Just days before the primary election an Illinois Attorney General candidate comes under fire for an active federal lawsuit.
“Beyond police domestic response calls, Tom DeVore’s involvement in alleged criminal activity, detailed in an active federal lawsuit demonstrates he is unfit for the office of Attorney General of Illinois,” said Col. Larry Kaifesh USMC (Ret.). “This case has been continued so that it will not be resolved before the election.”

Kaifesh said this is another example of the failed moral character of Thomas DeVore, who is asking voters to make him Attorney for the people of Illinois.
The lawsuit describes how DeVore and Montgomery County deputy Aaron Morgan allegedly burglarized the plaintiffs of this case by breaking into the window of the Hatchery Building and then the pair allegedly broke a lock securing access to the office of plaintiff James Walch.
When the wife of James Walch confronted the pair…the deputy of Montgomery County Morgan said allegedly, ‘could take whatever he [DeVore] wanted.’
The background of this, Vincent (the son of the plaintiffs) filed for bankruptcy. DeVore was representing a the bank that ordered possession and seizure of certain items. With that order in hand, Defendant CNB Bank acting through its agents, Morgan and DeVore, Silver Lake Group went about securing Vincent Walch’s personal property and the property belonging to plaintiffs…James and Janis Walch.
The order did not provide defendants the right to search or seize any property belonging to plaintiffs or even traverse plaintiffs’ property.
Sources close to the case tell Cities that the property is actually in James Walch’s mother’s name and that Vincent was in possession of the property at the time of the replevin.
Replevin is a legal term. There was a court order lawfully authorized by the sheriff and the bank to be on all of this property, however lawfully recover the assets of only Vincent Walch.
The sheriff and law enforcement with the bank were on the property for over six hours and at no time did James Walch show up and according to sources close to the case Walch’s lawyer was involved.
According to unnamed sources close to the case, the property belonged to Vincent’s grandmother and Vince was in possession of it.
“We simply must make choices in favor of truth, starting right now, this week, if we want serious change,” said Kaifesh.
Kaifesh is referring to the federal lawsuit of Walch vs. Thomas DeVore.
The case arises from DeVore’s involvement in an alleged burglary, theft of an arsenal and conspiracy to deprive citizens of their constitutional rights.
