That Could Be a Lot of People . . . .UPDATE!

UPDATE: Alderman. Who had alderman in the pool? That pays . . . uh . . . . actually, given the odds of retiring from an aldermanic position in Chicago without at least one indictment, if you bet on the alderman you still owe money.
But I'm sure he's probably innocent, it's all a big mistake, etc. etc. etc.
". . . a staunch ally of Mayor Daley," eh? Well, then it really must be a mistake. Daley wouldn't tolerate corruption in his close associates. Carothers has already been unfairly railroaded by The Man several times, most famously on the "Clout List."

Apparently the U.S. Attorney's office in Chicago has a 2 p.m. press conference scheduled today, and according to the Chicago Tribune the scuttlebutt is that "an elected official" is going to be indicted.
That's not terribly specific in Chicago . . . whom do you think we're talking about here?
Yet Another Alderman?
Jesse Jackson, Jr.?
Someone none of us are expecting?

  2. Ah, but not if it has to be someone with an "elected" job! They didn't mention clout-heavy brothers-in-law.

  3. O.K., so I listened to the feds' press conference on WLS 890AM today. Why was F Troop there? The Feebie introduced an F Trooper and I was confused why a home improvement scam involved ATF.

    Anyone know???
