* Nothing too surprising here…
Cullerton's defense attorney, John Theis, pleads not guilty for his client. Aug. 29 status hearing in front of Judge Gettleman. He has not been processed by US Marshalls yet - after this will be processed by FBI. $10K unsecured bond. (Not required to put up any money) — Hannah Meisel (@hannahmeisel) August 16, 2019

Apparently Cullerton will go upstairs for processing. He just passed us reporters by with a bunch of US Marshals. Can’t take photos, though. — Hannah Meisel (@hannahmeisel) August 16, 2019

Why would Senate Democrats promote a soon-to-be felon to the Veterans Committee right after his indictment?
- OneMan - Friday, Aug 16, 19 @ 11:44 am:
Should be easy to prove that he was doing work.

Serious question…what does “processed” by FBI mean?
- Donnie Elgin - Friday, Aug 16, 19 @ 11:50 am:
He should be able to afford competent council for $275,000.
- Paddyrollingstone - Friday, Aug 16, 19 @ 12:27 pm:
“Processed” means prints, photos, make sure there are no active warrants against the Defendant. FBI and US Marshall has separate processing.

Crickets from the usual suspects, nothing to see her move along
There would be over 100 comments if Cullerton was a “Raunerite”
- Keyrock - Friday, Aug 16, 19 @ 2:06 pm:
“Processed” means fingerprints, mug shots, etc.
The usual qualifications for serving as a committee chair. /s

“There would be over 100 comments if Cullerton was a “Raunerite”
Does not fit the prevalent narrative in Illinois politics.

I’d say what I’ll say now;
He been indicted and arrigned.
Now we wait for the trial.
Innocent until proven guilty.
Rauner was the one who called everyone corrupt.

There would be over 100 comments if the blog was open when the news about Cullerton first came out. Fixed it for you.
But never let an opportunity to be a victim go to waste.
