And a little over a year from now, Madigan is scheduled to stand trial in a case that federal prosecutors have been building for the better part of a decade. Along the way, the wide-ranging probes of Madigan and his associates have nabbed more than a dozen other Democratic politicians, lobbyists and business executives, upending Chicago and Illinois politics.
There should be a state holiday celebration for Madigan. It could be called Illinois Corruption Day, let all government employees have the day off to celebrate. What he did was standard operating procedure in Illinois. If you do not like it leave or stay and get laid.

The massive slow-walk of this case is disgusting. Even when Madigan is eventualy convicted he will spend minimal time in prison before he dies. Clearly if you are a Democrat the corrupt system will protect and coddle.

I doubt Madigan will ever spend a day in court. His lawyers will use every delay tactic they can, and then, after they’ve exhausted every possibility, Madigan will produce a doctor willing to testify he has some mysterious and incurable illness that prevents his presence. All we can do is take comfort that the scumbag is burning through cash on legal fees. Sweet dreams Mike.
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.
