Illinois grant-fraud probe: 13 charged, $16M embezzled

The U.S. attorney’s office in Springfield has been busy the past few years investigating a variety of fraud schemes involving state grants. Thirteen people have been charged so far, six who have pleaded guilty.

Two of them have ties to President Barack Obama. One is the daughter of his controversial former pastor, the Rev. Jeremiah Wright. Another was chief of staff to Obama’s longtime friend Eric E. Whitaker when Whitaker was Illinois’ public health chief.

He's probably pissed he didn't get it all.

What's the ratio of Dems to Repubs on these fraud cases?

That would probably necessitate dividing by zero.

The culture of corruption in Chicago is well-known and completely acceptable --

till the perps get caught, of course.
