Big Head DC has learned that Larry Sinclair, the Minnesota man who claims to have used drugs and had sex with Sen. Barack Obama in 1999, is in the process of filing an affidavit with homicide detectives at the Chicago Police Department. The affidavit involves Sinclair’s alleged communications with Donald Young, a gay choirmaster at Obama’s controversial church, who was murdered just before Christmas 2007. Sinclair has said that Young contacted him several times before his murder. It is believed that they discussed in detail Sinclair’s allegations.

Big Head DC is in the process of obtaining the full affidavit.

    This is a lead in an open murder investigation. The police department has an obligation to conduct a full investigation.

    I want to know whether Dan Parisi ever knew David Axelrod in a personal capacity.

    Thanks, Larry, it be interesting to see how the Chicago Tribune will print the news on this, if they do. I did some research on Chicago Tribune’s endorsement of Barack Obama. It was given in an almost caveat measure with scrutiny and cricism in his
    his association with Rezko. Wonder what they will say now with questions relating to communications from one of his church associates to a complete stranger in relation to a previous phone call to Obama’s campaign. Strange happenings are a comin’.

    #54 Terry - If democrats don’t want to deal with this issue, they may want to look around. I only wish a lot of democrats had done the research before they settled on this simulated rock star. He has been given a real pass in the media and does not like to answer questions.

    The Republicans are going to drag out Wright, Rezko, Ayers, and yes Larry Sinclair. They’re just waiting. There are some who feel that Larry is a Republican plant. I have my doubts. He was trying to get his story out last fall. It was all over the internet in Oct and Nov. with postings from pajamasmedia and others. Republicans would have waited and put this out long after Obama had received the nomination. They would have no desire to bring it out now. Don’t for a minute think they don’t know who Larry is.

    Dave….

    As distasteful as it is, I have come to find out that a “Hungry Bottom” is a term used by homosexuals who enjoy have male organs stuff up their bums. In this case, it refers to an ad place by Larry Sinclair on a Sex Site when he was in Laredo.

    Apparently, Larry was feeling particularly horny and he chose to describe his “bottom” as being “hungry”. To fill it, apparently he wanted a “well-endowed Black male or Mexican”.

    This is the guy who so many have pinned their hopes too to topple Obama.

    On to more salient topics:

    Does anyone notice how whenever I post a plethora of claims that he can’t deny, Larry just continues to expose more and more information about me?

    He cannot deny the things I post so all he does is give more and more information about who I am. He’s even started calling my home (or others have on his behalf) and if he thinks for a moment that Nan and I are going to stop, his bottom is full and it’s not with a penis.

    I will update soon with what I have learned about this so called “affidavit” and also share some information Nan got when speaking with the Chicago police department homicide division.

    I told you Lar-Tard….we are fearless and regardless of what you try and heap on us, we are in it until:

    1. You provide irrefutable truth that Barack Obama is as you claim, or:

    2. It is proven that you are a fat, lying douche motivated by God knows what to draw attention to his con-artist self.

    Beyond that, why would anyone in Larry’s position and how can any of you in their right mind, expect him to get a free pass?

    It simply defies all logic and the basic tenants of what is unique about this country.

    I choose (as does Nan) to be dissenters. That is our right in this country. Just as it our right to believe Larry is a fat, lying douche if we choose.

    I have too much class to expose (believe it or not) the information on Larry’s mother or his brother and sister. They didn’t asked to have a loser for a relative.

    Unlike Larry who is now feeding up my sister and brother-in-law and their pre-school children, I won’t do that.

    One key point he has gotten wrong though, the “cousin” attorney is actually a brother attorney and if he goes there…..look out chubs. You’ll have more than a hungry bottom.

    Assuming Larry is not lying about this. The police would talk to him because he is considered a threat to Obama. This info will be sent to the secret service who by now have a file on this nut case. If they see him anywhere near Obama he gets a new hole in his head. End of story.

    Mitch, Larry does not bother with wasting his time denying your self served fabricated stories. Wasn’t it just yesterday that you emailed Larry claiming that Larry was not even his real name? People do find you to be a bit off your rocker posting here on BHDC under multiple names holding a conversation with yourself. You do you think believes your claim that all these agencies are just opening telling you all this stuff when they do not tell others calling asking for the same info? You are one sick son of a bitch, but I hope Larry and his attorney bury you and your alter ego Nan.

    Corruption Is Charged in Chicago Sheriff’s Office
    http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=950DE3DA1438F933A1575BC0A96F948260

    LEAD: The sheriff of Cook County pressed for the dismissal of two of his officers today as a newspaper reported allegations that the department had suppressed investigations of murders and internal corruption for years.

    The sheriff of Cook County pressed for the dismissal of two of his officers today as a newspaper reported allegations that the department had suppressed investigations of murders and internal corruption for years.

    The two officers were suspended Friday after reporters preparing an article for Sunday’s issue of The Chicago Tribune interviewed Sheriff James O’Grady.

    The article said the sheriff’s officers have concealed evidence, thwarted efforts to interview witnesses and hidden their own relationships with suspects and victims in murder investigations dating back 15 years.

    Telephone calls from The Associated Press to the sheriff’s department for comment on The Tribune’s report were unanswered today. Accused of Role in Robbery

    The officers suspended Friday are Lieut. William H. Martin, 55 years old, a 22-year veteran of the department, and Deputy Larry Geanes, 39, a 6-year employee of the Court Services Department. They are both accused of participating in a 1986 robbery of a suburban drug dealer.

    A spokesman for the department, William Currie, said today that Sheriff O’Grady will press the State’s Attorney’s Office to file criminal charges against the men and will go before a merit board to seek their dismissal. Neither officer could be reached for comment.

    The sheriff’s department runs the county jail and has a 500-member police force to cover the 177 square miles of Cook County outside Chicago.

    The Tribune’s article said no one has been convicted of an organized crime murder in Cook County in more than two decades. The sheriff’s department has run the investigations of most of the estimated 70 such killings in the Chicago area in the last 25 years. The case in which the two officers were suspended began to unravel Feb. 2, 1987, after a street-level drug dealer and police informant, Dwayne Henderson, was shot twice in the head and his body left in an isolated area.

    For a year and a half, high-ranking sheriff’s officials prevented investigators from pursuing the case, the newspaper said, quoting unidentified sources. The article said the death was linked to a robbery and extortion ring that had been set up by Henderson and other officers and jail guards to prey on suburban drug dealers. Evidence Hidden, Files Sanitized

    Rather than expose allegations that officers and guards were suspects in the case, high-ranking sheriff’s officials hid evidence and sanitized files, The Tribune said, citing interviews and department records.

    Sheriff O’Grady, elected in 1986, told The Tribune he first heard of the charges of a cover-up in the middle of 1988. He said some high-ranking officers indicated to investigators that they should ‘’tread slowly'’ in trying to solve the murder.

    The sheriff said his concern about the investigation led him to inform the Federal Bureau of Investigation about it.

    Many of the cover-ups described in the article took place in the administration of Sheriff Richard Elrod, who was in office from 1970 through 1986. Mr. Elrod, now a Cook County Circuit Court judge, told the newspaper, ‘’I had no inkling'’ of the activities charged in the article.
