The exception is that at least in Illinois you had Elliot Ness and a strong US Attorney to reel in some of the major players.<BR/><BR/>Where is our US Attorney (Susan Brooks) doing nothing then stepping down for a plum position at Ivy Tech. Ivy Tech has become quite the den of inequity with a gang of our illustrious Indiana Legislators collecting a little spare change on the public dime.<BR/><BR/>The criminal political connections to the Pea Shake Houses would make an Indiana Who's Who; from Past Mayors, Prosecutors, Sheriff's and Chiefs of Police. If they were not on the take; they knew about it and did nothing. The racket encompasses both Democrat and Republican Administrations. <BR/><BR/>It almost seems to me that IndyU's demise was after the outcry to close down the Pea Shakes and talk of exposing the Money Laundry Machine. Officers were chiming in with locations and promises to take official action. It wouldn't take a rocket scientist or even a very smart police man to close down the Pea Shakes in Indy but they are still open and collecting their due.<BR/><BR/>The Indy Blogs were all set on exposing and righting the wrong in Indy (Pea Shakes) included but now several are amiss with exposing IndyU authors instead of continuing the fight for a corruption probe in Marion County. Someone stepped in when the heat was on and changed the course of direction at IndyU. Outlandish (homophobic & racist) comments made by anonymous posters were not screened and allowed to discredit the blog.<BR/><BR/>I do know that many of the things stated about the corruption in IMPD brought on by the Anderson Administration (or lack of it) are true. Many of these things carried over from the McAtee/Cottey era but flourished under Anderson to an all time high.<BR/><BR/>If I were still active in Marion County Law Enforcement and on the ad hoc staff at IndyU I would not want to be exposed either. The repercussions would not only be career altering but could possibly endanger one's life.<BR/><BR/>So a plea to the legitimate Indy Blogs; continue to investigate the Marion County Corruption and do not give them a pass or allow them to turn each blogger against each other over petty jealousies.<BR/><BR/>Fight the Good FightAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-34471111175389629152007-12-14T11:03:00.000-05:002007-12-14T11:03:00.000-05:00Fitzgerald is an aggressive prosecutor, which has its positive points. He's doing a lot to clean up corruption in Chicago. (He was selected by the independent minded Republican Senator Peter Fitzgerald, no relation).<BR/><BR/>On the other hand, he is a typical "win at any cost" prosecutor who is a scalp collector versus a justice seeker. He often uses tactics like threatening people's wives with indictments if they don't cooperate, throwing up extremely broad indictments for things like "wire fraud" and "obstruction of justice" that don't seem to have a tangible connection to an underlying crime, etc. One commentator in the paper talked about one of his 30+ count indictments by saying basically, "I read the thing, but I still can't figure out what he's charged with actually doing". <BR/><BR/>I'd refer to the famous Pittsburgh Post-Gazette series on how federal prosecutors play this game.<BR/><BR/>http://www.post-gazette.com/win/The Urbanophilehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18094204641794131438noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12703782.post-52215387539684978892007-12-14T10:57:00.000-05:002007-12-14T10:57:00.000-05:00Republican President George W.
