I will break it down numerically for easier digestion:
1. Corrupt governor plunders Illinois for years.
2. Corrupt governor does something for the "little guy" and takes on Bank of America in his state.
3. The VERY NEXT DAY, corrupt governor is arrested on months/years old charges against him.
If you can't put these three together, GET OFF THESE FORUMS and go take some critical thinking classes at your local university. Please.
I will try to be less offensive than yourself and respond.
It is possible that this relates to BOA...but if we are to accept that conspiracy then let's fill in the blanks and connect the dots rather than
shout like yourself..."either believe this or go away"
From what I know from following this story for the past couple of years....
This investigation has been going on for YEARS! The Gov. Knew it, the public knew it.
Why arrest him now? Because he was about to appoint a Senator to Obama's vacated seat.
If the FBI allowed him to make that appointment under corrupt circumstances, then they would have a WHOLE OTHER BAG OF WORMS to deal with having stood
by and let a US Senator be appointed under potential illegal circumstances ...
And then they would not only be arresting a state Gov, but also potentially removing a US Senator from office...Impeachment? etc. It would get
complicated fast.
They HAD to pull the plug before he made the appointment.
By the way...I find it ridiculous that you simply say...believe this or go away...make your case...ATS is about denying ignorance, not encouraging
blind belief in what we are told.
