Again?
- Federal agents returned to the City Hall offices of Ald. Ed Burke Thursday, two weeks after they carried out unprecedented raids on the longtime alderman’s Downtown and ward offices, sources said.
Federal investigators were looking for information they didn’t find during the first raid, sources said. The nature of the information sought was unknown.
On Nov. 29, federal investigators descended on Burke’s ward and City Hall offices and covered the windows with brown butcher paper. At City Hall, investigators spent at least five hours inside and left with boxes of records and computers.
Why would they think the information was still there two weeks later?
- Because someone is definitely talking. Someone who knows exactly what is being looked for and where to find it and they're giving it up to the feds.
We had another thought about the butcher paper covering the windows. Could the feds have had a camera in Burke's office and they didn't want anyone to know where or how it was hidden? Imagine what that would be like.

Aldercreature tough guy Arena is already jumping on the not even buried carcass of his City Hall colleague. Joining in with the rest of his corrupt ilk to try to strip away Burke's power. Way to go Arena. You actually make Burke sympathetic.
The only thing that would be better than this is if something led to Madigan and his play daughter.
Fucker hid the info before the 1st raid when someone got 'tipped off', and they've got notice that it returned! So they went to get it...
Probably went back to get their wire after installing it 2 weeks ago. That would be a cool thing to do: do the warrant and put in the wire, then wait for the goof to rant about how they didn't get this and that, and where the real books are kept! Pure genius....
YAWN it aint there.
RAHM got the heads up weeks ago.
search warrant 2 weeks after cmon!!!
Nobody smashed the cell phones.
Typical lazy FEDS all computers no real intel.
They could bug his ass but that would require surgery.
Bugs are high tec now. The G got all the good shit and best of luck to them at the bureau. They should of planted 100 in city hall. More $$$ is exchanged in mens rooms then a bank. They the rat elected fucks are lax and get stupid. Loved to see Rahm ' office hit. Or his basement crawl space at his crib were the wedding dress was.
Sorry, but I have zero confidence in the Justice Dept. as it is currently structured conducting a thorough and competent investigation into anything. As has always been said, "Never trust a fed".
Yes, they could have had a camera hidden in the office, SCC.
But the brown kraft paper has been a staple in how they conduct their raids for a very long time. At least thirty years, in my experience. It's quickly placed and it's effective in keeping prying eyes out.
Look at Ginger Evans statement in the Sun Times. Rahm’s fingerprints are all over this one. He gave him up to the G.
just a little misdirection courtesy of the local media.
bumblers didn't find it then so they can just keep on trying.
Is Tom Rowan still working there??
did they kick in the doors with guns drawn for that extra bit of drama?
hollywood would have this wrapped up in under an hour.
The Feds couldn’t find snow in January. Please...
I heard they were there to return the stapler they took by accident.
Butcher paper: brings back memories
Say what ya want this looks for real and he take that fucking fedora and stick it up his has ass. Wonder if the "wife" is gonna get splattered with the blow back
It's the cleaning lady. It's always the cleaning lady.
Always two visits with paper over the Windows.....
First one plants the bugs, second visit to remove them......
Too bad they didn't start with Rhamm......lotta bad Democrats out there......
They did it to badboyovitch, why not burke. Looks like burke was working the magic out at the airport and is about to get thrown into the frying pan.
Please, whatever it is, keep taking down the Chicago corruption, the Cook County corruption and Illinois corruption. It’s worse than any infestation this world has seen. Hell, more simply said, it’s the democrats. They’re 100% responsible for Illinois’ mess. Help the working class. Help!!! SOS!!!
Why do you think there is a contingent of police assigned to city hall after hours and they let any do nothing police hang around inside and out? The Feds can't plant any bugs!
They forgot his cuff links😳
Screw Burke how non clouted. Officers were denied promotions because of his
Merit picks. Only took care of the irish
Which offices are next/above/below Burke's office? bugs are indeed high tech, and can hear through walls, ceilings etc pretty well.
They are coming for him. He got caught putting the arm on all these vendors at the airports and the short lived female commissioner from out of state did him in. The Feds interviewed these folks and all made a deal and Mr. ICK is going down.
they should look into the cpmf and the money pat phil and his clout buddies steal every year, the expense accounts the dinners on tab and the take home cars.
I do not donate any more I donate to wounded warriors and shiners hospital
A friend had a security company in the 80's and was hired by Harold Washington to look for bugs in this office, limo and residence. They never found any bugs during their sweeps, at the time I thought it was over kill. However, looking at what's happening now, Burke should have done something similar.
You can put a listening device into a lightbulb these days. All mikes and cameras need power to operate and batteries last only a day or so. These devices need to be hardwired. But, putting up paper to screen what is going on inside an office is just standard procedure for these incidents.
Real reform in Chicago is impossible as long as the gibs me crowd keep elected the let-me-gib-you goofs. Can't your FOP or someone bring suit against the city to fund pensions??
Hope the feds catch the smug prick dirty along with his crime family this time around !
Another ghetto lottery payoff:
Jury awards $1.3 million to family of man fatally shot by Chicago police

CPD can never win here ever!
Next time I have to go inside a bank I want to tell
the cashier "More $$$ is exchanged in mens rooms
than a bank" and see her blush.
right on ,,,,listening devices and cameras maybe both installed ,with window paper covering up work done,, in 1st raid
Sounds like a mole , bodyguards, office assistant?
Now if all the Aldercreatures and the mayor were required to wear body cameras the FBI and DOJ in Illinois would cease to exist, now chew on that...
Just saw him on noon news clip flashing a star on his hip and getting into an unmarked police car...what a douchebag.
There is another possibility I have not yet seen discusses. What if they are looking for something that IS SUPPOSED to be there, but isn't? Consider this, maybe there is a bit of missing info that was shown to BE missing within the things snatched on the first raid, and this second raid is to remove the " well yall just missed it" excuse thus prohibiting his highness from producing faked docs LATER as a last moment attempt to dodge prosecution. Or, maybe it was something in particular they know was brought in AFTER the raid with his highness thinking that now after the raid it is the safest place to hide something - pretty much right out in the open.
Rahm's office is checked for bugs every day,first order of business. Transparency my ass!
Rahm throwing shade with his kooky pension and casino plan - right on cue.
Has Mousie Madigroin offered or solicited for any commentary about the raids?
She has been very, very quiet.
The way it works with any Hillary backer, two weeks is plenty to rearrange the furniture again and wipe a few more electronics, like...with a cloth.
I suspect this investigation relates to land development and real estate tax assessments and kingpins Burke-Madigan may be the just the tip of the iceberg. Did someone with a generous Dem donor budget, soon to fail not get what was promised and is now mighty ticked?
It will be interesting to see how it spreads into the AlderThiefWards and quick exiting Democrats.
Time to shut this corrupt city and county down.
This is not about Trump's taxes. Sorry Democrats.
Yet again Ed Burkes finanace committee gives away more of our money:
Jury awards $1.3 million to family of man fatally shot by Chicago police

Ahh lets look at the story from that time:
https://www.dnainfo.com/chicago/20150626/south-shore/man-shot-by-police-south-shore-dies-authorities-say/
Here it is:
Cockerham had previous convictions for trying to disarm a police officer and aggravated battery of an officer, authorities said.
*So this thug had previous felonious history,had a loaded gun was charged now gets paid, who do we have representing the taxpayers in the way of lawyers? Remember when J-Fled at least attempted to fight these frivolous bullshit lawsuits?
Police alert: Being aggressive puts yourself in jeopardy not just of a termination,suspension, or losing your freedom, it also puts your families fiances of jeopardy of a civil liability suit where your not indemnified stop the madness, sell those jeeps live simple!
Feds will tap your phone, even when you are not using it.
Oh well, Burke likes pin striped suits. He can still wear stripes, just not as fashionable as he is used to.
Was watching the news a short while ago. They showed Burke getting into his car. He prominently was displaying his Alderman star on his belt. I thought...What a Fuckin Tool, Jagbag. Hey everybody, Look at me. I'm important, I get to wear this star........
The Feds should lock up Rahm Emanuel and every sanctuary city mayor in the United States

Hummmm, like the set of car keys found in the bedroom under some shoes on what, the 5th or 6th search? Seems I have already seen that...
I just saw Burke on the channel 9 5pm news, now why is he displaying his Gold star badge like he is some lawman. I know he has arrest powers as an Alderman, but with all the gest on him, and him being 77 years old, he looks real real tired, like worried tired. I think they have him big time.you can only get so big for your own pants and how greedy can you be.
Where's Bob Cooley when we need him?
What kinda star does EB have janging on his hip? His Police star from 1965 or the gold Alderman button?
Just saw him on noon news clip flashing a star on his hip and getting into an unmarked police car...what a douchebag.
12/14/2018 12:13:00 PM
Uh, me's think aldercreatures are deputized and able to carry a's weapon if they so choose ... besides, he would've needed 10 yrs to carry after he left
Why is he entitled to wear a police star? He has been a politician for the last 50 years. Pompous Handjob!

But did the G find the wire and cameras Burke already had in place to watch the office himself.
Notice they didn’t hit his home...hmmmm.

Richard said: Rahm should be in jail for the JVD bullshit. Sanctuary cities should all be cleansed too!
Why has'nt the press asked hard hitting questions on specifics about the search warrant?
We all know that a search warrant will detail what the Feds are searching for and what
they will seize. Eddie knows the details of the warrant because he read it.
"Moscone Bail Bonds!,How Can I Help You?"
Someone definitely is talking. He should be really concerned. The Feds don't make a move until they have sufficient evidence to do so. He was definitely being watched. I hope he gets time in prison.
Don't forget that David Krupa kid, the 19 year old running for alderman in the 13th ward against crooked Madigan and his hack political puppet Marty Quinn. He just beat their efforts at illegally challenging his signatures.
Jason Gonzales , another anti Madigan political candidate who is suing Madigan for fielding sham candidates and slandering his name is also on the attack against Madigan.
Good for Jason Gonzales. Good for David Krupa. They need to team up and take down team Madigan.
Krupa's attorneys needs to bypass Kimm " Cover Up Corruption" Foxx, and forward his documents directly to the US Attorney's office in Washington, cc Donald Trump.
And no. I'm not David Krupa; I don't live in his ward, and I'm not a family,friend, or voter of his.
I'm a person that absolutely hates Mike Madigan, his machine, and that horribly inept, corrupt, filthy crooked daughter of his Lisa madigan.
Gonzales, Krupa, we're behind you.
Why does burkey boy have blue federal ids for ohare and midway?
