Board of Review’s probe into bribes for tax breaks is stymied by employee’s ‘inability to recall passcode’ to county-issued cellphone – Chicago Sun-Times*

“Employee A declined to be interviewed,” attorney Kelly Warner said. “In addition, we were unable to review data stored on the cellphone issued to Employee A by the board due to Employee A’s inability to recall the passcode for the phone.” Warner said the firm’s investigation was further limited by a lack of subpoena power and a subsequent inability to obtain things like personal bank records or data from personal email accounts or cellphones.
