A day after he was indicted on federal tax evasion charges, Cook County Commissioner William Beavers had a message for U.S Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald.No comment on this story from former Chief of Staff William Daley or for Chicago Mayor Daley.
“F--- him,” Beavers said.
Beyond saying he doesn’t “give a f---” about the federal prosecutor, the outspoken Beavers also insisted he has done nothing wrong and said he will not step down from public office.
“I’ll be right in there at next week’s meeting and intend to stay — I’m not going nowhere,” Beavers told the Sun-Times Friday, referring to next Thursday’s County Board meeting.
That could get interesting.
Beavers claims the federal case was launched in retaliation for his refusing an FBI request to “wear a wire on John Daley” a fellow commissioner and brother of former Mayor Daley.
