Northwest Indiana Discussion

And if he had gotten away with any of it you and your chubby little cheeks would be tut-tutting about people pre-judging Lake County Democrats and you'd be rushing to get a photo with him at his next fundraiser.

I do remember the Pustule of the Region proclaiming that this scumbag had been "ralerowded".

And who is going to be next? Anyone care to make a guess??

Van Til will be next. The only question is whether it will be before the election or after he wins.

Sandy R, Gus, VanTil, McDermott, Bobbi Lendi, and a whole host of big names from LC. I stand by my prediction that Phillpockets will squeel like the stuck pig he is. He will do a Rudy Bartolomei.

While we are at it, lets add some of the SCH bigshots to the list. The hammer has been coming down from Indy, and the casualty list from 41 Williams is growing.

it appears the federal prosecutor is just begining to make their move to clean up LC.

Christine Cid's testimony was enhanced by the irs looking at her income taxes, and the results of a sealed grand gury envelope. Now my bet, Christine has been indicted by the grand jury and those results may be announced after Christine is done helping clean LC's political house.

Tom was done in on his attorney's (defense) questioning of Saks. They opened the door for re direct by the prosecutor and he got Saks to admit, had Philpot been more forth right with disclosure on why Saks was asked to research the statute, the letter would have had a different out look.

So Pastric wasn't convicted, but was removed from office by a re election, Pabey, a whole slew of characters from Gary, Meeks, Hall's, Harris and many more, turning to Philpot, now George VanTill, it is just a matter of time before Jr gets someone knocking on his door.

I'm sorry I was not in the courtroom to see PHilpot's face. A whole number of lake county government people are going to be unemployed.

Now I read somewhere that Uncle Philpot would stop in Gary and buy the kids $100 of ice cream. What a friggin humanitarian, Al Capone did the same, but when $100 ment something.

Both are criminals. Greedy Lake County Politicians.

Fowler once crowed about what a great guy Tom McDermott, Sr. was because he held a big party for a bunch of young LC hoodlums at his home and bought them all leather coats. Easy to do when you are stiffing the residents of LC for over $100,000.

One is reminded of Sparks Hein, who brags about all the charities he supports but is whacking the elderly, the handicapped, single moms, and veterans of the City of Hammond so that he can send his spawn off to Purdue with College Bound funds.

UPDATE!!: Just checked the Facebook page of All-Star Region Moron Fowler. Yesterday, he practically guaranteed Tom Philpot a conviction by trying to brown-nose him and declaring the prosecution's case against him to be weak. Yep! The ultimate Region insider was as right about this one as he was about a Starbuck's going in at the new Woodmar. Oh yeah, and about Mr. Philpot being "ralerowded" as well.

What has gone around, has come around.

Here is what your prediction said. Philpot didn't plead to anything.He was convicted of five felonies. Once again you show how clueless you are. Your prediction was 100% wrong. There was no plea bargain. There is nothing to "squeal" about now. All Philpot cn do is hope for an appeal. My prediction is he will be in jail within 8 months.

Tom had been allowed to exercise his constitutional privileged to go to trial. Unfortunately, the Feds usually sentence someone who goes to trial more harshly than someone who pleads.

Fact, the Feds helped solidify a Philpot conviction by successfully pursuing a sitting Lake County Council Person on tax issues. That Lake County Council Person has a sealed Grand Jury decision, most likely, handing down another indictment on tax charges.

We all know a Grand Jury investigation is currently reviewing VanTill's office. VanTill has not been specifically named as a focus of that Grand Jury.

Fact, two of Hammond City Council Persons are under IRS investigation as this speaks.

The other Tom a few months ago clearly discussed leaving his the office of Mayor. Seldom do the Feds prosecute a politician who has left office. The fat lady has not stopped singing on this story yet.

How is it that you know about IRS investigations,Tommy? Do you use your Dick Tracy super secret decoder ring to hack into the IRS's computers?

Rudy Bartolomei was in the same position. He opened his mouth, went into witness protection, and his talking took out Judge Anderson, Beilak, and several other people. I think the only reason that Phillpockets didn't plead, is that he thought his teflon coating was too slick to have anything stick. He is not a "stand up guy" like Cantrell. He would turn in his own family to get off the hook.
I would say that several unnamed Lake County politicians right now are checking their passports, and trying to hook up with Kolintzas in Greece. Matter of fact, I wonder where Gus, you know, joined at the hip to Phillpockets, is at right now? I heard he has dual citizenship, USA/Greece.
