Madigan Appeal Denied
Looks like he's going to serve the majority of his sentence:
Chicago’s federal appeals court on Monday pointed to a hidden scheme to “exchange enormous political influence within the Illinois General Assembly for over $3 million of benefits” as it upheld the historic conviction of former Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan.
A three-judge panel summarily dismissed arguments from the once-powerful Democrat’s lawyers in a 29-page opinion less than three weeks after hearing oral arguments. The 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruling could soon lead to a bid by Madigan to the U.S. Supreme Court.
“Michael Madigan spent nearly a decade leveraging his power as one of the highest-ranking public officials in Illinois in exchange for over $3 million of financial benefits for his close political allies,” Judge Michael Scudder wrote. “…Madigan insists that this was run-of-the-mill politics. But a jury of twelve Illinois residents saw the evidence differently. So do we.”
The lawyers may ask for a full 7th Circuit hearing before appealing to the US Supreme Court, but the avenues appear to be rapidly closing and Mikey may do quite a bit of the seven-and-one-half years in the meantime.
You can still write to Mike at the prison camp (it has no fencing):
- 446 Greenbag Road, Route 857 Morgantown, WV 26501

Mikey can thank Danny Solis for his down fall. Old Danny and his family are still walking around without a worry and benefiting from Danny's favors that he acquired when he was Alderman. If that would have happened back in the day of the old 1st ward, guess where good old danny would be.
“Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike! What day is it, Mike? Uh huh huh HAAAA!”

Send him stuff ,yeah right!!!
Stuff like my used toilet paper???!!!
I love SCC's humor! -Like anyone gonna send Mikey some commissary $.
You would think that Mike would have had more influence over the judicial system than Eddie had?
Maybe Eddie just did nore favors for the law firms and kids of our judicial elite than Mike did?
Hopefully he's getting it now the same way he gave it to Illinois residents for years....without LUBE!
Anybody know where to get the prison size jar of lube?
Hope that makes it through the censors.
Lil man earned his spot at club fed enjoy your time
come on guys, it's time to be magnanimous. Send him a postcard when you are on vacation "The freedom beautiful here" . Not traveling, send him hometown postcards "Chicago is beautiful, without you" or "Enjoyed a delicious meal at XXXXX, how's the chow there?"
Misprint on prison address
It’s 446 Dirtbag Road
I'm actually surprised.
And he amassed generational wealth while in office. During the trial it was said his net worth is $40 million. He gutted the state by giving unqualified stooges high paying jobs and dolling out state contracts to his contributors. Lets nor forget when he shut down the state with that idiot Rauner so no bills got paid for two years. Bad guy!
Eddie had a Supreme in his back pocket
Ha! Fuck the Springfield Leprechaun, long may he rot!
So lets see, A jury found this asshole guilty, appeal denied by a three panel judge and hopefully the Supreme Court will DENY to hear the case!! Why waste anymore time on this asswipe that screwed Illinois residents over for yrs.
One less Democrat crook and who cares and may he come out of prison in a pine box!
Too bad. So sad.
"Greenbag" Road - somebody at BOP had a sense of humor during inmate assignments.
There's some pretty good deals on that list. Cheaper than on the outside, lol.
Looks like Mike Madigan will miss another St. Patrick’s Day luncheon hosted by the Celtic Legal Society of Chicago. Too bad…so sad…not.
It’s a tax deduction next year
Never say never
Still remember the days when as one of Richie Stein's underpaid staffers we were required to shakedown the firm's consultants for to buy Madigan dinner-tickets. Seemed like Mike had a fundraiser every three months, like clockwork, shaking the money tree in Chicago real estate development world.
The Solis wire should've caught a lot more of these thieves up in their criminality. Don't get me wrong, I'm happy that Mr. Madigan was brought to justice after a literal life of crime, but you'd think others would've been locked up too.
There are a number of annoying things you can send him to remind him he's locked up. We missed his birthday, April 19, but there's always a card for next year.
April 19, 1942 is his DOB. Drop him a card next year!
Wonder how his daughter " Miss Bugger Hunter " is handling it.
she is a big pos who gave us the consent degree
But there are so many more of these motherfuckers out there.
hey mikey, I want that envelope I gave you back !!!
Rick O’Shay Says:
Hopefully the Feds will indict him on RICO / Racketeering charges soon. This Garden Party Incarceration is simply not enough for a lifetime of crime.
Trump will pardon him once he gets the usual “I’m being persecuted just like you were” plea visible to Trump. Maybe the booger eater will hit Fox and friends for Daddy.
If he doesn’t get a pardon or commutation, he’ll get out under the law passed in trumps first term, at the pleading of Kim Kardashian, that gives special consideration to age. That is exactly how Burke got out so quick.
