Democrat leaders claim they value diversity and indeed they are showing a great deal of diversity in the crimes the party officials routinely commit. In the latest case of a Democrat official criminally charged, the offense happens to be hacking into a Republican colleague’s computer and the Democrat in question is Jacqueline Traynere of Illinois.
On August 20, Patch.com reported that Will County Board Member Jacqueline Traynere has been charged with three counts of computer tampering. The complaint goes back to March 2024 when Traynere allegedly accessed her Republican colleague Judy Ogalla’s email without authorization. Steve Balich, another Republican board member, described Traynere’s actions as “illegally logging into Board Chair Judy Ogalla’s email and forwarding an exchange between Ogalla and Balich to County Executive Jennier Bertino-Tarrant.”
Though Balich filed a criminal complaint against Traynere with the local police, nothing seemed to happen and he held a press conference in July 2024 wherein he publicly raised the question of inaction on behalf of the law enforcement.
As reported in media, computer tampering is a misdemeanor in Illinois. The X account Libs of Chicago posted that Traynere is calling the criminal charges against her “politically motivated.”
Traynere’s court hearing is scheduled for September 9 and it will be left to the court to decide the case involving the Democrat politician, though not for the first time. In March this year, Traynere made news for hitting an underage bicyclist with her car. Shaw Local News Network reported (July 30) that Traynere called the collision a “minor traffic accident” and initially received a traffic citation of failure to yield at a crosswalk. But then it was amended to a state charge of failure to exercise due care to avoid a collision. In IL, this state charge counts as a petty offense.
Interestingly, when Traynere’s trial was held in the second week of May, the eye witness who had reported seeing her strike the boy’s bicycle wither car failed to show up to testify. On this ground, the case against her was dismissed. Conservative news platform Next News Network was skeptical of the way Traynere’s case was handled and investigated why this was not treated as a case of hit and run. The channel’s producer lead anchor Gary Franchi called up Bolingbrook Mayor Mary Alexander-Basta to ask about the case and recorded the call for audiences.
