I’m sure there’s a good reason for this. /s
The Chicago mayoralty (and its--cough--"benefits") is a job poor Emanuel has coveted since he was a penniless Democrat machine go-fer back in the 1980s.....before he became (1) Bill Clinton's national campaign finance chairman and served a dual role as (2) Clinton's senior White House aide, AND, (3) a Goldman Sachs lobbyist.
After Rahm "accidentally" became a multi-millionaire, thanks to a measly few months at a Wall Street investment firm......he decided to run for Congress (was there for four terms).
Hard-scrabble Rahm's accidental stumble into politics culminated in Rahm picked as (1) Obama's White House chief of staff .... and a dual role as (2) Obama's hand-picked man at Treasury with an unarticulated "job description."
Later, when he left the WH--penniless, of course---Rahm held a presser declaring he "just remembered" he really, Really wanted to be Mayor of Chicago.
Then Rahm happily announced he had "accidentally" raised $10 million for his campaign "in just a matter of weeks."
Golly, I hope the poverty-stricken little bugger did not "accidentally" wire-transfer federal tax dollars offshore at the time he was in a dual role as Obama's COS AND in charge of the entire US Treasury.
