkmate for a couple years.

Keep eating that "apple a day" you ROTTEN corrupt Democrat fuck.
Incurable disease.
SO many cops were connected to this midget. They had cushy jobs or were highly promoted. They were all arrogant like midget mike.
Today, they wouldn't be able to get jobs cleaning toilets.
This midget hired & promoted his little buddies. Look at the job now.
Loved power too much. Butted heads every chance he could with Republican governor Rauner, to show he had power, to show he could, not for the benefit of Illinois. Installed his stepdaughter as Attorney General, furthering his power and ensuring compliance from his opponents.
Pure lust for power. He could have retired a decade ago.
Max was 105, recommendation was 12.5 and judge gave him 7.5?
The judge wasn’t pissed off, he was bought off.
Madigan will out in 5 or less and walk away whistling.
I would have gone 15 years and $20mil.
That article links to another article about testimony from Dan Solis at Madiga's trial, when Solis says his sister was the 2008 campaign manager for none other than Hilary Clinton.

.... I don't remember the MSM running with that news. It's true that birds of a feather ....
Too bad he won't be the country's longest-serving politician.
At least he didn’t go the Non Compos Mentis route like FJB has been setting himself up for, and several mobsters have used in the past to avoid prosecution.
the poster children for term limits
Maybe old stone face can call badboyobitch and ask him if he can get his buddy DJT to get him a Larry Hoover special deal.
Little Lisa eating them boogers...worrying that "Dad" might flip and turn her in as the silent partner....
Crusty ole geezer shoulda coulda but dint enjoy the stay at club fed
The best was he tried to portray himself as a caregiver to his wife at the sentencing but the judge reminded him you're a millionaire, you can afford a caregiver.
The most horrible person in this state
"So now Mike has four months to either develop an incurable disease, flee the country or try to figure out how to be Burke's bunkmate for a couple years."
Or
Say hello to me.
Chalkie
The king is dethroned.
Amazing how his daughter Lisa Madigan as Attorney General for all those years couldn't find a single corrupt politician whereas the FBI found so many during her tenure. At least the people of Illinois received some form of justice.
His family has generational wealth, all paid for by taxpayers. He'll do his time fine, it was the game he enjoyed. He won.
Good. I hope he gets a real nice cell mate to cuddle with at night. Maybe he'll get a reach around.
If I was him I would di di mau outta the USA with my millions and enjoy the rest of my short life.
do you rico?
does this mean he will give me back my political donation envelope for my promotion to sgt???
So, Madigan is found guilty of corruption and then fined? Won't his fine will be paid from the funds he extorted from people? Makes no sense!
The crimes of Washington politicians are much worse than Madigan's. Nobody touches them.
This is definitely Mike’s Swan Song. Not sure he’ll make it out alive.
Still a light sentence...Politicians need to be held to a higher standard...their corruption is usually arrogant and this was no exception. Much like George Ryan he refuses to accept responsibility for his actions. He should have gotten 25 years. This is an example of the two tier system for Illinois elite...
The entire socialist Democratic Party is an incurable fucking disease !
I doubt he will serve 7.5 minutes in prison
I doubt he will ever serve a day. First thing, appeal the conviction. At home while on appeal. These appeals can go on for years. He will probably pass away while on appeal. Then the frosting on the cake. The family goes to court to have the verdict vacated as he can no longer defend himself. Keeping the pension for the years he was retired.
Mike is gonna be sent home with an ankle bracelet and a one year subscription to Netflix. He'll die in his bed making calls on his heater phone provided by daughter Lisa while eating a fine Home Run Inn pizza...
Just want one thing
Just to play the king
But the castle's crumbled
And you're left with just a name
Where's your crown King Nothing?
Where's your crown?
Crime pays. A life of living high on the hog and you get 7 years at the end of your life
He will get a tan and lower his golf handicap while in a cushy federal prison near home
I was reported judge gave him 7 years because he saw thru him and knew he was lying
Correction. You or I would've been sentenced to the 15y and $20M.
What is Lisa-kins going to do?
He is going to do over 6 years. Federal cases are 85% before you can be released.
How many individual acts of corruption does it take to get to $50 million?
Glad to hear that part. I only read that his wife made a video begging to not take him away, he takes care of her. My exact first thought was hire somebody , he’s a multi millionaire. Glad to hear the judge called him out. The tribune said the judge called him out and said he blatantly lied and his testimony was “nauseating”. His exact words:
“It was a nauseating display of perjury and evasion. You lied, sir. You lied.
You did not have to," the judge said. "You had a right to sit there and exercise your right to silence but you took the stand and you took the law into your own hands"
Or worse, this fucker will be running the place in six months and he won’t GIVE a reach around. Lmao.
If only USAO/NDIL was this zealous in prosecuting all of the crimes with federal jurisdiction. Oh well, they can’t be expected to work during Pride Month. -CheckedOut1811
madigan should have been a snitch for the fbi like richie daley was to stay out of jail
Retired from the shitty. Well aware of the entire families shenanigans over the decades,the bought jobs and the get outta jail free cards handed to his associates. His wife's video really infuriated me. In my golden years my health is failing me and I'm looking down that nightmare of having to pay for care givers myself. Quite an indignity to a person who worked for 53 years and took care of a large extended family. Health care is expensive and I'm just a simple tradesman,and to listen to this family of thriving grifters begging for mercy makes me want to vomit. Speaker of the house,head of illinois Supreme Court and attorney General of the state with KNOWN assets of 50 million dollars plus whatever is buried in the back yard. I have exactly zero millions and I will have to manage. Fuck these democratic theives who have destroyed my city and state. Don't believe the blue hairs,Chicago used to be the best place in the country for a poor working man. Now it's like Mogadishu. I hope they all suffer. Signed old and worn out.
He can run the Kit Kat ring in the joint. Just like Uncle Junior.
We'd also be eating and official misconduct and racketeering charge as well. Its good he installed judges, for a rainy day.
They should of squeezed him for more and give up fat boy JB Lizzo.
That should of went directly to your alderman to wet his beak.
Such a deal, at least for fivehead madigan his daughter. They give back 2.5M and keep 47.5.
It's Club Fed, him and his friends will be eating Palermo's every night.
yep, walked away with 50mil and goes to club Fed for the last few years of his life.
He's wort 50 mil (that they know about) do you think hes worried about his pension?
He got 7.5 years because the Judge thought he lied. What would he have gotten if the judge believed him.
The feds using that whore mongering pimp alderman to wear a wire on Madigan and Burke sours me on both these convictions. How much time will Solis get?
I think Pritzker gets that "honor"
Give him a cell with Jeff Fort!
Mike Pigget is high on that list
“Speaker of the Jailhouse”
Good job by FBI and IRS. Hope they go after his loot.
Mike is going to the Cornhole Hilton, That is if he doesn't "Off" himself first!
Another democrat poster child for Term Limits. Like Biden, Dick Durbin, Schumer, Bernie Sanders, and other assorted Ant-America scumbags too numerous to list here. I personally would like to see the Leprechaun do hard time at Stateville but I guess that's not going to happen.
Other than eating boogers?
Does Ireland have an extradition treaty with the US? He is probably looking at how East Chicago IN pol skipped to Greece before scheduled to surrender to serve sentence for bribery back in 2006. Article is behind paywall though..https://www.nwitimes.com/news/local/kollintzas-flees-for-europe/article_22cefa74-5869-5a67-9d9d-5f4764f14daa.html
First to talk first to walk
10 of the 20 POs detailed to Corp Counsel Investigations were sent by him circa 2000, including 2 elected officials.
Probably would have been 5 years if he didn’t take the stand
Hey Little Richie D;
guess who’s cooperating against you for a reduction in sentencing ? Your old pals, Mikey and Eddie, and a few others. Now all your corrupt Union Officials, Businesses, and Politicians are gonna be gettin a knock at their doors and an official DOJ document delivered. Tik Tok, goes the clock. 7 years ain’t long, but it’s a lifetime when you’re in your 80’s. It’s a bitch, and so is RICO.
How do you know this?
