“Records? What Records?”

TOPICS: Corruption Crime Illinois Janet Phelan Justice

Some serious allegations of judicial misconduct have been launched against several members of the judiciary in Cook County, Illinois. These allegations involve concerns that some sitting judges in this notoriously corrupt county may, in fact, be receiving bribes in order to throw cases.

When Cook County is called “notoriously corrupt,” Operation Greylord comes to mind. In the 1980s, the FBI indicted over 90 judges in Cook County on corruption charges. Most of these were eventually convicted.

According to an attorney who was practicing law in Cook County during Operation Greylord, Ken Ditkowsky, the decisión to stop the arrests was made due to the perception that if the Operation continued, there wouldn’t be any judges left unindicted in Cook County.

The recent allegations concerning bribe taking by sitting Cook County judges focuses in on their mortgages as a vehicle for bribes. The mechanism is stunningly simple—Judge X takes out a loan and Mr. Y pays it back. The true payer on the loan is therefore obscured from public oversight and there is no messy aftermath, such as when Canadian Prime Minister Brian Mulroney was caught red-handed receiving a large envelope stuffed with cash.

Judge Shauna Boliker and Judge Regina Mescall went under the microscope concerning their patently ilegal actions directed at one Dean Sallas. Their loan histories were scrutinized and reported here: I WANTS YOUR HOUSE, I WANTS YOUR WIFE, I WANTS YOUR CAR, I WANTS YOUR LIFE – Activist Post and here: Chicago Judge Unleashes Scathing Attack on Activist Post Reporter – Activist Post

Both searches were done using the spouse’s name, as searching with the judge’s name had pulled up blanks.

It now appears that Cook County Recorder — or whomever is in charge of archiving these documents online — has pulled the records from public oversight.

Here is a screenshot from 11:30 am on February 16th concerning the property records, detailed in the first article on Boliker, and searched using her husband’s name — David M. Andrews. No “David M. Andrews” appeared in the search.

At the same time, a search was also done for “Regina Mescall” and her husband, “Peter M. Kramer.” Two screenshots showing that neither search now produced any hits are archived here.

In an effort to be thorough, a final search for “Shauna Boliker” was executed at noon, Central Time, again on February 16, 2023. As noted in the screenshot below, some, but not all, of the Boliker/Andrews property records, previously unavailable doing a search using her name, are now back up online.

Some, but not all. Comparing this screenshot to the list provided in the article on Boliker indicates that this is a partial rendition of her previously searched and reported records.

Possibly Operation Greylord should have dug deeper into the protection racket afforded these judges.

Other researchers who are relying on the integrity of internet searches and records should take heed.

Dean Sallas, who is the subject of the cases involving Judges Boliker and Mescall, was rendered homeless largely through the actions of these Cook County judges. At last report, the former millionaire, age 84, was evicted and living in his car in sub-freezing weather in Skokie, Illinois.
