CITY HALL HACK — ‘SHOCKING’ DEATH OF A STAR-CHITECT — ALD. MOORE JOINS SOS RACE Presented by Illini for Affordable Rx Good Monday morning, Illinois. Hope you enjoyed your autumn weekend. TOP TALKER A huge cache of internal emails from City Hall was hacked by a third party and made public Friday, revealing the inner workings of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration in Chicago. The select group of emails had been given to the Jones Day law firm as part of an inquiry into how the police raid on Anjanette Young’s home had been handled. The law firm transferred them to a third party a...

A massive cache of hacked emails detailing the inner workings of Mayor Lori Lightfoot’s administration was leaked to the public last month – apparently in response to the fatal police shooting of 13-year-old Adam Toledo.

Last month, Distributed Denial of Secrets, a nonprofit whistleblower group likened to WikiLeaks, republished the massive document du...

And now that COPA has done illegal investigations (which isn’t new; Second City Cop reported this angle a long time ago), this means every COPA “investigation” and “finding” is null and void. Wait for the lawsuits to follow on this. More incompetence, and it isn’t CPD’s nor the officer’s fault. As for the turnover in Lightfoot appointees, it proves the point that she is a terrible leader when her appointees are bailing on her. If your patron won’t listen to you and makes you look foolish with terrible decisions and poor acum...
