In like 2018, if that. If Rauner is thrown out of office over this, his Lt. Gov. will take the office.

This repulsive Rauner is certainly not the People's Pat.

Does Quinn have any scandals that might get him indicted? Let's see if Illinois can get four imprisoned governors in a row.

An investigation into his use of an anti-violence program as a slush fund for his 2010 campaign started in October but it will take a couple of years for him to join his buddy rod

Does the office of Governor of Illinois come with a complimentary soap on a rope?

To be fair, he hasn't been indicted and likely wouldn't be on these charges.

I assume the FBI starts investigating Illinois governors the moment they take office at this point.

Before everyone gets too excited, the article points out that it is the donors under investigation, not the campaign. The law prohibits private managers of state funds from donating to the officials who make appointments to the boards that oversee the funds. If a donor had active involvement in the part of their company that manages the fund then there is a violation.

It's not a violation for the candidate, since a candidate once informed of the illegal source can return the donation. Blago's crime was that he solicited donations with a clear intent to perform an official act in exchange for those donations.

Aww, don't rain on this hilarious bipartisan parade.

A possibly corrupt Illinois governor? NO WAY. That never happens. It's one of the few bipartisan things that they do well in the Land of Lincoln...
