this is amazing, despite of all the controls our political leaders claim to have in place in fighting corruption we still have bozos like rezko and ata making a mockery of our system. i challenge all descent politicians to call for an immediate investigation and prosecution of both rezko and ata...for god's sake what more evidence you people want. it looks like corruption really pays in illinois because you make millions if you cheat the system and if you get caught nothing happens to you. so to all our leaders i challenge you to start putting people in jail and making examples of these crooks because whatever policies you guys came up with in the last 30 years to fight corruption is not working.

Why doesn't the Tribune look at the lease holders for all state agencies in Chicago? You may discover a pattern!

As one of our ex-congressmen told me there are supposed to be "checks and balances" in the system to stop corruption and illegal activity. A number of us see even in spite of all the laws in place that the corrupt feel they can get around the law and use loopholes that do not exist. They feel they can make a total mockery of our system and none of them will ever be prosecuted for their "Unspeakable Crimes Against Humanity". That they feel they are free to destroy, etc. whomever they want. That they are free to use the system as a false front for their criminal activites, "Aid & Abet". That they can force the taxpayer or innocent to pay for his/her own destruction.
The corrupt has made an absolutely mockery out of the court system and the law of the land. The corrupt think that people are so stupid and guilable that he/she will buy into their insanity, "Obstruction of Justice". As I absolutely refused to protect an alleged (how I hate that word) child molester, go along with a corrupt detective who demanded that his words be my child's words and those who violated my body, mind, and life. We have no morals or ethics in the state of Illinois. It is a lawless enclave full of corruption, insanity, and bald-faced lies. As I read a number of articles in the newspapers and on the internet. With every Deja Vu incident. I remember!

When one runs through one too many fires they sooner or later get burnt in the seat of their pants.

What we have in the State of Illinois is the fox in charge of the henhouse and the wolf pretending he/she is going to save us from ourself. I find these corrupt people into criminal activity very obnoxious. When the scars of the victim/target/"Victim of Violent Crime" do not match the concoted stories it tells who is dishonest and who is speaking the truth involving reality. They also forget about "Forensic Science", Time Line, alibi, motive, what the law states, what the Illinois Compiled Statues State, what witnesses state, etc. The corrupt feel they can threaten to have witnesses arrested, scare them off, that it will be their word against your witnesses or you, etc. I refuse to rationalize that which cannot be rationalized, that which is bizarre, and that which is a bald-faced lie. To force another person to commit suicide or force them talk about committing suicide has always been a felony. As the corrupt go for the jugular of their victim/target/hostage/"Vi ctim of Violent Crime" they get their own jugular. As they continue to make a mockery out of the system and law may all their dreams come true and come back to curse them.

Would someone please tell me why Illinois has the offices of Attorney General, Auditor General, Treasurer and Inspector General? I see no mention of any of these persons in these articles. I also see no mention of legislative oversight committees. If these people are not doing their jobs to find and prosecute illegal activity, why have them? Or is misfeasance now a qualification for state office in Illinois?

Let's monitor the action - or INACTION - taken on this criminal offense - and force the issue, if need be.

The general public is now finding out that crime DOES pay!!

Remember this when you get sumoned to jury duty.
