is in Kass’s column today.
Amiel Cueto, the imprisoned, yet soon-to-be-released southern Illinois political boss, recently received a coming-out present.
His enemy, Miriam Miquelon, the woman who put him behind bars for using his law license to protect the gambling rackets, is now out of her job as U.S. attorney of the Southern District.
So, as Cueto prepares for one of those welcome-home red meat political dinners, Miquelon leaves the prosecutor’s office under a cloud.
Miquelon won’t discuss the alleged relationship which is fine, but such a relationship is inappropriate. It isn’t illegal however, and it may or may not be prohibited by DOJ rules. Kass misses this point, but makes an equally strong point that most of the complaints are meant to destroy her credibility so they are suspect.
She does strongly deny that she investigated political opponents and without evidence that she did, I’m highly suspect.
