Chicago, the city that launched the career of President Barack Obama, now has the dubious title of being the nation’s most corrupt city, according to a lengthy study done by University of Illinois Political Science Professor, Dick Simpson.
He is pointing to the fact that “the Chicago area has logged more public corruption convictions by federal prosecutors than any other city.” The two worst crime zones, Simpson says, are “the governor’s mansion in Springfield and the city council chambers down the hall.”
His research revealed a staggering 1,531 convictions since 1976!
Additionally, Illinois is the only state which will have two former governors in federal prison at the same time when former Democrat Governor Rod Blagojevich reports to Littleton, Colorado’s federal pen this March.
He was convicted for attempting to sell Obama’s U. S. Senate seat.
In federal lockup in Oxford, WI, is former Republican Governor George Ryan, convicted for a complex scheme involving sale of Illinois drivers’ licenses to unqualified drivers when Ryan served as Secretary of State.
In November 1994, when a horrific accident took the lives of six of the nine children of the deeply religious Reverend Scott Willis family, the cover up hit the headlines. Veteran cops, Ed Hammer and Russ Sonneveld “uncovered a pattern of bribes for licenses that filtered cash to the campaign war chest of their boss, George Ryan.”
“Frankly, (this is) the most despicable case I’ve ever investigated,” said...

"Hey, I know quid pro quo. JJJ got a couple cheap feels and
I got inside info and the proceeds from several earmarks. JJJ's

she'd chop off my manhood with a rusty hatchet if'n I didn't."
New Jersey probably comes a close 2nd. For as long as I can remember just about every week it seems they bust another politico for corruption.
Take Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel (AKA as Obama's COS who also controlled the US Treasury).
When Rahm was a (gag) US Congressman, Rahm and his wife formed a "non-profit foundation" operated from their Chicago residence....which allowed the Emanuel's to pay no realty taxes. All the residence's operating expenses were also paid for by "the foundation."
==============================================
Chicago Cong Luis Gutierrez----(latino amnesty champion aiding and abetting building a Third World on US soil)---also paid no realty taxes---but said someone at city hall "made a mistake"..../s.
============================
REALITY CHECK Obama presided over the biggest political heist in US history. The Obamanations (insiders and politicians) sucked up trillions under the guise of inheriting the "Bush financial crisis."
THIS MADE ME LAUGH OUT LOUD Obama's ex-COS Rahm Emanuel "suddenly" discovered he wanted to be Chicago's mayor---the little turd went before the mics and announced his campaign "raised $10 million in just a few weeks." Rahm also controlled the US Treasury as COS.
Writer Dean Koontz estimates that about $80 billion went missing from the US Treasury since Obama and the Chicago team took over.
Rahm was a G/S operator---the type that knows how to make money disappear faster than a cream puff at a Weight Watcher weigh-in.

No no no no no.....”Democrats” not “Chicago”.
In November 1994, when a horrific accident took the lives of six of the nine children of the deeply religious Reverend Scott Willis family , the cover up hit the headlines. “Frankly, (this is) the most despicable case I’ve ever investigated,” said family attorney Joe Power.“Mr. (Ricardo) Guzman was not charged with anything.” Driver of the tractor trailer whose faulty tail pipe assembly fell off, causing sparks to ignite the Willis van, Guzman said he could not speak English and needed his brother to translate for him.
The Willis Family incident was HUGE. And in this case the cover-up was not worse than the crime. It was also obvious to everyone with brain that RINO George Ryan was the main culprit. Fitz was already going after the lackeys who took the bribes for license then RINO Ryan became 'Official A' in the investigation and news. But Fitz never made Ryan's name public. If he had Blago never would been elected (it was all due to the timing of when things became public).
But how the accident happened isn't as it says in the article. It was more than a Tail Pipe and 'sparks'. Pieces of Iron from the rear of the ILLEGAL'S trailer fell off and a piece got wedged in the road with the end sticking up. When the Willis Van drover over it, it hit the gas tank, punctured it, and the Van Exploded -- and also flipped end over end at the same time (It was like a race car crash on steroids). And when nothing happened to the ILLEGAL, George Ryan basically admitted he was behind it all.
I always knew Ryan was a crook and scum. In all the state wide races he was in I never voted for him, not once.
Ryan also killed Concealed Carry in IL. Prior to his election we were a few votes short and Ryan's pull should have made it pass if elected. But he cut a deal with Daley for support of a $10 BILLION dollar spending spree Bill. So CCW went to die in committee, Ryan got his $10 Billion. In return Daley got MORE gun control laws as pay back from Ryan and the RINOs! Many firearm law infractions that were misdemeanors, all became Felonies for a first offense.
I hope Ryan ROTS in that Federal Prison he's in.
When the Rev Willis' van drove over it, it hit the gas tank, punctured it, and the van exploded -- flipped end over end (like a race car crash on steroids).
Six of their nine children died.......and nothing happened to the ILLEGAL....
Gov George Ryan (now in jail for taking bribes for granting licenses) basically admitted he was behind the coverup.
=====================================
Am I wrong? When the Ryan license scandal hit the papers few years back, seems not too much was made of the illegal angle?
No you're absolutely correct. Nary a word was mentioned about the ILLEGAL Truck Driver, Señor Guzman. But keep in mind IL and Chi is one big sanctuary for them. So 'status' is seldom mentioned. IIRC it was John Kass (nobody else would dare) from the Chi Trib that mentioned that 'tidbit' in his columns.
Also, after the Willis deaths (Murders?) all the drivers who bought their licenses (the lackeys squealed) had a chance to take and pass the CDL Test legally - not one applied. And many couldn't be found (Viva México) as the mailed notices were returned to the SOS Office as undeliverable. So their 'status' was obvious (No hablo inglés).
I also seem to recall that Señor Guzman disappeared from the Trucking Co he worked for when the 'accident' happened. And they too were a real piece of work, most of their trucks were junkers with faulty brakes.
Thanks for the update.
Now a drivers’ license can usually be used as an ID—— to register to vote.
So I suppose it was also not reported that when vote-crazed Ryan handed out those illegal licenses, he also knew that got him more illegal voters——one for each
identity (/snix).
