I have a story to tell you about 59-year-old Regina Taylor, the cooperating witness said.

She takes bribes and she works at the Cook County Recorder of Deeds.

And if you need to get something filed or backdated or anything, she will ram that right through for you in exchange for a bribe.

They said, all right, that sounds good.

Can you introduce somebody to her?

And they go, yeah.

So they sent an undercover FBI agent from Chicago, former colleague of mine.

And what he did is he said, listen, I got a problem here.

I have this quit claim deed.

My mom died, and I want to transfer her property to my name.

And using this quit claim deed, which would do exactly that, can you do that and predate it?

So it makes it look like this was filed 18 months ago back when mom was alive.

Right.

You know what Regina said?

No problem.

She said, I am shocked you would ask me.

I am a government employee.

I took an oath of office.

No, she didn't say that at all.

She said, I'd be happy to do that for how much bribe?
