{Former} Former Gov. George Ryan indicted

Tribune staff reports
7:09 PM CST, December 17, 2003

Former Illinois Gov. George Ryan was charged today in a federal racketeering indictment with conspiracy and fraud while he was governor and secretary of state.

Ryan allegedly engaged in a pattern of corruption that included performing official government acts, awarding lucrative government contracts and leases and using the State of Illinois for his own benefit, members of his family, his campaign organization and certain associates, according to a news release from the U.S. Attorney's office.

"I submit that the citizens of this state expect honest government from the secretary of state or the governor," U.S. Attorney Patrick J. Fitzgerald said during a news conference this afternoon at the Dirksen Building in downtown Chicago. "They deserve nothing less."

The federal investigation was launched after six children in one family died in a fiery accident on a Wisconsin expressway involving a trucker who may have bought his drivers license.

Supposedly, Fitzgerald waited until after Ryan was no longer governor, so he wouldn't be able to pardon witnesses and co-conspirators.

15. He had the means of putting cheney and rove under oath in a court of law

and it never happened...and that was the last thing in this world those two crooks want is to testify. Scooter Libby was a pardoned lump of coal...not a good Fitzmas at all. Ryan is local.

7. You think Bush would submit Fitz as a nominee?

[EV_Ares]

8. Maybe he will bring Harriet back; eom.

[H2O Man]

9. He won't. But,

James Comey would. And Congress would agree on his nomination .... though the Cheney administration surely will not nominate him!

[Benhurst]

10. As if Bush wants to be indicted. On the other hand, John Mitchell is dead;

but Ed Meese is available.

[Enrique]

14. phew!

I thought you said Joni Mitchell is dead.

[book_worm]

11. "someone get a petition going" it's your idea, why don't you?

Not that Bush would ever nominated Fitzgerald.

[dancingme]

13. The People demand Fitz!

Yeah!:D

[Missy Vixen]

16. Wheeee! America's Hottest Prosecutor cleans out DC!

In the meantime, imagine the spike in Depends stock the minute he's sworn in.



Julie
still president for life of the PFEB

17. Bush is the one who will appoint the AG

So, don't even bother. It ain't happening. The last thing Bush needs is a straight shooting AG, he needs another consigliore.
