Get a law license?
Blame Madigan?
Move to the District?
Find out if Oswego is in the Central District?

He should have all of these false charges and allegations against Mike McLain dropped and dismissed.

U.S. Flag lapel pin?

Why does the article say “Harris would become the first Black U.S. Attorney for the Central District.”

Maybe there is a mix up? https://www.sj-r.com/story/news/politics/government/2021/10/27/u-s-attorney-nominee-central-district-illinois-gregory-harris/8574792002/

=== Find out if … is in the Central District?===

“Nothing happens in Illinois until Oswego has her say”

The hamlet I believe is not(?), but I do congratulate the new US Attorney Designate Harris, and if I were to suggest investigations;

The Tailgating Travesty of 2017 at UIUC, a case still baffling investigations

The Saluki Slam of 2019 in Carbondale, the town still hasn’t fully recovered, in my opinion.

The Cahokia Mounds Caper of 2012, so many ups and downs with that investigation, some even going as far as saying it’s making a mountain out of… well, you get the drift.

Probably the most pressing is the Macomb Mystery of 2015, even Scooby Doo and the Mystery Machine couldn’t solve it, meddling kids and all.

Last, and local would be the Springfield Salad Bar Shuffle, with a great many import and exports, a real smorgasbord of criminality that it’s study worldwide due to no charges ever being made.

That’s a pretty big plate, no desserts there, lots to chew on, something for everyone’s appetite.

A cannoli to you, Designate Harris, bon appetite

“An earlier version of this story used an incorrect photo. WMAY regrets the error.”

This is a surprise. I thought he was a working fixture of the General Assembly. Fixture, heh heh.

Jail Bailey as a public nuisance ?

I did not know House Majority Leader Harris was a resident of Central Illinois.

Comment by Face Palm Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 3:47 pm
Also, there’s an unspoken thing about knock-off horseshoes brought in overseas and being sold as we speak in restaurants scattered about.

Finding that warehouse and then as USA prosecuting to the fullest extent of the law is a fine first act of any accidentally cited USA Designate for that district.

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 3:50 pm
A perfect example what happens in newsrooms today, particularly ones that have been gutted. “It’s a story about a lawyer named Gregory Harris? We’ve got a file photo of a guy with that name, and he looks like he could be a lawyer. Send it.”

Plus one on @sal-says

Comment by Publius Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 3:55 pm
Order all the district’s sharks immediately arrested.

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:06 pm
All Assistant US Attorneys must pass competency test in budgeting.

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:07 pm
All restaurants in the Central District must begin serving breakfast for dinner.

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:08 pm
I think you are mixing him up with Greg Harris of Springfield who is African American and currently an Asst US Attorney

Comment by Galway Bay Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:10 pm
Immediate promotions for all follicly challenged employees.

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:10 pm
Galway Bay, *I* didn’t confuse anyone. lol

Comment by Rich Miller Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:11 pm
Reveal the investigation “Operation Budgeteer”

Comment by Oswego Willy Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:16 pm
Ha. Sorry Rich 👍

Comment by Galway Bay Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:27 pm
Start prosecuting fashion crimes. I see a lot of belts that don’t match shoes at the State House, and polka dot ties with striped shirts. And socks with sandals should be a capital crime.

Comment by Just Me 2 Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 4:30 pm
He should fire himself and return to his GA. His loss will be felt keenly by many whom he champions.

Every morning shall begin with a cat video.

Making sure he doesn’t get mistaken for the Illinois House Majority Leader.

Comment by Nick Name Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 5:05 pm
To remind everyone he is/was a federal prosecutor.

Comment by unclesam Thursday, Oct 28, 21 @ 5:14 pm
