Former Federal Prosecutor Fitzgerald targets Quinn in attempted theft of public employee pensions.
At first I was surprised to hear that Governor Pat “Squeezy” Quinn had appointed former Federal prosecutor and corruption buster Patrick Fitzgerald to the board of trustees of the University of Illinois.
I was even more surprised that Fitzgerald had accepted the job.
Fitzgerald earned his corruption busting reputation putting Governors George Ryan and Rod Blagojevich behind bars.
And for putting dozens of other Illinois politicians in jail. At one point I believe there were more Chicago alderman in federal prisons than in city council chambers.
All due to Patrick Fitzgerald.
So, I wondered, why would he go to work for the biggest public thief of all?
Ryan was convicted of steering state contracts to friends.
Blago tried to sell Obama’s Senate seat.
But Pat “Squeezy” Quinn is engaged in a conspiracy to steal promised public pensions worth millions of dollars from retirees – grandmas and grampas who paid into the system as teachers and state workers.
He makes Ryan and Blago seem like petty street corner hustlers.
Then I realized.
This must be part of Fitzgerald’s plan to put “Squeezy” Quinn behind bars for Illinois’ biggest corruption scandal yet: Massive pension theft.
Get on the inside. Get close so he can get the goods on the Governor.
Clever guy, that Fitzgerald.
“From your lips (blog)…to God’s ears!”
Love it Love it!!!! Wish it were true>>>>>>
I pledge $100 to supply free pizzas to Fritzgerald’s team of prosecutors attempting to list all of Quinn’s thefts, frauds and corrupt activities.
Fitzgerald and Quinn are friends. Your post represents a delusional conspiracy, and it libels the first honest gov Illinois has had in a long time. Find a real villain, Fred.
The 800,000 members of the state’s pension systems know exactly who the real villains are. My post represents a satirical illustration of what the state is doing to us. You are ironically challenged.
No. What’s ironic is the amount of energy spent demonizing Pat Quinn by people who view the world much as he does. Sad, really.
“The Old Magicians Trick” Shake hand with one hand and steal the mans wallet with the other. Mr. Fitzgerald! Check to see if your watch is missing. It would seem that the one man who valued honesty is now sleeping with the theives. Fitzgerald I had always thought highly of you. NOW!!! Not so much. Another one bites the dust!
