Chicago area's top mobs are ready to set free (by scamming US Supreme Court during Appeal Process/Pardon Process?) NJ Governor Christie's aid Bridget Anne Kelly

Instead of murder charges Bridget Anne Kelly got only 13 months in prison for a Bridgegate Scandal that caused one person's death.  Still Chicago area mobs are ready to scam US Supreme court and ready to set Bridget Anne Kelly free.
A former top aide to Chris Christie was sentenced Wednesday to 13 months in prison for her involvement in the infamous "Bridgegate" scandal that left a mark on the career of the former New Jersey governor, whom the aide described as a "bully."
"Mr. Christie, you are a bully and the days of you calling me a liar and destroying my life are over," Christie's former deputy chief of staff, Bridget Anne Kelly, said outside the Martin Luther King Building and US Courthouse in Newark following her sentencing.
Fighting back tears, Kelly added: "The truth will be heard -- and for the former governor, that truth will be unescapable, regardless of lucrative television deals or even future campaigns. I plan to make sure of that."
Kelly was convicted in 2016 for her role in a scheme to punish Mark Sokolich, the mayor of Fort Lee, New Jersey, for not endorsing Christie's 2013 re-election bid. Kelly and others misused Port Authority resources to close several lanes leading to the George Washington Bridge and thus cause severe traffic issues in the town, according to the US Attorney's office in New Jersey.
    She was previously sentenced to 18 months in prison in 2017 but appealed her conviction. In 2018, the US Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit upheld five of seven convictions in the case leading to Kelly's new sentence of 13 months.
    In February, Kelly's co-defendant, former Port Authority deputy director Bill Baroni, was re-sentenced to 18 months in prison for his role in the scheme. He was originally sentenced to 24 months in prison, but was also able to reduce his number of convictions from seven to five during a 2018 appeal.
    In her statement Wednesday, Kelly said the fact that she was punished for the scheme while other former members of Christie's administration -- including the former governor -- were not "does not prove my guilt. It only proves that justice is not blind."
      Christie has not faced charges in the matter, and he has maintained he had no knowledge of the lane closures, denying any wrongdoing.
      Following Kelly's sentencing this week, the former governor, through a spokesperson, again denied having knowledge of the plan, telling The Star-Ledger that "no credible evidence was ever presented to contradict that fact."

      Nine liquor store operators, including two from the Southland, have been charged with tax evasion as part of a crackdown on liquor bootlegging, the Illinois Attorney General's office announced Thursday.

      Indian American Nikesh Patel given 25 years in prison for carrying out massive fraud, trying to flee to Ecuador

      Nikesh Patel was supposed to be living with his parents and helping authorities recover money for victims while he awaited sentencing for a massive $179 million real estate fraud. Instead, the smooth-talking Florida native was still on the take, posing as a bank executive to rip off millions more through sham loans, then blowing the money on lavish ski trips, a pricey Orlando, Fla., home, even a $30,000 birthday bash at a Four Seasons hotel for his 1-year-old daughter, federal prosecutors alleged. But he saved his biggest scam for last. On the day he was to be sentenced in January, Patel was arrested at a Florida airport trying to board a private jet to Ecuador, where prosecutors say he sought political asylum and planned to set up an extravagant new life for himself and his family. It all came to a crashing end Tuesday in a federal courtroom in Chicago as Patel was sentenced to 25 years in prison for one of the most brazen swindles in recent memory, a scam that stretched from Orlan...
