Its seems the new govenor of illinois who came in promising that he would clean up government after the old govenor was sent to jail for racketeering and fraud... is now himself being investigated

How deep is this you think? Is this typical in USA politics and the rest just dont get caught?

The democrat sure kicked up the corruption a few notches from the republican...from selling drivers' licenses to selling a senate seat... LOL.

I don't think this is typical, but it does happen whenever money and power are involved I'm afraid.

The whole story is bogus! It is not illegal to sell a vacant seat for profit in Illinois! The investigators made a bad mistake!

going so far as to say the wire taps were illegally obtained.. so that cant count as evidence against me.
LOL.. well true enough I guess. if the courts find it was illegally obtained the have to ignore it from a legal standpoint. Kinda hard for the public to ignore it though eh?

Nothing that happens in Illinois stays in Illionois!

How many previous Governors are locked up or recently released?
