Madigan’s bid to remain free during appeal rejected by judge who handed him hefty sentence – WBEZ (Chicago)

MADIGAN-021325-07.JPGU.S. District Judge John Blakey wrote in a 44-page ruling that, “The fate of Madigan’s entire motion” actually rides on “routine, and meritless” objections to his wire fraud convictions, adding that the former speaker “clings to false hope.”

Madigan is a A$$ and has help destroy Illinois. They should have a statue of him so the pigeons can Schitt on him.

As much as I hate to be seen as an advocate of Madigan, even a repeat lowlife that shoots someone, commits another robbery, etc. seems to get out of custody with sloppily enforced home confinement, electronic monitoring and so on. I seriously doubt Gramps is going to cut off an ankle bracelet and flee IL as others have.

I still think his sentence was too lenient. Drain his bank accounts and put it toward people who’s electric rates got hiked and who need it.
