If she did something wrong, it should be prosecuted.

Democrats do not have an issue with that.

For some reason, Republicans do.

Maybe if Republicans stood up for the rule of law, things would be different.

If the GOP decided to do a 180 and care about the rule of law, they'd have no politicians left.

Easier to just accuse Dems of doing everything when, in fact, they are doing it themselves.

Every accusation is a confession.

COOK COUNTY - Politicians don't always like to hear from the public.

But some south suburban residents say controversial Thornton Township Supervisor and Dolton Mayor Tiffany Henyard took extraordinary—and possibly illegal—steps to prevent them from speaking at a public meeting Tuesday night.

The sign outside Thornton Township's office in South Holland reads, "Welcome to Thornton Township. People working with people." But when residents showed up Tuesday night to speak at a public board meeting, they got anything but a warm welcome.

"When I arrived there was security here," said Stephanie Wiedeman, a former township employee and frequent Henyard critic. "He was standing at the bottom of the stairs preventing anybody from going up to the boardroom. I asked him if the meeting was downstairs, he replied yes."

Wiedeman and a handful of other residents wanted to speak directly to Supervisor Tiffany Henyard, who has generated controversy for spending hundreds of thousands of tax dollars on trips, police security, billboards, and her own personal charity.

"I'm just curious to see who makes the decisions about how our tax dollars are being spent," said Thornton Township resident Paul Robertz, who also tried to attend the meeting. But they never got that chance.

After being blocked from going to the boardroom upstairs, the residents were sent to the basement where they were told the township board meeting would be held. It wasn't. They say they asked for a signup sheet for public comment and never got it. And before they knew what had happened, the four-minute meeting upstairs was over and Henyard was gone, without hearing from her constituents.

"They are violating our rights," said Wiedeman. "I pay taxes here. I have a right to get up and speak whether this administration likes it or not."

I don't see the democrats circling the wagons asserting that whatever she may have done is fine and that she shouldn't be prosecuted.

Weird.

Yes. There appear to be Dems who are objecting to the mayor's alleged corruption and want it investigated. I don't see a clamor for investigations of Trump, Gaetz, J6, etc.

Fine, they should go for it. Hold all criminals accountable, just like they are with the criminal Trump. Nobody is objecting.

Ex-Obama policy adviser Rami Shy charged with child sex offenses in the UK: report

A former senior policy adviser under President Barack Obama’s administration has been charged with child sex offenses in the UK.

New Jersey native Rahamim “Rami” Shy, 46, faced Luton Crown Court last Friday after being arrested on a slew of charges, including arranging the commission of a child sex offense and possessing indecent images of children, the Daily Mail reported, citing court documents.

Clad in a grey prison tracksuit, the former Treasury Department staffer — who was nabbed and charged in February — wasn’t asked to enter a plea during the court hearing.

This guy was a career civil servant, not a political appointee (he was hired during the Bush administration). It's certainly possible he's part of the Democratic party but there's no evidence of this in the article.

There is a whole thread devoted to this. The guy hasn't even been anywhere near a government position in 10 years. And he was just a GS, not an appointee.
