“Petitioners are asking this Court to ignore the law and appoint a special prosecutor citing public outrage and the will of multiple political figures as support for their position,” the 24-page filing from from Cook County State’s Attorney Eileen O’Neill Burke read. “Illinois law simply does not permit prosecutors to initiate criminal investigations and bring prosecutions because the general public and elected officials would like them to.”
Democrats don’t believe in the law unless they want to use it against their opponents!!

Eileen O’Neill Burke seems to be firmly planted in reality, compared to these particular petitioners and Democrats in general who never consider common sense and recoil from reality.

First of all, who will be paying for this special prosecutor? Cook county States Attorney? I’m no lawyer, but it seems to me that a local prosecutor charging federal departments and employees will not have a lot of success. And cost a lot of resources, time and money. So, it’s money down the drain. The chief proponents of this are attorneys who stand to profit with civil suits. What would be their take? If these cases then have to go to appeal, more money, less chance of success if federal.
A largely unasked question is becoming glaring: Is Illinois doing all it should to use artificial intelligence to make government cost less and work better? So far, the evidence says no.
