but was she ever accused of any actual corruption (that at least had some substance to it)?

Never that I recall. Like I said, she made her name openly going after corruption in Chicago. She made far more enemies than friends at City Hall, going back to the Daley era.

I know the optics of Lori being hired here are funny, but if she was really a crook, she'd probably still be mayor. I believe it's more likely she goes after Henyard hard, and tries to make an example out of her.
