Why would it be right to rob Santa Claus @ gunpoint, just to prove he pocketed a piece of peppermint from Macy's Tree? 18USC $ Title 18>Part1>chapter63> 1342 & 1346 may put both “mole” and federal entrapment officials on wrong side of law!

No one said it wasn't worth a minute of the feds time. They were saying don't forget to prosecute the lasalle street banksters, while you're going all out for the little illinois crooks.

There are those who make a decent living as grant writers because they know the system. What I know about all this is limited to the low income housing construction type grants. As I understand it you pretty much need someone hooked in to help you write a grant app that will score well enough to get you in the mix. You are then scored and those at the top get the grant. It is a small group of developers who pair with not-for-profits that dominate this field. For those involved to not think this was odd is sad.

This type of corruption isn’t worthy of one minute of the feds time.=== Seems like a drive-by comment to me. I'm for pursuing all public corruption. There's plenty to be found on both sides of the aisle, and from one end of the state to the other. ===According to many commenters in past threads.

Seems like a drive-by comment to me. I’m for pursuing all public corruption. There’s plenty to be found on both sides of the aisle, and from one end of the state to the other.

I remember Adams, Jr. saying a court room is a show, he who puts on the best show wins. I can only imagine he and Hendon together. I had a good laugh thinking about PQ’s comment.
