(26,044 posts)...and could well get away with it. Do you think the Republican Congress is going to impeach him over the trivial matter of the military "cleansing" of a predominantly minority population in one of the hotbeds of liberalism?

(115,677 posts)Mayor Rahm Emanuel, appearing earlier Tuesday evening on WTTWs Chicago Tonight, said he welcomes help from the federal government to combat crime. So does his police superintendent, Eddie Johnson.
The Chicago Police Department is more than willing to work with the federal government to build on our partnerships with DOJ, FBI, DEA and ATF and boost federal prosecution rates for gun crimes in Chicago, Johnson said through a spokesperson.
