‘I do not think we should talk in person or on the phone,’ ex-top aide to Madigan was warned after asking about federal probe – Chicago Sun-Times

Jurors heard a colorful bit of testimony from retired FBI Special Agent Brendan O’Leary. The agent had testified Thursday that former House Speaker Michael Madigan was “different from any other politician I’ve seen,” because he didn’t use a cellphone or send emails or text messages. Monday, O’Leary returned to the stand and took the description further, explicitly comparing Madigan to “a head of a mafia family.”
