Pat Fitzgerald blew away six years worth of taxpayers’ money. If he’d waited another week, he would have had a slam dunk case. Instead, he cut the investigation short, right at its climax, and lost the case. All to protect political operatives. Now, he wants to spend another twenty million dollars of taxpayers’ money to retry the case. Why should taxpayers pay for his mistakes in judgment as a prosecutor?

First, let’s establish what is the real crime. The crime is pay to play, or kick-back, or quid pro quo, depending on your preference. And, it doesn’t happen only in Illinois. When are we going to hear something from the Justice Department about Pete Visclosky with his quid pro quo of political votes in return for campaign donations? It’s actually pretty simple. Follow the vote, and then the campaign donations. The real losers in all of this are the taxpayers.

Further, I am also a little more than upset with our current Speaker of the House, Pelosi, who is threatening to investigate where those who oppose the mosque are getting their money. Unlike Speaker Pelosi, we work for it, and in case she has forgotten, we also pay her salary. She works for us.

What do she and her cohorts think they’re going to do? Throw us in a Gulag? I think it’s time to remind her and her buddies, most of whom don’t even recognize God or religion, that they have nothing to say to the American people. We choose to what to say and to whom. We will exercise our God given rights to say whatever we darned well please.

For now, ex-lobbyist chooses to fight charges rather than cooperate with federal prosecutors
