New charge filed against Mike Madigan as AT&T Illinois agrees to pay $23 million fine – Chicago Sun-Times

Former Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan The utility arranged for an ally of Madigan’s, former state Rep. Eddie Acevedo, to receive $22,500 as key legislation moved through Springfield. AT&T Illinois “knew that Madigan’s support was essential to their legislative success,” as his office had previously stopped key legislation from moving forward.

Madigan was an award worthy parasite! He put the arm on anything that moved. Excelon, AT&T. I’m surprised he didn’t go after Exon or RDSA!

The slow walking of this trial and Burke trial and the other slime machine Democrats is disgusting. They will never spend a day in prison. We can urinate on their graves though.

Dead before trial. Too sick to stand trial. Mentally incompetent to stand trial. The usual politician’s defense.

Oh well. At least we can take comfort from JP having told us that this sort of thing doesn’t happen any more…

He’ll never do a day behind bars. At the pace this entire investigation is moving he’ll claim health issues to delay everything once a trial starts. He has gamed the system his entire life, and that’s not going to stop now. Still, he can’t be sleeping as fitfully as he once did.
