* WBEZ…
During the final three months of 2020, ex-Illinois House Speaker Michael Madigan spent more than $1 million for work by a Chicago law firm specializing in white-collar criminal cases, newly filed state campaign records show.
The $1.03 million the Friends of Michael J. Madigan political fund spent with Katten Muchin Rosenman represents a sharp uptick in legal spending by the Chicago Democrat and comes as a federal bribery probe intensified.
During the first three quarters of last year, Madigan’s campaign committee spent about $726,000 with the firm.
As I’ve told you before, Madigan spent $2.66 million on lawyers between July of 2017 and July of last year.

“As I’ve told you before, Madigan spent $2.66 million on lawyers between July of 2017 and July of last year.” Does this mean Rauner and Koch are winning?

This means one thing. They are in late stages of negotiation with the G as usually a huge flurry of negotiations and work—then an Indictment or it goes away. This far along and this much legal work I suspect it’s an Indictment.

== supporter of the trial lawyers ==
With more than 700 attorneys representing Fortune 100 companies 29 different practice areas and from 11 different office Katten Muchin is about as far away from the trial lawyers association as a law firm can get.

Like I used to tell my kids, if you have to explain the joke, then it probably wasn’t funny to begin with.
