There are going to be some interesting questions asked of Democratic (Party) Congressional Campaign Committee Chairman Rahm Emanuel.

And, it won’t be at a press conference.

It will be at a deposition, unless Emanuel can extract himself from a federal lawsuit just filed Thursday.

8th congressional district peace candidate Bill Scheurer apparently didn’t get the 14,000 signatures required to get on the ballot as a candidate for the Moderate Party, but, besides running a write-in campaign, Scheurer has sued various Democratic Party officials, including Emanuel.

McHenry County Blog reported last Friday how Scheurer was duped by what certainly must be a Democratic Party operative.

The operative, whose name remains unknown, used a card from an employee of first term Democratic Party Congressman Dan Lapinski to convince Scheurer than he was the employee, a guy who runs a political consulting firm on the side.

The impostor promised to get at least 10,000 petition signatures for Scheurer, but didn’t deliver, leaving Scheurer short of the necessary 14,000 names a week before filing.

Scheurer won’t be on the ballot this fall, but he will extract revenge until the suit is concluded. Besides the suit, he will run a write-in campaign.

Congressman Lipinski is also named in the suit.
