===And somebody is leaking again for some reason.===
Isn’t there a grand jury empaneled that is looking at this stuff? Is this an attempt to get reporters to just rehash the laundry list of Madigan smears that haven’t ever resulted in charges? Is there such a thing as “grand jury tampering?”
Also, the takeaway I got from this story was that it was Solis, not Madigan, who was caught on tape promising a quid pro quo. If the feds have any actual evidence against Madigan, they most likely wouldn’t need to drip this stuff out to remind people of everything nasty the Tribune has written about him for 20 years.
