Do I hear 5, 5 governors that have been indicted!
Illinois’ Republican Congressional delegation in October wrote a letter to the U.S. Attorney’s office requesting Pritzker be investigated
Oh boy I love political circus investigations.
This isn't surprising at all. This entire state is corrupt.
Honestly I'd be surprised to see a headline saying the governor of Illinois wasn't committing tax fraud.
I would consider filing investigations against political opponents to be corrupt, yes.
Yo, let him legalize weed before they take him down.
Sure, let's say the investigation is corrupt. But I wouldn't be surprised if a federal audit on Pritzker led to him being founded on white-collar crime either.
It's pot calling the kettle black. It doesn't matter if you're red or blue, you're probably part of the machine.
I heard about this yesterday on the radio and IIRC, Pritzger isn't being personally accused of wrongdoing. This scandal has been known since the election.
As shady as it is, I think it's likely that he was following the letter of the law, but that law happened to have a loophole, which was exploited here. It's shady and morally questionable at best, and I certainly don't like it. I just have my doubts whether what happened here really constitutes as corruption.
Having a billionaire venture capitalist representing the Democratic party never seemed like a good idea to me and I voted for someone different in the primary. Still, at least he's no Rauner or some other Republican.
