City Hall Emails Show Trail to Top Emanuel Aides

http://www.nbcchicago.com/investigations/City-Hall-Emails-Show-Trail-to-Top-Emanuel-Aides--362039771.html

Senior members of Rahm Emanuel's administration received and sent emails about the video of the police shooting of Laquan McDonald long before the mayor said he was fully briefed, emails obtained by NBC5 News show.

The emails were obtained through a Freedom of Information Act request and show that the mayor’s chief of staff, deputy chief of staff and top press aides were included in email chains....

“I don’t know who briefed me first about the video,” he said, adding, “The first person that kind of gave me the description of it was Corporation Counsel Steve Patton."

Asked the next day about when he first learned of the McDonald case and who informed him, the mayor responded, “Probably read it in the paper. Uhm and some of the staff, uhm could have informed me.”

Ol Rammer is the quintessential model of a new Democrat that Wasserman-Schultz recruits. Not looking good for this POS,got to be tons of pressure coming both from Obama's West Wing and from the Clinton Campaign. What a embarrassment for both. And to think there is talk of the Obama's domiciling in Chi-Town in 2017. You would think Penny Pritzker would have this guys head on a pike pole by now.

the kid was a human being. I know you never laid eyes on him, and never would. He was in a different class than you, Rahm, and you thought his life wouldn't matter in the big scheme of things. Just a street kid, just a thug. Well, this case is the very reason, and meaning of the BlackLivesMatter movement, and you better listen up, Rahm. His life is every bit as important as yours, and losing your jot just might teach you that lesson. You've already lost your soul.

Go back to Wallstreet and let an actual progressive take over the office. Maybe Chicago can start cleaning up their system a bit.
