* Illinois Review…
A controversy that erupted in early September over Cook County GOP Chairman Aaron Del Mar appointing a 7th Ward former Democrat as the Ward’s new GOP Committeeman heated up more this week, when Del Mar abruptly stripped Charon Bryson of her new position - a move Bryson is resisting.
Bryson said she was ousted Monday because of dispute between Cook County GOP co-chairman Darnell Macklin and a family member. The family member is Dorian Myrickes, who is the father of Bryson’s children, she said.
Macklin then allegedly threatened Bryson, saying “I will ruin your family,” she claims. Bryson said that when she made that known to the ILGOP and the Cook County GOP, they did nothing.
“I thought I was appointed to change the mindset of African-American voters in the ward because of my community involvement and dedication to my ward,” Bryson told Ilinois Review. “In turn, they removed Dorian Myrickes and Nicholas Myrickes from early voting judges and removed me from the 7th ward committeeman.”
* Chairman Del Mar explained to IR that Bryson was removed because she attempted to appoint Democrats to Republican election judge slots. “That is simply unacceptable,” Del Mar said.
But, wait, there were just 196 Republican ballots requested in the entire 7th Ward this past primary. That’s not exactly a huge pool to choose from, compared to the 5,536 Democratic ballots. There are 46 precincts in the 7th Ward and many of them saw just 1, 2 or 3 GOP ballots cast.
So, it would seem to me that if the county GOP was interested in expanding the party, they’d naturally have to accept local converts from the Democratic side, including very recent converts.
* Either they’re complete goofballs or something else happened. I’m not gonna speculate, but a black woman claiming that a party official threatened to “ruin” her family just days after the big blowup over Rauner’s alleged threat to “hurt you and your family” if a former employee filed a lawsuit, the unruly mob at the debate last night and the story about the armed private detective allegedly intimidating Libertarian petition passers all add up to a possible real problem here.

Quinn for Illinois Statement Regarding Bruce Rauner’s Deception About Threatening a Woman
No More Hiding: Release Your Deposition, Mr. Rauner
CHICAGO - Republican billionaire Bruce Rauner made a stunning and false statement last night in explaining the threats he made - according to sworn testimony by witnesses under oath - against a woman executive at one of his companies who he fired after she wouldn’t lay off enough workers at his company. Communications Director Brooke Anderson responded with the below statement and a fact-check on Rauner’s false claims:
“Bruce Rauner deceived voters last night - period.
“Mr. Rauner said this was a frivolous lawsuit, when in fact he settled the lawsuit for more than $500,000. He implied the allegations of his threatening this woman were dismissed when in fact the judge did not address those threats and rather confirmed that Rauner played hardball every step of the way. He called the accusations false - yet he ordered his own deposition in the case to be sealed in court and hidden away from public view.
“Mr. Rauner’s deception last night about this serious case of alleged wrongdoing makes it even more urgent that his deposition be immediately released to the people of Illinois.
“The issue of how Bruce Rauner treated a female executive is too important to be swept under the rug. Release the deposition, Mr. Rauner.”
Rauner’s False Claims - and the Facts He Hid
Last night, Bruce Rauner said, “Let me be clear, you are running an ad about a false accusation, a frivolous lawsuit that was thrown out in court by a judge who dismissed it on summary judgment.” Let’s take it one by one.
Rauner Claim: “False accusation”
Fact: Witnesses testified under sworn oath in a court of law that Rauner made these threats. Is Mr. Rauner saying that these witnesses perjured themselves?
Rauner Claim: “Frivolous lawsuit”
Fact: Bruce Rauner settled this lawsuit for half a million dollars and went to great lengths to put his own deposition under seal. If the claims are so frivolous why did he pay half a million dollars to make them go away, and why did he seal the deposition?
Rauner Claim: “Dismissed it on summary judgment”
Fact: The judge never ruled on the threats made to the woman executive by Rauner. Indeed, the judge said that Rauner played “hardball” with the woman executive every step of the way. Parts of the lawsuit that were dismissed were done so based on legal technicalities.

Lots going on with the same MO…let’s not forget;
Rauner, “…I want to get to know them, their families, their hopes, their dreams, their fears, their weaknesses, their vulnerabilities. I want to get to know them well.”
Rauner sure loves to know about families, and weaknesses. Rauner wants to know fears, while twisting and possibly breaking arms…
Troubling.

What’s really funny is that Del Mar is considered the “Democrat” wing of the Cook GOP. He held a fundraiser for Hillary Clinton just before being elected Palatine Committeeman.
He and William J. Kelly should be forced to co-habitat a small island.

It is an elected office, correct? So, the appointee remains until the next election, right?
Or am I missing something, Oswego Willy?
- 47th Ward - Wednesday, Oct 15, 14 @ 1:52 pm:
My hunch all along was that Rauner’s said what was sworn to in the deposition. Then a severance agreement was reached that included a confidentiality clause and a much bigger pile of dough for the plaintiff. The accusation was never repeated.
That’s just my theory though. Why is it only wealthy people get court records sealed? Aren’t those supposed to be public documents, open for inspection?
Maybe someday we’ll find out. I wonder if Rod McCullough ever interviewed for a consulting gig with the Rauner campaign?

With these kinds of people running the party is it any surprise the Cook GOP is a complete and utter mess? I’m not a Proft fan, but he said it best years ago to Jeff Berkowitz, the GOP in Illinois is more like a loose confederation of warlords than a coherent party.

The spots for udges elecion judges are difficult to fill and party affiliation is often ignored. For Del Mar to use this as an excuse for firing someone is suspect, especially on the heels of the Rauner story. Can’t believe they went there.
Did he really think that no one would find out?

I also love how the Chicago Tribune went to court in 2004 to get Jack Ryan child custody files unsealed, but won’t lift a finger to unseal a Rauner deposition which might actually shine light on Rauner’s fitness for office.

According to the underlying story, it is an elected position.

Wumpus, $500,000 for a baseless suit is a very large settlement.
If they think defense fees/costs are going to be that high, there remain very serious issues.
- Louis G Atsaves - Wednesday, Oct 15, 14 @ 3:21 pm:
Rauner “ordered” the court to seal the records and/or deposition?
Yeah. Right.
And demanding that Rauner release depositions in a settlement which included a confidentiality agreement is a non-starter, but a great way of slinging mud through the art of distraction. You would need the permission of multiple defendants and the plaintiff to make that happen, or an impossibility.
The Quinnsters are now very busy “explaining” why their dirty malicious ad is somehow credible in the face of summary judgment orders to the contrary. Stupid to bring it up during the debate. The tree fell in the forest. Quinn pointed it out. Now people are asking serious questions about it. And Quinn’s camp is now having trouble answering questions about the credibility of the charges.
How about this question: Why are they still running the ad over the objections of NBC5?
What remains interesting is if this was all sealed through a confidential settlement, and it appears it was, how did some of this “confidential” stuff find daylight? Who violated the agreement? A circuit court clerk? A party to the proceedings?
- Louis G Atsaves - Wednesday, Oct 15, 14 @ 3:25 pm:

Gooner: To make confidentiality a part of any settlement agreement, EVERYONE has to agree to it, including the court. Or am I missing something here?
Who broke the agreement? Most confidentiality agreements call for return of settlement monies, so only an insane plaintiff would break it. No defendant would break it. That leaves a circuit court clerk or someone working for a clerk’s office.
Hmmm!
OW: Rauner like everyone else has to honor the settlement agreement which includes confidentiality. That means he just can’t disclose without the permission of everyone else.
With the selective release of “confidential” information sealed under court order, whodunnit? Some Democrat operative who peddled the story to the Yellow Journalists that published it?

Here is the full statement by Del Mar quoted on Illinois Review:
“We gave Charon Bryson the opportunity to be a GOP ward committeeman and prove her Republican credentials. Unfortunately, her actions and behavior were unbecoming a Republican ward committeeman, so I was forced with a difficult decision and I removed her from that position.”
Rich Miller, why did you misrepresent Del Mar’s statement? The full statement gives more context than your summary.
- Gooner - Wednesday, Oct 15, 14 @ 3:44 pm:
Louis,
I’m trying hard to be respectful, but you are posting things that are utterly ridiculous.
Louis, both you and I know that defendants demand confidentiality. A plaintiff who wants to take the money nearly always agrees to it.
The idea that confidentiality has some sort of joint blame is ridiculous, and you know it.

Maybe so, but best thing NOT to do is exacerbate things and create a completely unnecessary controversy by removing a Committeeman you appointed just a month or so ago (asserting that you are recruiting minorities with Democratic voting records) for the offense of seeking to recruit MORE people with Democratic voting records in a Ward where you can’t fill all the slots with Republicans anyway. The reason looks phony as a three dollar bill, making the reason sure look the one the Committeeman gave, a petty power play by a crony of yours that you installed as County Vice-Chairman, the very person who RECOMMENDED THE Committeeman just a month ago. Plus, you have now removed an (African-American)(female)(defecting Democrat) and created bad publicity just before a close election in which your gubernatorial candidate is affirmatively reaching out to African-Americans and women voters with internet ads and BIG newspaper ads on the VERY DAY you engage in the removal.
Stupid is as stupid does.

The former committeeman was not removed for turning Democrats into Republicans. That is silly to even suggest such a thing considering the Republicans have recruited thousands of new minorities this year. She was removed because she changed the election judge applications and attempted to assign people who are STILL Democrats to Republican election judge positions.
The goal here is an honest election and believe me, the minority communities care about this too! They too are tired of one party rule in Chicago.
