Illinois. He joined, as partner, the Chicago office of Skadden, Arps, Slate, Meagher &

special counsel for the U.S. Department of Justice Office of Special Counsel,

of staff Scooter
Libby for perjury.[3][4]
As a federal prosecutor, Fitzgerald led a number of
high-profile investigations, including ones that led to convictions of Illinois
Governors Rod Blagojevich
and George Ryan, media

several aides to Chicago Mayor Richard Daley in the Hired Truck Program, and Chicago detective and torturer Jon Burge.

As Gov. Rod Blagojevich attempts
a last-minute
media blitz before his impeachment trial, Mayor Richard Daley is
offering a one-word summation of the governor's behavior.
Today the mayor puckered his lips and in a high-pitched, sing-song
voice used the word "cuckoo" to describe Blagojevich.
It was the second time in four months that Daley sang like a
fake bird poking out of a clock when asked a question about Blagojevich.
Since the first "cuckoo" proclamation last September,
Blagojevich has been arrested on federal corruption
charges, impeached by the Illinois House and called to stand trial in the state
Senate.
Blagojevich is calling the trial a sham, saying it's an attempt
to get him out of the way so state lawmakers can raise taxes. At his news
conference today, Daley was asked about that.
"I said 'cuckoo' once, I'll say it again," Daley said
said. "Cuckoo."
As the media and his staff laughed, the mayor smiled and walked
out of the room, ending the news conference on that note.
Back in September, Daley sang "cuckoo" to the media
when asked about Blagojevich's claim that CTA President Ron Huberman was being dishonest about the
financial impact of the governor's mandate of free rides for seniors in an
effort to justify fare increases.
