Madigan confidant Michael McClain reports to prison

Former ComEd lobbyist Michael McClain, a longtime ally and confidant of disgraced former House Speaker Michael Madigan, reported to prison Monday to serve a two-year sentence for his role in what federal prosecutors have described as a sprawling bribery scheme targeting Madigan, federal prison records show.

According to the Federal Bureau of Prisons inmate locator, McClain, 78, is being held at a minimum-security prison camp with an adjoining medical facility in Kentucky.

His time in custody begins about 2 ½ years after he was convicted of playing a central role in an arrangement to funnel hundreds of thousands of dollars in no-work contracts and other perks to Madigan associates in exchange for the speaker’s help with ComEd’s legislative agenda.

U.S. District Judge Manish Shah sentenced McClain to two years in prison at a July hearing, calling his relationship with Madigan “a criminal alliance” that McClain had taken pains to conceal.

“It’s important for the punishment to reflect the harsh fact that this was corruption,” the judge said.

Prosecutors had originally asked for 70 months in prison, but dramatically reduced that ask to 36 months based on sentences handed down to other defendants in the “ComEd 4” and new information about McClain’s ill health.

Earlier this year, a jury convicted Madigan himself on 10 counts of bribery conspiracy and other corruption charges. Madigan reported in October to a low-security federal prison camp in West Virginia to begin serving his 7 ½ -year sentence on corruption charges. That prison camp is about 350 miles from the facility where McClain is now serving time.
