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)

Madigan is the ONLY ONE charged due to Solis' wire?? Don't get me wrong, I'm glad Madigan is finally getting his due, but one big fish is really disappointing. Particularly in Illinois.
Bastard.....Hope he croaks in prison....
Lisa the booger eater here....
"Lisa "booger eater" Madigan said she'd even prosecute her father if he were corrupt"
I investigated ...I did not find any corruption in Ill. nor did I have statutory power to.
OH...Look....I got a big greenie...OOOOOOO....
And yet another bit of stale debris is disposed of by the obamanation's maniac obessessions to replace the old school grifters with their new school ones.
And then there came Trump, to thwart them and do so with gleefilled delights.

Jake Blues says to stay away from the lumpy oatmeal and the cabbage roll. Also never drop the soap in the shower.
Time to man up and do the time.
They will try the frail old man with multiple comorbidities routine. Even if he has to go he will back in months.
Even the inmates want to move out of Illinois. Good job Pritzker!
The federal prison hospital is in Springfield, Missouri. He’ll probably like that even less.
Once he’s imprisoned I can’t wait to send this POS a welcome home card!
The feds runs a really big prison hospital in Butner North Carolina, maybe they'll send him there.
When is FatAss joining him? If Madigan was a Republican the media would call him disgraced! Fuck him I hope he dies in prison!
See back in the day Madigan would seek help from his democrat precinct Captain who would then reach out to the democrat Ward committeeman. The Ward committeeman would then reach out to a democrat Cook County Commissioner. The Commissioner would then reach out to the Judicial bagman who would request an unmarked brown paper bag filled with dead presidents to be forwarded to the democrat party appointed and controlled judicial flunkeys.
Undoubtedly after extensive case review there would be legal technicalities or procedural snafus discovered which would result in a reduced sentence and zero time in the slammer. This sentence can be expunged upon successful completion from the recorded and not interfere with a re-run for public office.
Those were the good old days when the democrat party were the only authoritarians in charge and wielded their own brand of for hire social justice. Lots of crooked beaks get wet along the way, but that cost is peanuts when you consider how much more money can be made shaking down utility companies in exchange for government approved rate hikes or "legal" real estate tax reduction schemes in your home town enriching the bottom line of your law firm.
There is a federal medical center in Buttner, North Carolina. I went their to visit a witness in a murder case. Pretty nice facility. The inmates had the grounds looking manicured like a Japanese garden. Saw Bernie Madoff the investor cheat who stole millions. The guards told me he looked at all their investments, gave financial and tax advice. Maybe Madigan can give them advice on extortion, graft, and political sleaze. Maybe Eddie Burke can come down and do seminars with Mike.
Won't be happy until I see fat ass behind bars. Behind A salad bar would be fitting too.
I hope there's a helicopter to follow the motorcade dropping him off to prison like they did to Blago !
He'll be sent home with an ankle bracelet and a Netflix subscription. Home Run Inn pizzas delivered. All paid courtesy of the taxpayers.He'll probably bill the Feds for room and board on top of the pizza bill. The grift never stops for these guys!
I predict he will report and suddenly fall ill. Then they will let him out. The rules don't apply to those who rule over us in Illinois. We have given them far too much trust while they were bending the rules to suit their needs. How many times was this criminal re-elected? HE is more responsible for the condition of Illinois than any other politician. I am still amazed that they got a conviction. Good bye Mike...you POS!
He's going to a "prison camp" in Indiana? Guantanamo is a prison camp. I don't think Madigan is going somewhere like that.
Funny how these guys are cocky their whole carreers then start crying like a little bitch when caught. Karma..Rot in Hell Madigan.
Never wish anyone bad health…karma happens all the time
I’ll believe it when I see it. Have to cross the finish line
So Michael Madigan joins the list of Illinois pols doing time in the joint. From Governors to Alderman to State Senators, the list is long. Madigan was crafty but was eventually caught by greed and a need to control everything.
Is it too late to borrow Vincent Gigante’s bathrobe and pajamas?
That's because there is NO corruption in Illinois. Signed, convicted governors, police officers, judges, attorneys, alderpersons, etc., etc.
Good judge.
Many keeses for that jurist.
Diddy can get a roommate. My question is who brings the baby oil?
You are a DUMB ASS! Back in the “day” a Ward Commiteeman “made” Gov’nrs, US Senators, lowly congressmen and you’re saying a Ward Boss would go see a County Commissioner? Idiot!
Well said!
This midget lost the speaker of the house in 1995 & 1996. He used his antics to get it back in 1997. When he got it back he went nuts. Then he really started promoting his little buddies. The job started going to shit & you can see where it is now.
Not all cops hate madigan. A lot got promoted because of him.
What are they going to do now?
