The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
More recently, though, there was some news out of The Brick City that could cast McCarthy’s tenure there in a different, much less reverential light.
The U.S. Department of Justice has decided a federal monitor must run the Newark force, according to the Newark Star-Ledger. A Newark city government spokeswoman said Tuesday that the monitor’s appointment was not yet finalized but was the “likely” outcome of a federal probe of the department that focused on McCarthy’s tenure there.
The U.S. attorney’s office in New Jersey announced it was opening the investigation into the Newark police on May 9, 2011, days before Emanuel was sworn in as Chicago mayor. Emanuel had just introduced McCarthy as his first top cop.
The federal probe in Newark followed a lawsuit seeking a monitor that was filed in 2010 by the American Civil Liberties Union of New Jersey.

We’ll have to wait to see if McCarthy let them film him having drinks at Harry Caray’s with his buddy, the controversial city contractor Ricky “The King of Janitors” Simon.
Rick Simon has been linked to the
Chicago Mob.
