Dave Bachmann, who unsuccessfully ran as a Democrat for Coroner four years ago, has a blog entitled, “Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry.”
It’s up and it’s down, but, as of now, it’s up.
The top of Dave Bachmann’s “Dirty Keith v. Dirty Harry” blog today.
Bachmann has a couple of observations about the affidavit about Undersheriff Andy Zinke, which was filed by McHenry County Sheriff’s Deputy John Koziol, that you might find of interest.
Note this visit to McHenry County Blog came on a Saturday morning. Having been a Federal employee (in the United States Budget Bureau during the Lyndon Johnson Administration–Civil Service), I know dedicated employees work overtime. In fact, a U.S. Postal Inspector called me from his vacation in St. Louis asking for evidence that I believe helped convince Roger Stanley to strike a deal with the U.S. Attorney’s Office with regard to a mail fraud charge.
Now, I’ll admit the link did not come straight from Washington to McHenry County Blog.
And whoever from the Justice Department was looking was interested in Greg Pyle, who Friday was denied bail on of aggravated sexual abuse of a child and producing child pornography by the sexual exploitation of a child.
It went by way of Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry, David Bachmann’s blog about the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department.
Bachmann has come out of remission to display maps where he thinks how “places children may be being moved about for the purposes of Criminal acts.”
He adds, “Many very tiny towns, many with populations of 300 persons, near to state or N[ational] Parks and or campgrounds, all just off a major interstate arterial systems, all with a major metropolitan area not far away. These type places have little to no consistent police attention.
“The perfect profile for criminal activity as it relates to human trafficking and drug smuggling.”
Bachmann has also posted a YouTube video of Pyle people might find of interest.
Former Democratic Party McHenry County Coroner’s candidate and, more recently, careful watcher of the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department David Bachmann is back on line.
Given the second arrest of one of Keith Nygren’s Sergeants, a man named Greg Pyle, Bachmann runs the following headline on the top of this publication:
Clearly, Bachmann is pleased at the Federal involvement.
And not a fan of the leadership in the Sheriff’s Department.
If you haven’t taken a look recently, he has some observations you might find of interest.
Today, Bachmann has added a map of Wisconsin marked with places from which his blog got hits. He promises more state maps in the coming days.
Dave Bachmann thinks these marked towns, sources of hits on his blog, might be significant.

One never knows how long Dave Bachmann will keep his “Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry” blog to remain on the internet, but there are a couple of posts up that might be of interest.
If you are interested in Dave Bachmann’s take on what another Deputy that McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren fired said in the deposition that he gave in Zane Seipler’s Federal wrongful termination suit, another installment has been posted on Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry.
Bachmann continues telling what Deputy Scott Milliman told him the night of Nygren’s re-election in 2010.
Included are two visits to U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and his rejection by the FBI in Rockford, where Fitzgerald sent him after their visit.
This is the top of today's story on Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry.
If you are not following the story about Keith Nygren from David Bachmann’s (the 2008 Democratic Party’s 2008 candidate for McHenry County Coroner) point of view, you might find it of interest.
With the decision on naming a Special Prosecutor for Sheriff Nygren due Monday, the allegations being laid out by Bachmann, which seem mainly based on a 2010 election night conversation with Deputy Scott Milliman, are far more serious than what Associate Judge Thomas Meyer is considering.
Bachmann repeats what he was told of the meeting of Nygren and Milliman at Vaughan’s Restaurant at the Woodstock corner of Route 47 and old Route 14.
He then tells of the meeting afterward with FBI agents at the K-Mart parking lot and reprises the probably concurrent encounter of Nygren with then-Green Party Sheriff’s candidate Gus Philpott in the Jewel parking lot.
On his way home, Nygren GOP primary opponent Zane Seipler sees Milliman’s car in the parking lot and pulls in to talk to him.
You really need to read the original, but let me excerpt this paragraph:
“According to Milliman, a very loud argument then ensued between himself and the agents! This was when Milliman claims things between he and the FBI began going south very quickly. Seemingly, a ‘trust’ fell apart right there in an FBI vehicle.”
Have to include this subsequent paragraph, too. It brought a “Wow!” to my brain when I read it:
“Upon reflection on former deputy Milliman’s statement that when Nygren arrived at the Vaughn’s Restaurant appearing very disheveled, sweaty and extremely nervous, it is my belief that it is highly possible that an FBI agent tipped off Nygren.”
More to come on Monday, Bachmann writes.
David Bachmann’s blog, which he calls “Dirty Harry vs. Dirty Keith,” is back on your computer screen, if you click here.
Dave Bachmann puts this sign for Zacatecas, Mexico on his blog.
“Bag man” appears on the screen. And, search and you find a sizable amount mentioned.
He says the Northwest Herald, which somehow got a copy of the supposedly secret deposition of Scott Milliman in the Federal case, “cherry picked” what the paper put in its article. Bachmann uses the word “half-truth.”
His recent pieces have been revealing more of the contents of the bowl of fruit.
He cites a Rockford-based Federal Judge’s participation in Woodstock’s Mexican Sister City program.
David Bachmann's Mexican Identification Card.
Bachmann reveals he has working for the Department of Justice in Mexico “during the very time McHenry County had its officers and elected officials in Mexico.”
Bank documents are mentioned, but not revealed, although the name of one local bank and another that whose assets were seized by the FDIC can be found in what Bachmann wrote. A third Elgin bank remains unnamed.
Something about Genoa seems to be forthcoming.
He shows photos of an FBI wire supposed worn by Milliman in an investigation into Nygren.
Now-suspended computer expert Deputy Greg Pyle’s name comes up.
Bachmann does all of this from a “first person” perspective.
The series of articles are headed,
Somehow, I’ll be a lot of people are copying and saving the most recent posts on “Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry.”
That’s because one can never be sure when Bachmann will take his blog down.
And Bachmann has written,
“When we post the entire story and name names, you will not only be stunned by what Deputy Milliman has claimed, you will also have some information nobody has ever heard before. “
Greg Pyle
My guess is that Chicago media will be reporting on the arrest of McHenry County Sheriff’s Department Sgt. Greg Pyle on, maybe even before, Monday.
Ten counts of Predatory Criminal Sexual Assault, according to Illinois State Police Spokesperson Monique Bond.
Crystal Lake Deputy Police Chief Gene Lowery told me that his Department was not involved.
I learned from State Police Public Information Officer Bond that the McHenry County State’s Attorney’s Office requested that state agency’s assistance.
McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s investigators and the State Police’s District 2 Investigative Division personnel led the way.
The allegations surfaced on Friday.
“It was very fluid here,” she said Sunday.
Bianchi could not be reached for comment.
As of early Sunday afternoon, the Northwest Herald was running with an unposted press release from Keith Nygren’s department. The NWH reports the press release says the cause for police involvement “domestic issue involving the officer and his family.”
That is at wide variance with what Woodstock Advocate‘s Gus Philpott has written. See
First Electric Newspaper weighed in with this article:
The new masthead of "Dirty Harry vs. Dirty Keith."
Also weighing in is Dave Bachmann, who has put his “Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry” blog back up…at least the part about Greg Pyle. His masthead now says, “Again, “Dirty Keith Blog” Was On Target!”
There are too many more articles which you might find of interest.
Also found on the internet is the following paragraph:
“In a recent interview with Detective Gregory Pyle of the McHenry County Sheriff’s department, I learned that approximately 1 in 5 children with full internet access were approached by a predator on the internet last year. Detective Pyle is a member of the Illinois Chapter of the ICAC, or Internet Crimes against Children Task Force. The task force is a subset of The Center for Missing and Exploited Children and the Department of Justice. Education is the key according to Detective Pyle. Unfortunately they do not have the budget to educate everyone. This, I believe, is our Calling.”
Two Sheriff's Deputies perform maneuvers on motocycles at McHenry's Fiesta Days Parade. Click to enlarge any image.
Yesterday, Part 1 of this story ran on McHenry County Blog.
McHenry County Sheriff Keith Nygren and his wife Marge wave at folks lining McHenry's Fiesta Days Parade.
Put in its narrowest context, the question asked by Zane Seipler, the Republican whom incumbent Sheriff Keith Nygren beat in the GOP primary, is
“Should a driver of a privately-owned, apparently unlicensed convertible from which the Sheriff and his wife are waving to the crowd be (have been) paid out of taxpayer dollar?”
In the case of the McHenry County State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi candy uproar, Nygren said he would welcome an independent investigation.
Seipler makes the following observations about Nygren in a parade different from the entry seen above in McHenry (you can see the photo he uses here):
And he adds, speaking directly to personnel at the Northwest and Daily Heralds:
“We have a total of 72, APPROVED OVERTIME SLIPS, related to the last five parade seasons. (2006-2010)…
“Hey Jillian Duchowski, Kevin Lyons and Chuck Keeshan, (Daily Herald and Northwest Herald) we know you are reading this.
“You guys even a little bit interested?”
McHenry County Auditor Pam Palmer was in the 2008 4th of July Parade in Crystal Lake.
Seipler quotes County Auditor Palmer as saying,
“No other county officers submit parade expenses for reimbursement,
“No other county officers submit parade expenses for reimbursement.”
Then says,
“Wait a second, WHAT DID SHE SAY?????”
In his blog, Dave Bachmann takes after the three Democratic County Board members.
He thinks they should be leading the charge against the Sheriff’s parade expenditures. After all, their party has an active candidate for sheriff.
He also wonders,
“”WHY she (County Auditor Pam Palmer) approved seven, (7) ‘OVERTIME HOURS’ for a Deputy Sheriff who as proved by submitting the attached Sheriff’s Department document, participated in a Parade?”
The parade was in Hebron, which is, as former resident Bachmann says, one of the county’s smallest villages.
He asks,
“Are you Serious Auditor Pam Palmer???? Seven HOURS of ‘OVERTIME PAY’ for a parade in the tiny one street village of Hebron, Illinois?”
Seipler makes a comment that reminds me of what my wife said after I lost the Republican primary election for state representative ten years ago:
“Of course we will be talking with others about this because we have nothing else to do.
“Being wrongfully terminated frees up a lot of time!”
My wife observed that those who worked so hard to get me out of office probably didn’t realize how much time it would free up for inquiry into local political and governmental matters.
Actually, I think her words were a bit more pithy than that.
Keith Nygren
Lou Bianchi
In case you haven’t noticed the forces grouped behind McHenry County Sheriff are at war with the forces behind McHenry County State’s Attorney.
I have no clue when the war started, but it was manifested in Sheriff Keith Nygren‘s not emceeing State’s Attorney Lou Bianchi’s re-election kick-off.
DanRegna
The recruitment of Dan Regna, an assistant state’s attorney under the discredited regime of State’s Attorney Gary Pack intensified the battle.
The use of sheriff’s deputies and another former assistant state’s attorney to induce the now 25-year old college student Amy Dalby, who worked for Bianchi, to take and provide computerized internal documents, including ones which looked political, for what certainly appears to be political purposes added to the intensity.
Regna didn’t fade away, instead sought and received a special prosecutor from Associate Judge Gordon Graham to look into charges that Bianchi used his office for political forces.
Friday a Grand Jury was authorized with former Judge Skip Tonigan continuing as the special prosecutor named by Graham.
Zane Seipler
Supporters of Regna are also supporters of Graham. That they seek a negative outcome for Bianchi is a given.
Sally Wiggins
Nygren primary opponent Zane Seipler has asked for a similar special prosecutor to look into Nygren’s use of his office for political purposes.
Enter the wild card of attorney Sally Wiggins, who at this very moment is seeking petitions to run against Graham as an Independent.
Rest assured this has not gone unnoticed by Bianchi supporters.
Pete Gonigam’s First Electric Newspaper has reported and confirmed that Bianchi has hired defense attorney Terry Ekle to represent him in the investigation that Graham set in motion.
Mike Mahon
Gus Philpott
Meanwhile, Nygren has both a Democratic and Green Party candidates lined up in opposition in the November general election. Most observers think that having both Democrat Mike Mahon and Green Gus Philpott, who writes the Woodstock Advocate, will help Nygren emerge victorious.
The Northwest Herald continues to prop Nygren up, while the Woodstock Advocate, the McHenry County Sheriff’s Department Exposed, which supported Seipler in the primary election, and, once in a while (yesterday, but not today), former Democratic Party candidate for Coroner Dave Bachmann’s Dirty Keith vs. Dirty Harry weigh in on the pros and cons of the candidates.

McHenry County Monopoly, a campaign piece local Democrats put out in 2008.
But, surely Republicans remember the devastating McHenry County Monopoly piece mailed out two years ago. Then, there wasn’t enough money to get it to everyone, but you can see below now good it was. See
There was no "GO" square on the game of McHenry County Monopoly.

Local Republicans have never come up with something as creative as the Democrats’ monopoly piece. It didn’t do them any good in the countywide races, but the Dems did pick up two county board seats.
Can’t you think of new items that could be added this year?
I certainly can. There are
