Illinois Attorney General Kwame Raoul finds himself in the unpleasant position of defending the indefensible. At a court hearing yesterday, Raoul got off to a rocky start. Despite 450 attorneys working for him, Illinois’ top lawyer couldn’t even muster enough juris doctors to defend each of four named defendants in the first court hearing. In the end, the hearing happened and only the named defendants of the Governor and Attorney General had legal representation. Earlier in the evening, sources also confirmed to Illinois Review that Raoul’s office asked for a one-week continuation, but that request was denied.
