The FBI (http://www.washtimes.com/themes/?Theme=Federal+Bureau+of+Investigation) on Wednesday raided the county offices of a former Illinois state senator who is a poker-playing buddy of Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (http://www.washtimes.com/themes/?Theme=Barack+Obama).
According to Chicago authorities, the FBI visited the offices in Joliet, Ill., of Will County executive Larry Walsh (http://www.washtimes.com/themes/?Theme=Larry+D.+Walsh), a longtime friend of Mr. Obama's, and his chief of staff Matt Ryan.
Mr. Walsh, who served in the Illinois Senate from 1997 to 2005, was endorsed by Mr. Obama in his county executive election bid. With the support of some of Mr. Obama's U.S. Senate volunteers, he easily defeated incumbent Republican Joseph Mikan.
Will County auditor Steve Weber confirmed that his office had been asked by the FBI to assist in an investigation, but he did not elaborate on the specifics.
Two FBI agents out of Chicago reportedly spent more than an hour in the Will County offices on Wednesday morning.
According to sources, the Walsh investigation may be tied to lobbying firm Smith Dawson and Andrews, which was hired in 2006 for $10,000 per month to help Will County acquire federal grants.
The firm, which is registered with the U.S. Senate and House of Representatives, assists clients with communications and legislative strategies that better their public policy agendas, according to its Web site. Last month, Mr. Walsh announced that Will County was the recipient of a $750,000 federal government grant that would allow law enforcement and prosecutors to fight against domestic violence.
One of the firm's partners, James P. Smith, contributed $2,000 to help Mr. Walsh's county executive election bid.
A corn farmer from Joliet, Mr. Walsh has supported his friend's presidential bid, and campaigned for him in rural and farming areas of the state. They are seen hugging each other in photos before Mr. Obama's announcement that he was running for president.
The two men became tight friends during their tenure in the Illinois Senate and bonded over games of poker. According to a report in Time magazine, Mr. Walsh lost to Mr. Obama once with what he thought was a winning hand, and then slammed down his cards and said: "Doggone it, Barack, if you were more liberal in your card-playing and more conservative in your politics, you and I would get along much better."
Mr. Walsh denied any knowledge of any investigation.
"I don't have a clue what you are talking about," Mr. Walsh said in reports published Thursday in the Chicago Sun-Times.

Good Lord!!! The only people he knows NOT being investigated for something are Michelle and his kids!!!

What a stellar crowd he hangs with!

[freespirit]

Very interesting. Just how many of BO's friends are either in jail, or half-way in the door of a cell? Maybe they can sall get together and form a football team. Should have enough players, and maybe, Obama will soon be there with them.

[Kbentleyis]

I think the stripes in BHO's campaign logo should just be black and white. That would match most of BHO's friend's attire... no clashing for sure.

I think they would make a real fashion statement!!!

[Annie]

Interesting - seems like the beginning of something...

[Eddie3dfx]

The question isn't how many of his friends are terrorists, the questions is how many of his friends are not terrorists?

Why is Obama associated with all of these wackadoodles?

[HRC4Me]

Good Lord!!! The only people he knows NOT being investigated for something are Michelle and his kids!!!


Are you sure Mary? :)

[pnevai]

Damn sounds like half of Bush's cabinet. This is getting so frequent that if it were not so disturbing it would almost be funny. Is Obama going to say that this is just some guy that lives on his block as well? Better yet is there anyone Obama associates with that is not a crook, radical, wall street embezzeler, or subprime lender?

It took Bush over 6 years in office to hook up with this many criminals, I guess Obama wants to get a head start.

They are all praying to all the gods of the known universe that Obama wins so he can pardon them.

[MS BLUEGRASS]

This photo of Mr. Walsh and Obama seems very odd to me. Does anyone else see it?

Obama and his, uh, friend look like they're very, um, close. But I'm sure Mr. Walsh is being tossed under the bus right now as I am typing this.

That is a possibility and what I was thinking.There has to be a tie there I bet.

[mjno7777]

I guess I don't have to remind everyone to send this one out.

I agree this probably has something to do with Rezko and/or the infamous Governor indictment.

[lynfreedom]

no surprise...maybe he is hiding the birth certificate

[samkm]

Interesting - seems like the beginning of something...

That's what I thought too..

FBI does not EVER just show up to raid a house, for nothing.

[hipelayne]

Interesting - seems like the beginning of something...

hopefully, the beginning of the end of this insanity

[SantaCruzen]

The FBI is getting closer and closer... hum... laundering money anyone?

[Strongwomenrock]

We need to get a list of all the bad people BO knows and get this to the media, GOP, and McCain camp, ASAP! These criminal associations are important to show the character of BO.

[Strongwomenrock]

Plus, I send it all over the net. But we must act quickly! I'm going to post a new thread. Post BO Crooked Associations Here!

[HumbleDave]

BO hangs with all the wrong people on his climb up the ladder. Makes you wonder how evil the people are waiting for him at the top, should he God forbid get there.

[Andy_Licious]

Good Lord!!! The only people he knows NOT being investigated for something are Michelle and his kids!!!

What a stellar crowd he hangs with!

And we're really not sure about them. :eek:

[Bubbles]

That's what I thought too..

Another Illinois dirty politician bites the dust.... THANK GOODNESS. :rolleyes:

You have a point though. From my perspective, they usually let politicians in Illinois finish out their terms before they go after them, or in this guy's case - it would have been a little more "closed doors" then the FBI storming in... It's interesting to me that they are going after Blagojevich while he's still serving in office, and now that raids like this are happening in full view... Very interesting.

SOMETHING is going on.

[Agent 00½ FL]

I find it very hard to believe that Obama can be keeping his hands clean when all his associates are in the poop up to their necks.

[mjno7777]

HAS anyone heard anymore on this matter? I guess after they go through the stuff in the house and link it to whoever they are linking it to, then we should hear something.

[hobbitt]

Mr. Walsh denied any knowledge of any investigation.
"I don't have a clue what you are talking about," Mr. Walsh said

FBI? Raid? What raid?

Too funny.

[brussell]

Wanna bet this has something to do with Rezko singing???:D

Most likely .. here's some info about a "Third Airport" project that mentions both Rezko and Larry Walsh and "pay to play".

Tony Rezko’s Third Airport Plan
07 June 2008

Commentary

The Illinois Senate quietly approved a bill this spring that would have steered the proposed third airport down a path of pay-to-play politics – and certain doom.

I know, because Antoin “Tony” Rezko attempted to lead Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. down that same path two years ago – a proposal Jackson flatly rejected.

Pay-to-play was the pathway laid out in Senate Bill 2063, sponsored by state Sen. Debbie Halvorson. That bill would have codified what Rezko essentially proposed to Jackson, ALNAC and its developers (SNC-Lavalin and LCOR), which was to create an airport board comprised of appointed – not elected – commissioners.

These non-elected insiders would have enormous powers to control the project – including eminent domain, condemnation, taxation, and contracts galore – yet they’d stand accountable to no one.

Sound familiar?
...
Rezko’s model and the Senate bill would turn ALNAC’s innovative plan to construct a privately funded, publicly accountable, low-cost airport into a taxpayer-funded, pay-to-play, high-cost airport.

Fortunately, Senate Bill 2063 died in the Illinois House. But it remains an example of how good ideas – like wayward politicians – get imprisoned.
Rick Bryant is Executive Director, Abraham Lincoln National Airport Commission (ALNAC)

For what it's worth, from comment area below the article:
1. 07-06-2008 11:29
Obama will shortly be indicted under 18 USC 1346, which is the same provision under which Rezko was convicted.

There will be MANY counts in Obama's indictment, more than there were in Rezko's. This will give you details about one of the indictments, concerning the board legislation which Obama sponsored as part of a criminal enterprise. Both Rezko and Obama are members of the Syrian Mafia, which trades--corporately--under the name General Mediterranean and is headed by NadhmiAuchi.

I don't think I need to add that if Obama is elected, the Syrian mafia will be running the United States Government. Patrick Fitzgerald, hurry up.

Below is a discussion of the board legislation by Evelyn Pringle, who published a very detailed series on Obama's crimes at opednews.com. These articles have been cited around the world.

Following her discussion is a link to a discussion, also reproduced, of 18 USC 1346, which, again is the section under which Obama will be prosecuted.

First, Evelyn's discussion:

The evidence presented in "Tony Rezko's] trial focused on his influence over officials in getting members appointed to the Boards. Prosecutors did not discuss how the legislation got passed that enabled the Planning Board to be set up in a way that allowed for the appointment of members to rig the votes to begin with. That part of the scheme will likely be detailed in future indictments, probably starting with Blagojevich. Blagojevich signed the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Act with an effective date of June 27, 2003. However, before he could sign the act, a bill had to be passed by the Illinois House and Senate.
...
[lots of details]
...

And now the discussion of the law under which Obama will go to prison, 18 USC 1346:

http://www.groom.com/_library/downloads/NAPPAArticle-Feb2006.pdf.

This article provides brief guidance as to the manner in which courts have interpreted 18 U.S.C. § 1346, which generally provides that for purposes of federal mail and wire fraud statutes (18 U.S.C. §§ 1341 and 1343, respectively), a "scheme or artifice to defraud" includes a "scheme or artifice to deprive another of the intangible right to honest services." Specifically, this article examines the manner in which courts have interpreted the broad language of § 1346 in circumstances that do not involve the explicit bribery of public officials.

Please. A quick read of SB 2063 shows that Rick is worried about his job, not pay-to-play. The Gov. would get one (that's one, o-n-e, one) out of seven appointments to the Board. AND, the Gov's appointee could not be the chair.

The other appointments would be made by the Will Co. Exec & Board (4), the Kankakee Co. Chair & Board (1), and a joint appointment (1) by the municipalities of Beecher, Crete, Monee, Peotone and University Park.

In addition, the bill was sponsored by area Republicans and Democrats from the House and Senate. That breadth of support would not be forthcoming if they felt the current Gov. would control the Board.

It's possible Mr. Bryant is worried about losing his job if the State takes over.

Halvorson’s "Special Interest" Airport Bill
By State Rep. David Miller

Now that the third airport debate has resurfaced, it’s important to put the latest “special interest airport bill” sponsored by State Senator Debbie Halvorson (Senate Bill 2063) into context. I am well situated to place it in this context because I sought an opinion from Illinois Attorney General Lisa Madigan to determine the correct path for building a new airport. A similar request was made of the Attorney General by Will County State's Attorney James Glasgow.

Several Illinois laws – including the Municipal Code, Aeronautics Act, Joint Airports Act, Intergovernmental Cooperation Act and the Illinois State Constitution –all authorize the construction of airports in Illinois.
O’Hare, Midway, Joliet, Lansing, Rockford – all were built under these statutes, as were virtually every commercial airfield in Illinois for a century, including several airports in Will County.

But SB 2063 proposed a new “special interest” airport law. It would allow “private actors” appointed by politicians to serve as commissioners to oversee the construction, development and management of the Abraham Lincoln National Airport. More specifically, this new law would have prohibited elected officials (read: accountable) from running an airport, but require private citizens (read: unaccountable political contributors and influence peddlers) to do so.

That model – infamously employed by the Teachers Retirement Fund and the Illinois Healthcare Facilities Planning Board – is what landed Antoin “Tony” Rezko in prison.
Cynics might suggest that contributors be barred from serving on an airport board, but there is another problem with unaccountable “private citizens”, “appointed” to run an airport. We simply cannot ignore the history of Illinois politics – “don’t send noboby who nobody sent.” In short, the Halvorson Bill, SB 2063, would bring the “Chicago patronage way” to the south suburban airport, by allowing certain politicians, in state and county government to make appointments of “private actors” to the airport board.

That would sound the death knell for the airport because it would discourage the only means for paying for the airport. The federal government doesn’t build airports, the State of Illinois can’t afford to build an airport, and no private developer will invest in a facility run by unaccountable actors.

SB 2063 was noteworthy for another reason: integrity. ALNAC governments devised a plan, and identified the means of financing the construction of the facility. ALNAC then organized itself to secure the plan and the financing consistent with Illinois law. Since public financing is not available for the construction of the airport, Halvorson’s legislation essentially tells the private sector to take it or leave it. Do business the way we do business or not at all. If you want to do business in Will County you need to “court” a commission of “private actors.” This is the model that is making our state unfriendly to business.

SB 2063 was suspiciously noteworthy for another reason: transparency. It passed without fanfare or publicity by its sponsor, the Majority Leader of the State Senate. It’s almost unimaginable that legislation effecting one the most contentious issues facing the south suburbs in 30 years managed to “slip through” the Illinois Senate without public notice. (Fortunately, the bill died in the Illinois House.) Lastly, on the same date of its passage in the Illinois Senate, after having learned of his newly gained status (5 appointments to the airport board), Will County Executive and former Senator Larry Walsh was so ecstatic that he celebrated and was arrested later that same evening for driving under the influence according to The Joliet Herald News.

The makeup of the new airport board is very important to the prospect of this airport. ALNAC’s plan is designed to protect not only the future of our region, but future airport commissioners from doing something wrong. And it’s a model that is free from Chicago style politics and insider deals.

ALNAC’s participating governments have studied airports. ALNAC has been endorsed by The Chicago Tribune, The Chicago Sun-Times, The SouthtownStar, The Defender, The Hammond Times, The Kankakee Daily Journal and more. They have participated in public debates and conceived a model that minimizes risk. They have entered into intergovernmental agreements of common and shared purpose to create 15,000 jobs during an economic slowdown. They have secured $300 million in private sector commitments. And they have eliminated bogus “finders fees”, “unnecessary consultants” and hidden patronage.

ALNAC's private developers partner, meanwhile, who have built airports around the world, have said repeatedly that they have no tolerance for Chicago-style graft and corruption.

If Will County truly wanted to build an airport, not only would they join ALNAC’s lead, which is legal and tested, they would have followed the existing statutes that built dozens of airports in our state, which ALNAC did and Attorney General Lisa Madigan confirmed. But they did not. Instead, they sought to circumvent existing statutes and create “special interest legislation” that does not serve the state or the interest of the people.

Halvorson tries to defend her opposition to ALNAC (actually, Cong. Jesse Jackson Jr.) by saying “I won’t let Chicago politicians tell us what to do.” Yet, she admits to meeting with Mayor Daley on airport financing; asking Congressman Rahm Emanuel for strategic advice; seeking Gov. Blagojevich's legislative support; and serving as Emil Jones' majority leader.

In short, Senator Halvorson relies on the Chicago machine for just about everything, yet attempts to bad mouth Congressman Jackson as a “bigwig from Chicago.”
Halvorson says it’s about “local control.” ALNAC is run by University Park, a Will County home-rule community that borders the airport footprint, and is legally constituted under existing statutes. Someone should tell Halvorson that there is a difference between local control and Rezko control.

FBI raids office of Obama ally in Illinois; Update: Obama earmarks for Will County
posted at 9:35 am on October 3, 2008 by Ed Morrissey
Update: Barack Obama may have provided the grist for this scandal. Jennifer Rubin notices several Obama earmark requests for Will County in his disclosure:

* In 2006, Obama requested that Will County receive $1.3 million to support its Flood Studies for Unincorporated Will County.
* In 2006, Obama requested $800,000 for the Will County Sheriff’s Office Wireless Communications Technology Upgrades.
* In 2006, Obama requested $1,953,331 for Will County’s Ridgewood Water and Sewage Project.
* In 2005, Obama requested $2 million for the Lewis University in Romeoville, Illinois, to establish a Center for Academic and Community Learning, which is designed to address the significant educational needs of the less advantaged in the Will County region by providing academic assistance not only for students on campus but also for residents of the surrounding communities.
* Another reference appears to relate to the Will County Health Department’s mental health program which I am informed got another $1.95 million.

This would tend to tie Obama to Walsh a little more closely in an earmark-kickback scheme, if indeed this turns out to be true.

We are talking about Chicago politicians!

Chicago has some of the toughest city ethics laws in the nation, but its machine-style politics and laws allowing large campaign contributions have resulted in a significant number of indictments, guilty pleas and convictions of those entrusted with its governing. Over the last three decades, at least 79 elected officials in Illinois, many from Chicago, have been convicted of crimes related to their performance in office, including three governors, one mayor, and 27 aldermen.

http://www.dgapchicago.org/city/ethics_and_corruption

How do we know that Chicago's so corrupt? The most straightforward way to measure corruption is to check the number of convicted local officials. Between 1995 and 2004, 469 politicians from the federal district of Northern Illinois were found guilty of corruption. The only districts with higher tallies were central California (which includes L.A.), and southern Florida (which includes Miami). Eastern Louisiana (and New Orleans) rank somewhat further down the list.

http://www.slate.com/id/2149240/fr/podcast/

More than two a year.
That's how many past or present elected officials have been convicted of crimes in Illinois each year on average since 1972 -- at least.

It's tough to be sure. No one really keeps a comprehensive list.

But a close scrutiny of news reports and other sources over past decades shows that at least 79 current or former Illinois, Chicago or Cook County elected officials have been found guilty by judges, juries or their own pleas.

Some fit in multiple categories, but we only counted them once, in the highest office they achieved.

We didn't include suburban politicians, appointed officials or purely political types in an effort to keep it to a manageable list.

Despite the big numbers, George Ryan is in a somewhat exclusive group.

He's one of only three former governors on the list. The bulk are aldermen and judges.

So many aldermen have gone off to jail that when 1991 passed with none being indicted or convicted, the Sun-Times ran a front-page story.


Guilty parties
Here are the sorry statistics:
Governors: 3

Other statewide officials: 2

State legislators: 15

Congressmen: 2

Mayors: 1

Other citywide officials: 3

Aldermen: 27

Cook County judges: 19

Other Cook County officials: 7
