  1. Bribery and Corruption was (is) the way of life in Illinois Democrat Politics and later learned by Republicans. Whether it’s political or governmental favors, business licenses, State EPA assessments, campaign finance, contracts of all sorts, vendors receiving preferential consideration, Patronage (jobs), expensive gifts, vacations, selling Real Estate and/or property at reduced value and a few years later buying it back at market value, Sports tickets (excellent seats), picking up bar tabs for office parties or just hand fulls of untraceable cash.

    Sad to say it’s not just Illinois, Illinois was just blatant thieves because they control the Governor’s Office, Both State Houses and appoint or bankroll the election of Judges.

  3. Larry the liberal. President Trump’s charges were a first in American Jurisprudence. His charges are baseless. To this day, D A Bragg has not identified the foundation of the other 34 charges. D A Bragg claims he does not have to. A first in history. Bragg is an Affirmative Action selectee. He is not qualified for the position he holds. He is an embarrassment to the legal profession. Even liberals admit that. Bragg’s charges are purely political. This political stunt may cost Bragg prison time. The democrat machine knew this and figured Bragg is too stupid to figure out what the machine was up to. The democrats know Bragg is so stupid that he is expendable. Remember, communists and liberals hate President Trump more than they love America. Communists would rather see America lose everything than see President Trump win anything. Oh, and FJB. Have a nice day.
