This is Interesting
- Shortly before FBI agents raided the offices of Ald. Edward M. Burke, they knocked on the door of the alderman’s top political aide, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
The FBI showed up at Peter Andrews Jr.’s home in Mount Greenwood around 7 a.m. on Nov. 29.
That was about 90 minutes before they seized control of Burke’s City Hall suite of offices, dismissed his staff and covered the windows with brown butcher paper. The agents also raided the alderman’s political headquarters, the 14th Ward office at 2650 W. 51st St., where Andrews helps run Burke’s political operation.
Nearly two weeks after federal agents raided Burke’s offices, it’s unclear why they took such a public action, removing boxes of documents and at least one computer.
We can only think of two reasons why the feds would visit someone ninety minutes before a planned raid:
- someone messed up synchronizing their watches, or
- someone is talking or wired up
Burke is slippery as Hell as any reader of Cooley's book knows. But with someone cooperating?

No. This guy I’m guessing cut a deal a while ago and was cooperatin and did something wrong while cooperating. He got scooped up then thy hit the offices.
If some one is talking, Burke will pull a Jesse Jackson Jr and play bipolar or something of bi or polar, or mental-polar deal duck as Jesse “chip off the ole block” Jackson
Ya wanna bet burke knew raid was coming ,,,, not an accidental tip , tipped by cpd fbi ,,, no wonder burke was so smug in front of cameras after raid
Or the raid is a scam show raid and they gave the target a 'heads up ' to clean up before company arrived.
We live in very interesting times.
Oldest trick in the book.
Rattle some cages to get birdies singing. This makes others think they (Feebs) actually gleaned some damning information from the little birdies whose cages were rattled. Birdies get nervous wondering what the Feebs have on them and when the hammer will drop, so they volunteer to start signing about the misdeeds of other, bigger birdies.
All a birdie needs to remember when the Feebs come a knockin’ is to keep their mouth shut and request an attorney regardless of how juicy a worm the Feebs dangle in front of them.
That said, I hope everybody close to this investigation is singing like there’s no tomorrow.
My neighbor sneaky Pete.
His nickname is Lex Luther
Trying to flip an insider. Standard procedure,
There is a God!
Did they also visit Tom Rowan's house in Beverly??
Cooley was/is/and always has been a piece of shit. I wouldn't waste the effort reading any of his rationalizations for being a rat.
off topic - here's a quote from one of the mayoral candidates;
“His values are rich. His values isn’t everyday citizens. His values isn’t democracy. His values isn’t those who are at the bottom. Or he wouldn’t have supported people who stripped the funding for those who are starving,” Green said.
In the words of serial sex offender Bill Clinton, I guess that depends on what your definition of isn't, isn't.
He's not in cuffs yet! The slippery SOB didn't last this long by making easy to find mistakes. The Feds may find things that the CPD would never even look for,on purpose.
I love it, I think Burke has finally done it, walking around like the King for years. If you had a real estate tax beef he could always settle it by intimidation. Screw him, I hope he goes down .
EB this one you will not beat and your little buddy Peter Andrews there is a God you made over 3 .5 million Dollars on the Hire truck bullshit your trucks didn't move from where they were parked for years a do nothing job time ran out boys get on the bus first one gets the best seat have a Merry Christmas VI's kid!
More interesting as we watch the elected scamper;
FBI seized cellphone of Chicago’s most powerful alderman, Edward Burke
https://chicago.suntimes.com/news/fbi-seized-chicago-alderman-edward-burke-cellphone/
Can you imagine what maybe On that cellphone but then again Burke is not that stupid correct?
Fuck Burke and Andrews they have been steeling for 50 years game over boys Thank God!
Pete Andrews has been around since at least the seventies. Why don't these guys want to retire?
Maybe just maybe the Trump DOJ is gonna get the last laugh on Rahma Dama Ding Dong or maybe Rahma Dama is feeding them
Anyone know if this is the same Andrews family of our old pal, Constantine "Dean" Andrews? Maybe the feebs showed up early at this place to look for file folders and 3 ring binders which were rumored to be missing?
Just wondering...
And Burke has been around this long because he is stupid. Don’t think so.
it was a training op for FBI newbies.
remember FBI has agents and they have SPECIAL agents.
and we all know they are all so special.
they just giving their pups real life experience.
just like on TV

That makes more sense than him cooperating. Why would they go by a cooperating witness? He’d be valuable to the feds. His phones would be ringing off the hook from nervous politicians, businessmen and other “civic leaders” when they heard Burke’s office was raided
Eff the FBI. They couldn't find water if they fell out of a boat. They STILL can't find anything on Daley or Vanecko? Or won't? Which is it?
I look forward to seeing Burke doing his best Junior Soprano routine in court.
Not sure what the "G" has on him now but recall reading (SCC's mention) of Robert Cooley's book, 'When Corruption Was King' years back. In the last chapter after reading about Burke AND his wife, all I can say is that it's long overdo.
The swamp has been dirty for many years.
Pete Andrews was a plumber my ass he didn't work when he was at the Park District he had a do nothing job for45 years and made 3.5 million with the hire truck joke with his old lady
Game over jail time boys!
All I want for Christmas is to see the smug narcissist prick Burke charged with a crime. Lets see how smug the prick looks then !
Word is Ginger Evans, fired from her job as airport boss, is singing here heart out.
Lots of pols has their fingers in Billions of dollars of contract which include federal funds.
She is also a liberal democrat and police hater
Could this be Burke and his people singing along;
https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=7YvAYIJSSZY
Who is watching me?
If anything is gonna happen it will happen before Christmas.
Feds love to tell a guy,"enjoy this Christmas, it's the last
Christmas you'll be with your family for the next 20 years."
Two things come to mind, tell the target you're coming and watch him/her panic and there's the fact the FBI is not the same FBI I use to know. Making it known I'm coming does a couple things, you might start making phone calls, or run out to someone involved they knew nothing about. It also could make Burke look like the one they are interested in, but he could be used as a decoy masking the one of interested. I've been around people, all I have to say is never ever sit down with the FBI and be interviewed without an attorney. Best idea, take the fifth say nothing.
I'm not buying any of it! Chicago and Crook County are the most corrupt Democratic jurisdictions in the USA, and everyone who works here can see it a mile away, but nothing has ever been done other than taking a few pawns off the board to keep up appearances. If our City and County were run by Republicans, the feds would have jailed them long ago for farting the wrong way.
Interesting times ahead.
Somebody in the pending indictment tree apparently

>Frenzied Febreeze & Lysol spraying.

Too late...
The stank is all in the carpets and wallpaper.
Hope the Feds give it to Burke and the rest of
the City Council and Rahm al-Ghoul (no matter how
fast and how far her tries to run) good, fast, hard,
deep and dry.
Bend them all... Tops of their heads to the floor...
If The Police are "The Problem," it's because of THEM...
That’s about as close as the Fed can get, like a subpoena to Hillarys servers and she bleaches 30,000 emails months before she responds to a “security issue”.
In Burke’s case, that’s 90 minutes to hand carry and dump the paper files into the trunk of his car, which usually is stuffed with 2 full sets of golf clubs. Timing is everything. Old cranky man Burke probably never put anything on a hard drive, or a even Commodore 64.
I’ll bet the bagman had the IP address.
And to top it off...he’s still controlling the TIF money allocation, mostly because developer Sterling Bay is itching for that Rahm promise $8 billion funding.
Same with corrupt Dothroty Brown, caught red handed but still collecting paychecks and campaign money.
Wouldn’t it be wise to suspend these corrupt officials until they’re cleared?
Maybe City Hall should have a Call-Back unit.
But only the police need to be reformed.
Everyone is forgetting that when the FBI raided Burke's Office his wife Ann was getting sworn in to the Illinois Supreme Court. As the swearing in ceremony was getting started, Ann Burke was given a note. She became visibly upset and leaned over and said something to the Chief Judge. Burke was immediately sworn in and left right afterwards without staying to see anyone else sworn in or taking part of the reception afterwards. I don't think Aldermen Burke knew the raid was coming and from what the newspapers is reporting the FBI took his cell phone. Lesson from this, if you are going to talk over a cell phone get a throw away!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You are straight on SCC! Burke finally caught. Grew up in St. Felicitas parish and knew the Cooley Family very well. Bob Cooley, who wrote the book WHEN CORRUPTION WAS KING, was a few yrs older than me but hung with his brother when younger. Great book. Saw author Bob Cooley many times at 26 and Cal. Bob was an outfit/Mob atty and was a real fuckstick. He came clean and testified against the Mob and several politicians. Some went to the joint and others didn't. Burke one of them. Karma a bitch SCC. You know that. Everyone should read that book. He ain't lying! Timmy C
Never mind Burke, FBI, your only job is to tell us who to vote for in2020.

Great book by Cooley. Shows how the city is actually run.
Are you kidding, his wife probably signed the warrant. The fix is in.
Lots of Lts milling about the 5th floor these days kissing ass for the Captain's picks. When for the professional brown nosers on this job this is embarrassing.
They are coming, now we know the reason trump had sessions before he got the boot send extra prosecutors here, lets hope the focus is the massive swamp in city hall,county building,and the state house load them up take them out!
Then Rahm today announces after he already bled the taxpayers in the most corrupt city in the country a 30 cent per gallon gas tax to fune the shit line err sorry the redline all the way to 130th! Not anything about the massive pension deficits that need to be paid first nope just more for the family friends and back pockets payoffs to the elected democrats which is everything wrong with this country!

Emanuel to push for constitutional amendment to solve pension crisis

excerpt:
“What kind of progressive, sustainable system guarantees retirees 3 percent annual compounded pay increases when inflation has been at basically zero and current employees have, at times, been furloughed, laid off or received 1 percent raises?” Emanuel was prepared to ask, according to excerpts of his speech released by the mayor’s office.
“A 3 percent compounded COLA in an era of low inflation is not progressive and not sustainable. It made sense in 1970 when we had more workers than retirees and high inflation. But it does not make sense today.”
*So he already bled the city dry, skyrocketed taxes but yet he has taken billions yes BILLIONS in tif money as his own personnel piggy bank and not paid the bills due! Is his pension diminished? He will get a city-state-government pension 3 separate pensions, and remember this is the same SOB that took away ruthlessly police retirees health care, and given billions to illegal criminals ues this rich north shore golden spoon fed ballerina!

I would imagine the feds have had Burke under electronic surveillance for some time. Probably been monitoring his communications. I imagine they’ve gathered a lot of intel on Burke they never had before.
eddie burke should watched the movie goodfellows and heeded paulie cicero advice
" Paulie hated phones. He wouldn't have one in his house. He used to get all his calls second hand, then you'd have to call the people back from an outside phone. There were guys, that's all they did all day long was take care of Paulie's phone call. " henry hill on why paulie never talked on a phone

Tom Rowan some how always evades going down. He was the Chief in Cicero when Betty Maltese was the mayor and escaped indictment. Now he is Burke's chief investigator at the Committee on Finance. Is Karen Rowan his clout?
HOW? WHY? These are questions that should be answered as he always slips away when the heat comes down!
When is your security not YOUR security. When they were put there to listen.
I can strongly agree like many others that someone has to be wearing a wire for the FBI to go in there like the storm troopers do. This is going to be something to see how this all pans out wonder how many other politicians are really really scared and how many police exam to ranks and police bosses that have excepted the political promotions and pay their fair share are worried now hopefully they all get caught up in it that would be just us and change we can believe in.

Any truth this has been a multi year investigation with thousands of hours of conversations? Sounds like lots of folks need to be real concerned as the Feds may finally be here to clean up Chicago politics. Oh boy, this is gonna be real good for the lawyers who have not experienced this kind of demand for services in a long, long time. Their phones have been ringing constantly with folks who are worried and want advice.
I doubt Burke will ever find an attorney with suits nicer than his..
Let's talk about Base Trucking, Pete Andrews, and the hired truck scandal.
All the Italian, Mexican, Black, Croatian, Polish, Lithuanians, et.al. trucking companies went down. Interesting.
Even more when you take into consideration the fact that no Irish Trucking Company (Base) (Marina) personnel even got indicted. They got "excluded". Ouch!
US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald and Prosecutor Patrick Collins, (can you hear the bagpipes playing), made the decision to leave the Fighting Irish alone, while Daley was Mayor.
Us Non-Irish folks need to understand "It's the Chicago Way." We are expendable. Go Hamburg Club!
This could all be just for show. A big deal was made about putting Richy Daley in front a a Fed. Grand Jury. When the fog cleared it was his assistants that went to jail.

Typical of 9.5 to twist the truth in an effort to make us look bad.
Our 3% COLA is NOT compounded. It is a fixed amount determined at the time of retirement.
It makes no difference if inflation is 1% or 10%. The fixed amount COLA remains the same amount.
Say 9.5, if you want to undo an obligation, why not start with the parking meter deal hung on us by RMD? Or do a bloodless coup on the SkyWay? Retired employees should be the last you want to hurt, but having done so already in regards to medical insurance, we know your intentions when it comes to retirees.

What about the sergeant Dumbinick C. at the FBI Violent Crimes Task Force who chased away a great Detective after accusing him of stealing a watch at some ghetto west side residence!! Sergeant Dumbinick C. then got mad when the fine Detective showed up for a meeting with FBI agents with an attorney!!!! Guess Sergeant Dumbinick C. doesnt believe CPD members assigned to federal task force positions have rights. Big self-promoter that was like have an issue generating a simple battery case report.
Hillary skated thanks to the FBI so don't get your hopes up until you see the charges if any.
Burke could be the one who's cooperating.

Hard to sing your heart out if you are involved in it and if you are not involved in it you have no knowledge of the crime. Feds need co oberrating evidence
Who is this great Dick at the FBI tasforce? Please tell?
For what it's worth, that "Italian" surname page suggests Tadin is a form of Taddeo, which is etymologically ridiculous. And they give a "first settler named Tadin in the New World," and his name is that common Italian first name Miljenko.
Yeah, right.
All in all, I'm swayed by the better researched page that comes up further down the google list - Tadin seems to be Croatian.
Would they mention the nebirhood if it wasn’t mount greenwood
tadin is definately croation. grew up next door to richard j daley. his two brothers are bosses at water. during hired truck scandal shortshanks told the media he didnt know him and that lots of guys drop his name. then the media showed all the file photos of shorty and tadin sharing a golf cart. that blatent form of disrespect didnt go over well in bridgepork but then few of the hogs on the teat actually liked richey. he was really weird in person lol.
