5. They could have been referring to the office and not the person

There's several local officials under investigation in Chicago. It could be one of them.

6. I heard it was some alderman
can't remember who, since I don't live there, but not a national figure. Maybe there's another one, though.

8. I bet thousands of shredders are working overtime.
Probably every Chicago politician has done things which could bring about indictments.
