#1 So, like the Boston office, the FBI sat on the sidelines listening in and doing nothing. Just another checkbox why the place needs to be scrubbed down to the foundation.

#3 the order to kill and dispose of their remains came from drug lords in Chicago

The student abductions took place on September 26, 2014.

Attorney General Eric Holder announced his resignation on September 25, 2014, citing 'personal reasons'.

#4 For those of us keeping score, do these 43 go on Chicago's scorecard?

#5 My tin hat conspiracy brain has long said the democrats were in bed with the cartels as part of their war on American culture

/\ It's a control measure with handsome cartel dividends.

Urban America and the sanctuary cities have no other industries. No brick and mortar overhead. It's the Big Pharma of the underrepresented. The affected populations eventually eliminate themselves, well short of Full Retirement Age (FRA). Hence the need for open borders, drug mules, and replacement people,

See 'Planned Parenthood' for other examples of structured population reduction.

BTW, it's not just 'urban America.'

#7 Yes. And the money moving through the world of crime and the black market is not untaxed. It's just taxed differently.

#9 The whole story is worth reading (last line from the article, above).

#10 Street gangs in Chicago have veto over local politicians. They hold special meet-and-greet sessions for the gangs to talk to pols and decide if they approve or not.

These murders are a direct result of Chicago corruption. What a shame no one has the guts to take it on.

#11 Chicago has not contributed anything of positive value to the greater American project in some time. Trying to rehabilitate it is a complete waste of time and resources.

The same can be said for pretty much all the urban areas of Illinois.

#12 Hmmm, looking back, "vote early, vote often" Daley was a prince compared to this utter loser Lightfoot.

#13 Comment by "pettifogger" at the Powerline blog: Instead of a bright line, there's merely a continuum between government and organized crime.

#14 Murcek, what other urban areas? Peoria isn't that bad, Quad Cities isn't that bad. East St. Louis is as bad, but it's primarily a St. Louis problem. Champaign-Urbana, Normal -- do they count as urban?

Illinois is a state effectively run by a single urban region, and down-state doesn't have the political power to reign-in Chicagoland.

Hell probably sold them the weapons under Fast and Furious. And a stable Mexico works against Democrat interests.

#16 Chicago, where have I seen that pedigree in the biography of a major political figure and his mentor? Its just on the tip of my tongue, and it is certain that it involved "community organizing" at the grass-roots, street level where this kind of corruption flourishes.

#18 The only place for FBI agents is fighting drug dealers in our big cities. Keep them out of the capital.
