Here's $5,000 - thankyouverymuch

RITA Corp., 850 S. Route 31, Crystal Lake, Ill.
Whatever would possess Undersheriff Andy Zinke to reveal to Brian Goode, President of RITA Corporation in Crystal Lake, that a large shipment of cannabis was headed there?

If some doper on the truck dock is going to hide 4,000 pounds of marijuana in the back of his Honda Civic after work, Goode wouldn't know about that, would he?

7/13/12 Zinke tells Brian Goode about confidential DEA investigation.

9/18/12 $1,000 political donation to Zinke from Reliance Tool & Mfg, Elgin.
9/18/12 $1,000 political donation to Zinke from Home State Bank, Crystal Lake
9/18/12 $5,000 political donation to Zinke from R.I.T.A. Corp., Crystal Lake

What coincidence would there be in the same reporting date for three donations to Zinke's political fund? Was that date chosen for convenience, or was it the actual date on which the donations were received by the Citizens to Elect Zinke campaign, which uses RITA Corporation for its mailing address?

And why does the Schedule A-1 for the Campaign show a "Received" stamp at the State Board of Elections with the date "Sep 17 2012", but the Schedule A-1 is dated 9/18/12?

Of course, there is no connection between the leak of information in July and the five grand donated in September. No connection! Right?

Reliance Tool and Home State Bank made $1,000 contributions to Zinke's campaign fund. Just happened to be at the same time as RITA Corp's contribution. It must just be a coincidence.

Not sure who the campaign Treasurer's employer might be. The last name looks like Narusis; the first name (signature) is illegible. I think a fax machine at Home State Bank, Crystal Lake, was used in a previous campaign report filing.

As long as a candidate for a public office puts names out there for us all to see, we can write the name anytime we like.

Especially, when those named have linked THEMSELVES to said candidate by giving them money for the purpose of furthering a public election.

I just enjoy reading all you "Im telling my lawyer" people.

"Truth" is an absolute defense.... Gus never accused anybody of anything other than what is fact, those mentioned all gave Zinke money. Period.

If your mind wanders beyond that, well, that's your paranoia!
