Fitzgerald: This is baloney, Tony

'MISLEADING ASSUMPTION' | Fed prosecutor says flier implies he endorsed Peraica

BY ABDON M. PALLASCH

U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has asked Republican Cook County state's attorney candidate Tony Peraica to stop passing out a campaign flier that looks to Fitzgerald like Peraica is claiming his endorsement.

The flier shows side-by-side photos of Fitzgerald and Peraica and says, "U.S. Attorney's Office Needs Help Fighting Corruption in Cook County."

Fitzgerald said in his letter he had never even met Peraica. "The flier creates the misleading assumption that I have endorsed your candidacy. . . . That is by no means the case. I have never endorsed any candidate in any race for anything (much less someone I do not believe I have yet had occasion to meet.)"

Fitzgerald's letter asks Peraica how many of the fliers he has sent out "and where they have been distributed and what efforts have been made to retrieve them."

Peraica said he will make no efforts to retrieve them.

"I don't think the flier is inappropriate," Peraica said. "I think any objective examination of that door-hanger piece would show that no endorsement is stated or implied."

1. Another lying, shameless Republican

Why would anyone be surprised? That's all they do, and they're brazen about it.

"Peraica said he will make no efforts to retrieve them."

Nice. Spit in Fitzgerald's eye while you're at it, why don't you? Spit in America's eye.

2. So if Dems sent out fliers with Tony's pic next to Hilary Clinton's pic...

Tony wouldn't mind. Of course that "door-hanger piece would show that no endorsement is stated or implied".
