There are going to be some interesting questions asked of Democratic (Party) Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel.And, it won’t be at a press conference.
It will be at a deposition, unless Emanuel can extract himself from a federal lawsuit just filed Thursday.
8th congressional district peace candidate Bill Scheurer apparently didn’t get the 14,000 signatures required to get on the ballot as a candidate for the Moderate Party, but, besides running a write-in campaign, Scheurer has sued various Democratic Party officials, including Emanuel.McHenry County Blog reported last Friday how Scheurer was duped by what certainly must be a Democratic Party operative.
The operative, whose name remains unknown, used a card from an employee of first term Democratic Party Congressman Dan Lapinski to convince Scheurer than he was the employee, a guy who runs a political consulting firm on the side.
The impostor promised to get at least 10,000 petition signatures for Scheurer, but didn’t deliver, leaving Scheurer short of the necessary 14,000 names a week before filing.Scheurer won’t be on the ballot this fall, but he will extract revenge until the suit is concluded. Besides the suit, he will run a write-in campaign.
Congressman Lipinski is also named in the suit, as is Michael Madigan, Chairman of the Illniois Democratic Party.

Congressman Rahm Emanuel is show on top, Bill Scheurer in the middle and Congressman Dan Lipinski on the bottom.
Classic.
ReplyDeleteAll of these nitwits are against lawsuits until they feel the slightest harm.
funny how melissa bean isn't mentioned by scheurer ... again.
ReplyDeletei thought sheurer wanted to run against bean, not lipinski or emmanual. what is this goof doing???
this, my friends, should be the republicans' prime example of a frivolous lawsuit.
maybe scheurer can run on the larouchie ticket in 2 years... or maybe the reform ticket.
goofy is as goofy does.
It'll never get to the deposition stage. Emmanuel, at least, will be able to get this dismissed easily, unless there is some scintilla of proof to connect him to the actions of the imposter. Just screaming that it was the Dem's won't be enough, and I have seen nothing else to connect it to any dem except Lipinski.
