The Madigan investigation is also targeting AT&T.

Seems AT&T hired the same Madigan connected 'consultants' used by ComEd & Exelon to funnel bribes to Madigan while they pressed the Illinois legislature for Swampy favors & legislation.

AT&T was supeonaed earlier in 2016 (no date identified) but DOJ demanded Madigan's office turn over AT&T documents last Friday.

AT&T claims it is cooperating with the investigation...

Eileen Mitchell, the President of AT&T Illinois is a former Madigan staffer & was Chief of Staff for former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as famous Clintonite who surprisingly chose to not run for reelection last year during these investigations!

US Attorney John Lausch says his investigation is not stopping with ComEd & their bribes of Madigan.
In addition to AT&T, Walgreens, Rush University Medical Center & others are also under investigation.

The investigation also ties into Madigan's private law firm which handled property tax appeals & the corruption of other politicians including Chicago alderman.

A ComEd lobbyist kept a "magic lobbyist list" of people you had to hire to get Madigan's support in Illinois!

He also kept a list of key fundraisers for Illinois House Democrats who were loyal to Madigan!

The lobbyists are playing the 'we did nothing wrong' game at this point. Even claiming that no one would ever ask Madigan for favors! Why ask when you know you have to pay up first!

So AT&T didn't ask for anything, sure. Other than a bill they desperately wanted about landlines. They hired more than a dozen former Madigan aides to make sure the right levers of power were pulled. It not only passed but with margin to override the Governor's veto!

You can be certain that AT&T is involved in other states where being a part of the Swamp works wonders. As well as the federal goverment too!

Walgreens also paid Madigan's former aides to lobby over an effort regulate pharmacies to reduce errors.

Madigan's ally McClain had his home raided in May 2019 & his phones were wiretapped too.

But this goes back further, an accidentally unsealed warrant from Jan. 2019 showed an Alderman that flipped & was wearing an FBI wire to meet with Madigan's people since 2014.

Worse this case shows how cheap these politicians sell us. Madigan & his allies got $1.32M in bribes for $150M in benefits.

Not even a penny on the dollar. I guess that's why they sell out in bulk!
