1. Just heard. Requires investigation to determine if there was anything more than monetary motive.

7. I heard the guy on MSNBC say that. It struck me as ridiculous
A good example of what happens when people talk just so they don't have dead air. These crooks have been reselling plots for years. What possible political motive would there be?

9. "What possible political motive would there be?" - I have no idea...
That's why they do investigations.

10. well, okay. It's still ridiculous.
People commit horrible crimes for money.

The possibility that there is a "deeper" motive (I can't recall the adjective the MSNBC guy used, but I was left with the interpretation that it implied "more") because years after the swindle was started the daughter of someone buried there became first lady isn't worth investigating, IMO. But, whatever. I guess stupider things have been investigated.

5. All African Americans in the Chicago has some family buried
at Burr Oak. At one time it was the only cemetery that accepted blacks. So I figured it was a matter of time before it was reviled the Michelle Obama had family there.
The people responsible for this is facing class x felony charges. I hope they get the max and have to serve every second of their sentences.
