Gibbons at a press conference announcing details of the Randy Gori murder case
EDWARDSVILLE – Former Madison County state’s attorney Tom Gibbons formed a regional police squad to investigate Republicans about a rumor, according to public record of the investigation.
No evidence for the rumor ever turned up.
The team searched for political activity inside the courthouse and found it only on the Democratic side of the fence.
Top Democrats wound up explaining why party messages showed up in their computer mailboxes.
Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul, who replaced Gibbons as prosecutor by court order, brought no charges against any Republicans.
