Lawyers for four individuals tied to the Commmonwealth Edison federal bribery case have asked for charges to be dismissed. The lawyers representing Michael McClain of Quincy Anne Pramaggiore, John Hooker and Jay Doherty asked U.S. District Judge Harry Leinenweber to toss several of the key elements of the case, including allegations of bribery conspiracy involving jobs doled out by ComEd to associates of former House Speaker Michael Madigan.
According to the Chicago Tribune, the lawyers claim there was no quid pro quo with Madigan to help pass favorable legislation in the Illinois General Assembly. The filing argues that the U.S. attorney’s office has improperly used the federal bribery statute to criminalize job recommendations forwarded by Madigan to ComEd officials. The lawyers have called the job recommendations a routine practice within the bounds of normal spoils system-type politics.

Rep. Jamaal Bowman, a New York Democrat, criticized President Joe Biden on Wednesday for plans to nominate former Chicago Mayor Rahm Emanuel as U.S. ambassador to Japan. Black Lives Matter can t just be a slogan. It has to be reflected in our actions as a government, and as a people. Rewarding Rahm Emmanuel s cover up of Laquan McDonald s murder with an ambassadorship is not an act that reflects a value of or respect for Black lives, the freshman left-wing lawmaker tweeted Wednesday. https://twitter.com/JamaalBowmanNY/status/1392539153494159365
As a House member, Bowman doesn t have a say on nominations. Only senators do. But as an influential liberal voice in Congress, Bowman s concern about an Emanuel ambassadorship could be a signal of more widespread opposition.
