See Ya Mike!

The court rules he can start serving his sentence while he appeals:

• A federal appeals court has rejected former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan’s bid to remain free while challenging his historic corruption conviction, meaning the country’s longest-serving state House leader is almost certainly headed to prison this month.

  The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals had appeared to be the 83-year-old’s last, best hope of remaining free. But the court denied Madigan’s request without explanation in an order Friday.

  It’s not clear where Madigan will serve his prison sentence, but his lawyers have asked that he be sent to a prison camp in Terre Haute, Indiana.

Any bets on a "medical emergency" in the coming days? We've heard that Federal prisons have mediocre medical facilities at best, although up until a number of months ago, we heard that they'd pay for your transition surgery. Darn that Trump! 

(we might have made that last part up - it was probably Fata$$'s IDOC doing the trans surgeries)
