Auditor General Mautino must take unpaid leave while under state and federal investigation.https://t.co/7HRc8Tp5DZ
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 2, 2016
* And then he started trolling media outlets and Democratic legislators, to no avail…
Auditor General Mautino needs to put the people of Illinois ahead of himself. His silence is unacceptable. https://t.co/p1QlXmkiMu
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 3, 2016
The silence on AG Mautino from my Democrat colleagues is deafening. This is about ethics, not politics. #twill

Jobs! Jobs! Jobs! Come see us starting at 10am today! @ Proviso… https://t.co/lZy1Z5pNTD

Maybe someone who is qualified to be Auditor General will avail themselves. https://t.co/hX6ned7FkS

We'll be walking w/ @Mathis95th in tomorrow's Black Diamond Days Parade in #Gillespie! Join us! #Macoupin https://t.co/USaOfFi2zt

Hope people along the parade route ask if you both stand with Auditor General Mautino who is under Fed investigation https://t.co/7c38WErQsa

Do you stand by Auditor General Mautino while he is under federal investigation? https://t.co/1t4kAXOn6n
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 5, 2016
@cljmitchell Plenty of disappointment to go around… Like in our Auditor general not stepping aside while under federal investigation.

Illinois is a ship without a captain: @DonHarmonIL https://t.co/iIMUuqVWH0

Democrats created a fiscal mess for years and our Auditor General is under federal investigation. Fixed that for you https://t.co/gnwCULIevt
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 12, 2016
* Today, somebody finally responded…
@cljmitchell Fantasyland like having an Auditor General who didn't cook his own books?
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
@cljmitchell I thought anything was possible in fantasyland! Is it not a land where Mautino can balance books? Not possible even there?
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
@cljmitchell That and we are not using Mautino's calculator to figure it out. It's broken.
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
@cljmitchell Yes. But he should step aside interim. Would you keep a teacher in place who was a suspected predator? I certainly wouldn't.
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
@cljmitchell No. I'm comparing people placed in public trust. 2 examples of people who should step aside while under criminal investigation
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
* And then a Democrat hit him with some kindness…
@RepChrisWelch Did you update them on our Auditor General who is under federal investigation?
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
@RepChrisWelch Yes.
— Rep. Grant Wehrli (@GrantWehrli) June 17, 2016
*** UPDATE *** He’s still at it, and Rep. Mitchell is not amused…
@GrantWehrli Wait a sec - you have evidence of corruption by the Aud. Gen during his tenure as AG? I'd advise coming 4ward 2 avoid liability

“Who” let the yappy ankle biter out today??? Was Wehrli getting points for every tweet he twitted???
Comment by Anon221 Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 2:58 pm
Dear Rep. Wehrli…
Karma bud…
Karma.
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 2:58 pm
Not that I disagree, but Grant who?

==Would you keep a teacher in place who was a suspected predator?==
Absolutely pathetic to compare the two. SMH.
Comment by CrazyHorse Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:02 pm
He’s got a little mental loop thing going it seems
Comment by Former State Employee Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:03 pm
Hey, everyone, did you know that our Auditor General is under federal investigation? You should tell everyone that our Auditor General is under federal investigation because it’s true that our Auditor General is under federal investigation.
Hey everyone, did you hear…
Comment by SinkingShip Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:09 pm
The thing that annoys me the most is using “AG” to refer to the Auditor General. I mean, it’s not wrong, but I just think of Attorney General whenever I see AG
Comment by anan Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:11 pm
So if he is ever questioned on anything he will apply the same standard to himself?
Comment by Anonymous Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:12 pm
Wow that Wehrli has some powerful messages. But what is the sense of being fool is you can’t act like. A new version of Cal Skinner. Wonder if his palms get sweating too?
Comment by Annonin' Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:15 pm
Geez, why can’t Wehrli take up Candy Crush and waste his time in private like most people?
Comment by 47th Ward Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:19 pm
Once or twice is a message, he’s long since crossed over into troll category.

Welch has got a good heart, Good Egg.
Comment by Someone you should know Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:22 pm
Must be a slow news day if this is what we get; as I mentioned on the GOP anti Chicago ad yesterday, I hope Rich is out monitoring Dem twitter feeds and reporting the same.
Comment by lech W Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:22 pm
I thought he was a pretty reasonable dude. He doesn’t even have a real race. Does he realize that trolling your colleagues on Twitter makes it actually more difficult to get anything done?
What a weirdo.
Comment by Wizzard of Ozzie Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:24 pm
=== I hope Rich is out monitoring Dem twitter feeds and reporting the same.===
Trust me, if I see somebody trolling like this I’ll do something on it. In the meantime, don’t be such a victim.
Comment by Rich Miller Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:25 pm
Sounds like Grant is next up to become a heroic superstar.
Comment by Precinct Captain Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:29 pm
this was just bizarre. and i hope he does that joint town hall meeting. something tells me he’d balk if it actually is scheduled.
Comment by levois Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:29 pm
- lech W -
There was a Sandack tweet targeting Rep. Cloonen, “accidentally” tweeted by Sandack. What a colleague.
The tweet was probably between a Sox score update tweet and another telling @StatehouseChick she rocks!
“Twitter is fun!”
Ugh.
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:30 pm
@Pontifex: In prayer let us experience the compassion of God, full of merciful love.
@FakeWehrli: @Pontifex We pray that the Illinois auditor general steps aside during investigation.
Comment by Fusion Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:31 pm
This is exactly what we want in our representatives. Maturity.
Dear Politicians:
Just. Stop. Tweeting.
Comment by Demoralized Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:36 pm
Has Rep Mitchell given his opinion of the Auditor General stepping down while under federal investigation for his own books?
Comment by Formerly Known As... Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:37 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - there are two things I can’t stand. Bullying & that the Auditor General won’t give in to my bullying #YeahBaby #SharksWithLazers
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:37 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - Like if you want me to troll someone, retweet if you think I should set a better example to my family #FirstTrollProblems
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:39 pm
This guy is a Grade A dork. The kid’s Tw is even worse. He’s a leader of one, on a good day, if there’s a mirror in the room. Ugh.
Comment by A guy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:41 pm
Other than =innocent until proven guilty= in that tweet?
If not, perhaps he should clarify. This could boomerang to hurt him depending on the Feds investigation, and he wouldn’t be the first.
Comment by Formerly Known As... Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:41 pm
This guy needs a hobby. Too much free time.

@FakeRepWehrli - I don’t believe in Karma but I do believe people can look really foolish when they don’t realize the example they set for others #FollowersBeforeFamily
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:45 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I’ll leave the Auditor General alone if he gives me his milk money and his Mickey Mantle baseball card #OldSchoolBully
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:46 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I’d say my Twitter got hacked but no one would believe these ignorant tweets are anybody’s but mine #WhenTheTweetsFit
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:49 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I deleted all my trolling tweets. So the 6,017 tweets I originally had… I’m down to 31 #TweetsSpeakVolumesIn140… “#Character”
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:53 pm
Don’t know him, so I’ll take a guy’s word for it. Certainly unimpressive so far.
Comment by Norseman Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:54 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - Being a Freshman, it’s important to me to be seen as boisterous and trolling as opposed to effective learning #ImDoingItRightByDoingItWrong
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 3:57 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - if being a trolling, obsessive, Freshman is a good way to get your name out there, Tweet. Me. In! #Hashtag
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:00 pm
Norse, you made me blush. lol
Comment by A guy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:01 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I know many of you tweet me about important stuff, (whatevs), but unless you want to help me troll, I’m gonna ignore you #UnSocialMedia
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:03 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - it’s important to me to have my followers on Twitter see my idiosyncrasies. Some call them annoying ticks, but whatevs #ShowingTrueCharacter
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:07 pm
@GrantWehrli is Sandack’s junk folder.
Comment by Michelle Flaherty Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:09 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I want to make your hear whirl with my ridiculous obsessiveness. I’ll let the real legislators do the heavy lifting #RoundAndRound
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:10 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - I will keep trolling everyone until I’m seen worse than Rep Ives and Rep Drury combined #TrollingTakingItsTollOnColleagues

Ha X 3.

@FakeRepWehrli - Y’all think I’m the worst troll in the GA, I’m not even the worst troll in my household #TweetsVolumes
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:19 pm
Does this mean the very first time the Rauner administration or an agency gets a federal subpoena we can expect the GOPers to ask him to step down? What about subpoenas related to his campaign accounts or his dark money accounts? Because I’m betting there will be some at some point.
Comment by WTF Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:23 pm
Maybe Wehrli can do a town hall in Mitchell’s district too. Heck, with the kind of time he’s got, he could do the rounds. Take the mouthy kid with him too.
Comment by A guy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:39 pm
Democrats wrapping their arms around democrats!
Comment by Anonymous Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:41 pm
@FakeRepWehrli - It’s more important to me to be seen as unhinged and irrational. Anyone can be a thoughtful legislator #StandingOutByStandingOutwardlySilly
Comment by Oswego Willy Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:47 pm
As a freshman, he’s got nothing better to do? Surely there’s a lot of self-education he could be doing - reading the statutes, finding the restrooms, learning his fellow elected officials names? The adage ‘there is no such thing as bad publicity’ isn’t really true.
Comment by thoughts matter Friday, Jun 17, 16 @ 4:50 pm
the level of discussion in the public realm is in the fake wrestling world now. it’s not just here. it’s everywhere. Trump rallies, Sanders stans, public meetings with yelling and demands that are off the rails. calm down people. save the outrage for something really outrageous, like abortion clinics being shot up and bombed, the Orlando massacre, the children who were slaughtered in New Town. we will find out soon enough what is going on with Rep. Mautino, who by all accounts is a really great guy. but until then, it’s Friday. have a drink.
