Feds Tell Springfield "Back Off"

  • The top federal prosecutor in central Illinois today sent a reminder to state lawmakers on the eve of their hearing about Gov. Pat Quinn’s troubled anti-violence program: Stand down because a criminal investigation is in the works.

    U.S. Attorney James Lewis, based in the central Illinois office a few blocks from the Capitol, made it clear that he wants a legislative panel to hold off 90 days before receiving testimony or conducting interviews of individuals connected with Quinn’s program, known officially as the Neighborhood Recovery Initiative.
So are the state lawmakers interfering to protect their fellow legislators? Or to help Rauner? Or damage Quinn? And can we have this investigation wrapped up with indictments delivered before the election? Special Elections to fill offices formerly occupied by imprisoned officials are expensive.

Yeah, I'm pretty sure that I'm leaving ILLinois. Born and raised here, but over forty years of this communist shithole is quite enough. I'll just leave it to the wilding savages and enjoy a better life elsewhere. Perhaps in a state with a balanced budget like Indiana.

Obviously Rahmie the Commie has personally ordered Eric Holder to thwart Quinn's attempts to stymie a real investigation.

Another reason I will skip the gubernatorial race and concentrate on electing Jim Oberweis. Can't vote for scum!

OT but worthy of note...The payday direct deposit payroll checks is not yet in my CU account. It has always showed up the day before. Now it is payday and as of 1Am no deposit yet? If it is not there in the morning, I dont go to work tomorrow (today)
Under mayor shortshanks the Direct Deposit arrived two days early for me like clockwork.
Is this cause for any concern???

This raises an interesting legal quandary for the Democrats. State's Rights vs. Federal Rights. We do live in a Federal Constitutional Republic and everything is spelled out in the US Constitution.

Enshrined rights can not be Apple picked!

Simple deductive reasoning. Quinn is Rahm's enemy. Rauner is Rahm's friend. Rahm has friends in the White House and Justice Dept. Rahm has few friends in Springfield. Quinn is toast. We are fu€ked.

My entire single family home, tax paying, working class block is NOT voting for Rahm. Last election he received almost the entire blocks vote. 0% this time. The main reasons when I spoke to each neighbor. Crime, your destruction of the public schools and those famous revenue cameras. I really hope you understand you're a horrible human being for letting such a wonderful city turn into such a disaster. The only honest man on television who represents this city is Tom skilling. Yes the weatherman!!

I think you are all looking this the wrong way. Obama told Holder (who should be in jail too) to thwart the investigation until after the election. Democrats and Quinn know there in trouble, they don't need embarrassment right now. Here's my other theory...Vallas was brought back and thrown in the mix to run against Rahm when Quinn loses. Think about it...He'll say he left a bag of clothes in the basement of his house in Beverly to claim residency!!!

Here we go again? Rumors of indictments before the elections of Ryan and Blago, but no movement until after they were elected. If Quinn is about to go down we should be told now for those few, very few who are on the fence. And since Rauner is a RINO it matters little since both are really Democrats.

Be very concerned grasshopper you are living way above your means if you are looking for your pay on the 15th. Change your habits now or you will pay later. Bankruptcy is always an option.

Are you serious? Then do not go to work...it would be great to see the Watch Commander carry you AWOP. Just because it does not show up in your account per the automated voice recording at 1:00 AM does not mean it is not there. They are sometimes updated later in the night. Nothing better to do or do you live paycheck to paycheck like a shit head hillbilly. I am sure your money was there when you called in the morning...don't go to work that would be fun to wtch if I was the Lt when you called.

IMHO, the 'lawmakers'(LOL) should drop the hearing, those puppets aren't going to do anything meaningful against Potato-Head. At the first whiff of something criminal Madigan & Co. will get it buried, never to see the light of day.

Let the Feds run with the criminal investigation. At least there's a chance of someone winding up in the slammer that way: Quinn, 'Community Activists', gangbangers, etc. Hell maybe they'll catch an Alder-Creature or three in their web.

Plus they have that *nifty law* about 'Making false statements to a Federal Investigator', (18 U.S.C. § 1001), which always gets someone taking a trip to Club Fed. That's how they got Rod Blagojevich, Martha Stewart, Scooter Libby, Bernard Madoff, and Jeffrey Skilling.

Quinn can be Blago's cellie (rotflmao).

The state needs to monitor state cash grants very closely, much more then they have been doing, which is nothing. This has been going on for a long time and has benefited both parties, but primarily democrats. And, Lisa Madigan has done nothing. But, that is the reason her father put her in that office, is it not? Money flying out the window for phony job training programs and for things for private interests. i.e. Senator Donne Trotter ( security guard) getting almost 100 grand to build an elevator in his private club. Please stop all of this corruption before you consider raising taxes.And, yes, Father Phlager( I can never spell that name)got one million under this grant.

Appears you are making it a cause for concern. shortshanks has been gone for over 3 years and you are talking about his policies of getting the check 2 days early.
It will be there in the morning and not going to work will really solve the problem. You will either be carried without pay or have to use time, that doesn't make sense.
Just relax and worry about the important things.

FEDS TO OPEN $50 MILLION RESORT FOR ILLEGAL CHILDREN – Complete With Tennis Courts, Sauna & Pools

Posted by Jim Hoft on Wednesday, July 16, 2014, 6:45 AM

Welcome to America!

The Obama administration has awarded a $50 million contract to a charitable group to buy a Texas resort hotel and transform it in to a 600 bed facility for juvenile illegal aliens.

The beautiful Palm Aire resort and hotel has an indoor Olympic sized pool and an outdoor pool. Free Wi-Fi and cable TV are included in the simply decorated guest rooms.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites is set to be sold to Baptist Child & Family Services (BCFS) operating under a federal contract, pending local government approval, according to reports from Weslaco, Texas where the hotel is located. Weslaco is a few miles north of the Rio Grande in Hidalgo County.

The resort hotel for illegal alien children is reportedly the ‘first in the nation’.

The Palm Aire includes tennis courts, a laundromat and a snack bar.

The plan is to have the hotel ready for illegal alien children ages 12 to 17 by October 1st of this year, a mere two-and-half months from now. It is expected the average stay will be about fifteen days.

The Palm Aire Hotel and Suites currently advertises amenities such as two outdoor swimming pools—one Olympic sized—Jacuzzis, sauna, steam room, two racquetball courts, outdoor tennis courts, picnic area with grills and a fitness center with twenty machines and free weights.

Or is the Atty General or a specially named Federal prosecutor worried the local investigation might either bring too much information to the table of not providing enough protection to the Federal end of the corruption? There are some close associates of the present regime in DC who are connected to the theft and misuse. Read some of the names they are looking to serve subpoenas on and BAM! The Feds jump in and try to slow the roll. Hmmmmmm.

The credit union sits on your funds. They make no excuses; they state they will not credit the account until the 'payment' date ON the first and ON the 16th.

My bank, a REAL bank, credits my account as soon as they receive the funds from the City. If it's a day early, it's credited a day early.

Get a real checking account at a real bank.

Lighten up Francis! If you are that desperate for the pay check, then something is wrong with your finances. Skip work and you are AWOL, suspended for a day. Lose a day's pay for a stupid protest. Daley fucked us numerous times and you praise him for quickly depositing pay checks? We might not have a pension in the future. Get a grip on life, kid.
