Very young when she arrived. Never tried a case before. Still hasn't. Daddums is a powerful, evil, full of retribution type pol. His label or party designation matters not. Power is all that matters.

for a stretch, 1.5 city counselmen a year? J-cubed?

It must be the latter.

IMO, even the Feds seemed to be actively interested in Blagojevich only after he tried to stick up for some laid-off workers and said the he would order Illinois agencies to discontinue conducting all business with the B of A.

Has she prosecuted any of the Aldermen?

If so, (1) I missed that news item and (2) whatever Alderman was prosecuted must have failed to do what the powers-that-be wanted.
