Judge Michael Chmiel of Illinois; perjurer, moron, ethically impaired Judge Michael Chmiel apparently believes it is appropriate to lie under oath. On Saturday, June 16, 2007, Judge Michael Chmiel improperly [illegally] held a special court proceeding to help a political ally’s brother to stay out of jail. Cool!
Recently, The Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board laughingly said that Judge Michael’s actions were willful misconduct that harms the administration of justice and brings the office into disrepute. Disrepute you say? Yeah sure!
The illegal court proceeding came about after Cary police arrested truck driver David W. Miller on charges of obstructing justice and a host of traffic-related offenses. Miller took off after being stopped by the police so as to prevent the officer from weighing his vehicle.
 After his arrest, Miller was transferred to the County lockup where he would have to remain until Monday when a judge could set his bond. Miller’s brother, Algonquin Township Highway Commissioner Bob Miller (another ethical twerp) went into action on his brother’s behalf by calling Judge Michael Chmiel to intervene. Bob Miller and Judge Michael Chmiel have been friends and political associates for many years. Mr. Miller has contributed funds to Judge Michael Chmiel political campaigns in the past.
 Judge Michael Chmiel and Bob Miller worked together on the election campaign of Illinois Supreme Court Justice Bob Thomas. It was Justice Thomas who subsequently appointed Judge Michael Chmiel to a circuit court judgeship. A little quid-pro-quo if ya will! Obviously, Justice Thomas didn’t much give a damn that Judge Michael Chmiel wasn’t qualified to sit on the bench. The only qualification required of Justice Bob Thomas was the fact that Judge Michael Chmiel was a reliable bootlicker who was willing to don a pair of industrial strength knee pads.
The Judicial Commission complaint further alleges that later, on October 12, 2007, during sworn testimony before the Board regarding the aforementioned special bond hearing, Respondent made false and misleading statements [perjury], and otherwise failed to disclose Robert Miller’s involvement in causing that hearing to have occurred.
Even though it cannot be disputed that Judge Michael Chmiel is a felonious perjurer and ethical gnome, it is highly likely that his punishment will result in him receiving a “complimentary reprimand” from the Illinois Supreme Court.
