The FBI's case began in 1999 at Cheetahs strip club out of concern the mob was infiltrating the local adult entertainment industry. It grew into a federal corruption investigation involving two cities, six defendants and an estimated 100,000 wiretap intercepts.

Yeah, sounds like your typical local Gov't corruption - Of which there is an epidemic throughout the Country. Interesting that these slime-balls can continue to serve through their trials as long as they don't miss too many Council Meetings. Isn't the whole exercise designed to prevent them from attending meetings and exerting influence?

This strip club case is a drop in the bucket compared to the real corruption going on in City Hall - the pension scandal, lying to Wall Street, use of set-aside funds for other spending, payoffs to the ACLU and on and on. This Cheetahs thing distracts from the real crimes. The pols deliberately over-promised and underfunded the city pension to the tune of billions of dollars, including granting benefits to union leaders illegally and the Feds are spending thousands of manhours on a strip club case...?
