MORE POPCORN!
- Retiring Ald. Danny Solis (25th), the powerful chairman of the City Council’s Zoning Committee, has secretly recorded more than a dozen conversations with Ald. Ed Burke (14th) over the last two years, including at City Hall, to help federal investigators build their corruption case against him, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.
Those conversations include Burke meeting with individuals seeking actions by the city, a source familiar with the matter said.
Federal investigators have focused on Burke allegedly using his influence as chairman of the City Council’s Finance Committee to drum up property tax appeal business for his private law firm.
Some of the meetings Solis recorded using an electronic listening device took place at the suite of offices reserved for the Finance Committee chairman on the third floor of City Hall.
For two years. In offices reserved for Burke to conduct "business." That looks like code for "extort money," doesn't it? So what do/did the feds have on Solis to turn him? Because we find it hard to believe he had an attack of conscience after twenty-three years and wanted to secure his place in Heaven.
And who else is on the wires? Solis was chairman of the City Council's Zoning Committee. Who has been pushing through a rather onerous building project against the very strenuous wishes of a sizeable portion of his constituency? Who has even resorted to filing complaints against these concerned citizens who hold city jobs, placing their work histories at risk for merely exercising their First Amendment Rights?

And we've had more than a few hints that something is brewing up north. This could be getting very interesting.

Oh oh oh please lord God let that scumbag Arena get caught. He’s so arrogant and pompous that he would think he’s untouchable. Please let it be him. He is evil to the core. Finally someone is going after the corruption in Chicago that runs rampant and unchecked. The code of silence is with the politicians not the police.
I hope this breaks before the aldermanic election, so Toni Preckwinkle's pet politician, John Arena, is removed from office once and for all.
Why is it that Toni sponsors fundraisers for Arena?
God willing, this is just the beginning, and dozens of aldercreatures that will be perp walked into the Dirkson Federal Building.
Alderprick arena must be having gastrointestinal issues waiting for the Feds to come knocking on North Le Claire.
It gets better. Somebody wired up on Ald. Solis BEFORE Solis wired up on Ald. Burke.
OT: interesting report on pension buyouts.
http://www.nprillinois.org/post/pension-buyout-participation-rate-higher-expected-early-numbers-show#stream/0
Solis got caught and cut a deal with the feds, Code of silence,Consent decree...I was at Mercy Hospital and Am so Proud of being on CPD we lost a Officer and have a Saint looking over us.
Arena you Got Busted, I'm Loving it.... Wire Wire Wire Who have you hired ?
I am buying the first round of beer when Arena is indicted. (I think they already have enough evidence to hit him with Criminal Civil Rights Violations.)
Burke ought to be disbarred, every attorney in his firm censured and suspended for 2 years, and the firm itself broken up.
Every client that used that firm ought to have any Property Tax abatements rescinded, and be held accountable for ALL of the back taxes.
THEN, watch the proverbial SHTF and people will get pissed and start turning on each other...
You'll need a 50# sack of popcorn.
All aldermen will now have hand held metal detectors to prevent this in future!!! Here it comes!
Oh my God, maybe there is a Santa Clause! Two years of wearing a wire? Holy cow that could bring down the entire city Council hopefully. Can you imagine the conversations? Hopefully two years means there was constantly so much corruption that it never ended. Head of zoning committee? That’s the head of the snake. Hopefully arrogant Arena got caught. Fingers crossed. Bring gifts Santa! The honest citizens deserve it.
Speaking of Arena, I have a Jim Gardiner sign in front of the house. A guy was banging on the door and said he was promoting Arena. I said not interested in Arena so he hands me a glossy political palm card which reads "45 reasons to elect Alderman John Arena." What chutzpah! One of the 45 claims was he "funded police and fire pensions." I have already received about 3 mailings from Arena and he floods the area with them. A study was done on what was the most effective means of garnering votes and palm cards head the list. The other 3 candidate's better get on the ball as Arena has a good head start. I have received nothing from them.
Chicago Wire
starring Danny Solis
Thieves, 50 Thieves, but there was an honest thief,
Aldercreature Danny Solis, the Monterrey Wire
Burke, an Aldercreature so evil only one man could
bring him down, Monterrey Danny Solis
See the true underbelly of Chicago,
See Chicago Wire, coming fall 2020
Two years that’s an eternity. Chicago scumbag politicians should be freaking out. Awesome! Finally going after the Chicago mob
Danny the RAT Solis!
Be still my heart. If Arena gets caught up in this there is a God after all and Karma is real.
Hopefully Toni is caught up on those corruption tapes
My question is, What did the Feds have on Solis to get him to wear a wire?
Another one of Arena's pet projects, a 10 story senior development at 6 Corners ("hole in the ground" location at Irving & Milwaukee) was to go before the City Plan Commission today. It was suddenly pulled from the agenda late yesterday. Solis sits on the CPC.
Is there enough room in protective custody for all these alderscum? Don't bitch now, if you made your bed, then lay in it.
Arena loves the camera and microphone to comment on everything. I wonder if he was seeking out the media whores to comment on this story?
(OT) thought this was chicago But nope just the mirror of exactly what is going on in this city also democratic controlled cities just like Los Angeles San Francisco etc. etc. do not know how to control the homeless population and take care of the homeless but yet they cater to the illegal criminals it is amazing how they use billions and billions of our tax money. The good people that pay the taxes they pay the bills I pushed in the corners while the cater to criminals are constantly pandered;

You have been carping for the Alder creatures to wear cameras. Little did you know that one, maybe more were wired. You got your wish.
They said he was caught using campaign money for personal expenses. Pretty routine. But weasel when you get caught and then offer someone up. Not like he was being sweated to give up tapes on his dealer. Nope, he just offered up Bure to save his skin. I don’t know how he avoids being charged though. Probably avoids jail but Burke’s stuff has nothing to do with his crime so immunity wouldn’t sort him out.
Not sympathetic to Burke. He overstayed his welcome. But to use the wires against him, they need Solis I’d think. If they rely on him they’ve got to explain how/why to jury. If they only prosecute Burke, not him, I think jury will be skeptical.
Of course, it looks like they’ve got case independent of Solis. Sounds like the guys being shook down went to their lawyer here who put Burke in check box with feds.
Be interesting to know what brought feds to Solis’campaign funds in first place? Who manage campaign fund?
Danny is related to my wife... I will bust balls about this at the next family related event —“Danny, why did you do it?” , “how could you bring shame to the family”... lol
Every one is in single man life boats when indictments start a flying....
Just the tip of the iceberg . All Chicago needs is 12 alderman.
Did Alderasshole John Arena once work for the patrolmans credit union or is that a different John Arena? Came across the name when going through some paperwork from about fifteen years ago.
Ed Burke getting caught up was just a piece of fruit on a,"Tree of Corruption." When you look back at all the unexpected retirements in the last year it should all make perfect sense to you. Louie, "Retiring" for no apparent reason out of the blue? This is another of this assension by the Feds up this very tall and overgrown mess. Rahm you of all people should know better as well, the Feds learned a LOT of their dirty tricks from your playbook! Expect more in both City Hall and Springfield as the government brings a chainsaw to monster and just think over the last year-1 1/2 all of the head scratching in our political circles.
"Mother of mercy. Is this the end of Rico?"
Ed Burke is a rat in the 1980 he pulled some shit in Wisconsin with Dan Rostenkowski they got caught old man Daley saved there ass he was working for the Goverment for a long time Fuck him
Oh man. First rahm, now if you can take down arena it will be a good year for me.
Oh please! Please have Arenas on tape. His hitting the ground face first would make my day.
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
ABC7 is reporting that the feds were after Solis for misuse of campaign funds when he agreed to start wearing the wire.
Golly......One can only HOPE that Asshole Arenas name pops up a lot.......
To quote Flounder from Animal House, "Oh boy is this great." ♠️
Solis could not be recording people willy nilly just as he walks around city hall. He would have to target Burke specifically and then capture anyone else that comes into the conversation. I hope a whole lot of people fall into this . It is about time City Hall and the corrupt political class take a hit. It is about time the corruption within the police department, that is fixed promotions and transfers and commands are addressed. Let have true transparency in all of city government.
Arena tried to get in front of this yesterday, bitching about transparency, corruption, etc......
Did Arena wear a wire too ?
They have him for shakedowns of business owners and the Jeff Fest organizers, yet nothing has happened?
He’s under pressure and his home life is increasingly unstable. Lots of issues at 4137 N. LeClaire.
SEIU, skool teachers, other commies are funding his mailers just like 2015.
Let’s hope they have him.
This revelation is exactly why phony Toni admitted to talking to Burke about hiring his son. All crooks , yet they are all calling for police reform. Smh !
The FOP should be writing up a citizens award for Solis and not endorsing alderman charged with federal crimes. Again don’t tell me Burke is a friend of the police. If he helped out the police it is because he is doing the job we pay him for. Please let this be the best fed investigation ever.
"Cook County Board President Toni Preckwinkle said she spoke with Ald. Edward Burke before hiring his son to $100K job"
Of course she admits it since it's now revealed that it was taped by Feds
With all this corruption in the city counsel is it possible there was a code of silence going on?
Love watching these Fucking Alder-Rats turn on each other! Hope that Feds bring all this shit to the surface before the upcoming elections ! Get more popcorn, and watch this shit show go down!
When did city council turn ito an episode of The Sopranos?
Johnny Arena this is finally showing promise, this punk with his "f8ck," the police attitude will be indicted and god willing soon. The federal buses will be at city hall and over to the county building for a start and the people like johnny and Danny will grab the first seat as they spew everything all on that wire. The feds have been quiet but that quietness was just them doing the wiring, bet they ensnare rahm and his hand picked city clerk anna soon,along with many more "players," it is about time! Could this be say johnny area wearing his wire?
https://www.ispot.tv/ad/A8to/geico-undercover-great-answer
I keep asking why do we have 50 Alderman. I also keep asking why don’t we have term limits on all government And political positions.
Greed greed greed, power power power, money and corruption. Those are the values and tell me again that CPD is the problem. Code of silence Is pure Political propaganda. Now let’s make sure we all study for Our annual ethics test and make sure you pass
Two years? could the feds have some new orders with a change in the white house? Could this be related to demorat politics of the former administration? Our MSM is ignoring the biggest scandal in American history. Could the media be forced to cover how evil the democommie party is? Chicago demorats are only a side show. lying to the FISA court is a crime. Spying on an opposing political parties presidential candidate is a crime. Related conspiracy is a crime. Kinda makes Watergate, for those who witnessed it, look like a parking ticket. a lot of criminal shit done by the former administration, and their useful idiots simply wont go unpunished.
Peanuts and Crackerjack and a tall cold one. LOL
Not a cop, but the FOP was simply WRONG to endorse Burke.
But wait you say, Burke did so much for us in the past? Doesn't matter.
But wait you say, Burke deserves the presumption of innocence until proven guilty, right? Sorry, that's a technical argument only lawyers will like. Right or wrong, Burke has already been tried and convicted in the court of public opinion.
The only thing the FOP has done by endorsing Burke is sully the reputation of honest and hardworking coppers.
So what should the FOP have done? NOTHING.
Don't endorse Burke. Don't endorse his opponents. Simply stay silent. And no one would have noticed.
At best, the FOP should have waited for a court of law to determine Burke's guilt or innocence. And then made an endorsement, if appropriate. But wait you say, that court decision might not come until long after the election? Too fucking bad.
Calling all clout calling all clout the Machine needs you now. Crack in the dyke and there may not be enough fingers to plug all the holes. Speaking of holes bet there are a Toning puckering aholes at City Hall. Karma can be a ruthless bitch.
More Maalox and Pepto Bismol too if you’re a city council employee.
"I'm Shocked'!"Shocked"! "To Hear That Gambling Is Going On In Ricks"!
They all talk about reform and transparency.. now, they have to taste their own bullshite.
Oh-Boy! This is gonna be Great!! When Rats eat Rats, it's always a good show! I'll bet the pucker factor down at city hall is at level 10!
The sad part is all of these rats that don't go to jail will all be reelected...It's all part of the "Great Chicago Political Continuum." "Cuz the road goes on forever and the Party never ends!"
Ummm, who else is wearing a wire????
Feds ain’t gonna do shit. Burke will get re-elected and might get a tiny bit of jail time in some cushy federal prison. Prinkwinkle will become the Mayor even with all the shit that’s hitting the papers. Chicago has the dumbest voters in the country.
Hopefully this is the Chicago version of "draining the swamp" the President spoke about. Let all those guilty parties go down the drain.
Yet they label the CPD as having a, 'Code of Silence.' Pffft!
Not necessarily into cliches, but you know what they say about stones and glass houses.

Just for that nasty bit of shit-talk, we hope the public DEMANDS
that you corrupt and nasty asses actually start VERY PUBLICLY
fighting and beating the shit out of each other to effect
mutual arrests for "misconduct" and "corruption" just like
so many are so adamant about actually wanting to see the

"Well if you guys start turning each other in,
MAYBE we would start trusting and supporting YOU..."
Right?
You all need to STFU.
Processes and Procedures are already in place.
YOUR quibble is with City Hall and City Council
sourced clout and interference in those Processes
and Procedures.
Or can you not SEE that because your collective
balls are dangling in your eyes?
No internal Process or Procedure is pristine anyway...
Well... Maybe if you click the heels of your ruby slippers

No man possessed of enough of his right mind
desires YOUR "trust" that much much.
Hopefully the FEDS bend you corruptocrats
so deeply at the waist that the tops of
your worthless and empty heads get bounced

"Ouchie!"
The true "Code of Silence" exists
in the mayor's office, the city council chambers
and in the local media editorial board suites.
May you corrupt M/Fers drown each other in the

The Policeman has nothing really to fear

Awaiting the day the FEDS drop
a brick shit shack on YOUR heads.
Wow, two years of investigation. Say, didn't we elect a Republican president about two years ago, and shake up the filthy obama Justice Department? Maybe Jeff Sessions DID do something after all! Whatever is behind it, it is good news.
great work by the Naperville police department you officers took care of business no doubt has this occurred in Chicago special ed and kimesha ( I cant believe im that dumb either) would be looking to fire and indict you. at least dupage county has a real states attorney with a high IQ
stay safe

There’s going to be a power vacuum at city hall soon over this. Who’s going to take the helm?

Plus they will be splitting the anti Arena vote. Arena needs to go one one one if he’s to be beaten
Indictment brought to you courtesy of station WDS, radio Solis. Now back to your regular government corruption.
I like how these alderasses interviewed on the news related that they feel betrayed. So someone snitched on wrongdoings and the only reason is he got caught. Other than that it is business as usual or shall we say CODE OF SILENCE inside city council. These are the assholes constantly passing ethic ordinances, stealing and abusing the term TRANSPARENCY. This city will NEVER be great as long as we have the corrupt machine in place at city hall.
Maybe Burke can share a cell with Blago.
I hope they caught a couple of lawyers buying their judgeships! We could learn how much a judge spot costs nowadays!
My father-in-law had Gardiner signs on his lawn. Somebody took them. Coincidentally, during the same timeframe the signs were taken, an Arena pamphlet was left on his porch.
I can't believe some of the alderscum publicly stated that they were upset that one of their cronies wore a wire to bring down a corrupt constituent. Unfucking believable, they all need to be investigated.
Aldermen react
But some aldermen were angry at Solis — and worried about what the next shoe to drop would be. Others said nothing at all to the swarm of reporters lured to City Hall by the scent of fresh scandal.
“I was raised if you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about, but where I come from, if you wore a wire, someone’s gonna kick your ass,” Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) said.
Ald. Roderick Sawyer (6th) said he was not “brought up” to wear a wire on a colleague.
“If I was caught doing something wrong, I’d just take my punishment, deal with the consequences . . . and keep my mouth shut,” Sawyer said.
Ald. George Cardenas (12th) — an ally of Solis — said he would have preferred that Solis end his aldermanic career “honorably.”
“Jeez, what is the world coming to?” Cardenas responded when asked about one alderman wearing a wire as part of an investigation of another alderman.
Ald. Michelle Harris (8th) called Solis’ action “disheartening.”
“I try to think we are a family down here and we all work together,” said Harris, who like Solis, is a close ally of Mayor Rahm Emanuel. “Typically, we respect each other. I’m a little uncomfortable about it.”
Ald. Carrie Austin (34th) said she was near tears after she learned of Solis’ actions.
“You don’t do that. You just don’t,” Austin said.
Ald. Susan Sadlowski Garza (10th) said she was “shocked.”
“I don’t know what other people are thinking,” Sadlowski Garza said. “I have nothing to worry about.”
Ald. Raymond Lopez (15th) noted that few people would volunteer to help federal officials investigate a friend or colleague.
“Most people don’t just generally call the FBI and say ‘Hey, how can I be an informant for you?’” Lopez said. “There’s usually something that pushes that, and only time will tell.”
Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) said he also didn’t understand what prompted Solis to wear a wire as part of the Burke investigation.
“Anyone who violates the public trust needs to be held accountable,” Reilly said. “The best way to avoid having to wear a wire is to stay out of trouble.”
Reilly is one of five aldermen who are running for another term unopposed. But Ald. Michele Smith (43rd) faces five challengers — and acknowledged the news that Solis wore a wire is not good for her chances at a third term, since it reminds voters of Chicago aldermen’s long and sordid history of corruption.
No shit, Solis didn’t just stumble on some conspiracy and run to the feds. The feds flipped him. Throw a dart at a corruption topic, you’ll find most, if not all, Chicago politicians in each. I have to actually tip my hat on this one. Good work, feds. Now if you go after the corrupt judges, ASAs, CPD brass and the whole political machine, you would right this ship. That will never happen though.
Oh Danny,
Must be something good the Fed got you on to give up Burke. Could it be your dealings with the pizza guy on 18th Street who cheats his employees of a fair pay and then goes bankrupt before he is ordered to pay them.
Term limits. Term limits. Term limits.
Please give Vallas as chance. The rest are morons.

The sweat level in Arena's office has hit the 'flood' stage.......
Where’s the uproar for Council Reform?
Any ideas for a consent decree for corrupt city hall and the patterns and practices?
Uncle lunch bucket Joe Fergie snoozing on the job or did he ignore a lot of this?
Both Prickwrinkle and ManDozer are sweating - big league.
It will be rather easy to tie Prickwrinkle to Section8’Arena (big promoter) and Section8’Arena to tax attorneys of whom ALWAYS give a little somethin-somethin in exchange for favorable council voting = Biuying Council floor votes.
Let’s hope Sterling Bay land grab development (they vote on that TIF drain today) is included in the mix.
We’ll see if the council pushes through this one, one of Rahm’s last big time deals, because MuskRat Tunnel is coming up soon.
Noticing how these affiliated candidates are only now on record of giving back that tainted donor money.
Giving money back kind of like a self initiated restitution. Steal money from a bank and giving it back negates a criminal case, it becomes a civil matter between debtor and creditor when the creditor enters an agreement to accept the terms of the thief.
These politicians are doing the same, washing their bank accounts of fraudulent acquisitions.
Donors will have to be party to the crime and willing to prosecute...and they won’t.
If the Fed were to tie Trump International to Burke and his cash coffers, it leads to Rahm and his refusal to return the donation he received. As the Beach Boy Brian Wilson sang...Wouldn’t it be nice.
On the wire wearing -
Gee Wally, didn’t Rahm abruptly announce he won’t seek re-election around the same time as Solis?
Yes sirree bob. It’s a long shot, but also “retiring” this year are Mayor Pro-Tem, Zoning and Finance Comm. Laurino (39), Airports Zalewski (23), hot head Munoz (22), Rahms right hand floor man O’Connor (40) is on the fence, and even little gutter rat Rep. Louie Gutierrez bowed out - all around the same time.
There’s a lot we don’t know and Council should not be passing anything related to spending, allocating or zoning until the FBI probe and it’s parties are brought to court. I’d like to know what Sterling Bay did to get Ald Hopskins to suddenly agree to the $900 mil TIF deal besides the nixing the soccer stadium around the proposed Lincoln Yards.
(FBI, please save some agents for Cook County.)
Will FOP be getting any refunds from the campaigns involved?
Stop the endorsements and expectation that some “friends in high places” will be doing Us a solid.
OT, but similar to corruption. Lieut Popeyedopoulos who had the scenarios for the Lieut Exam along with several other Lieuts is at the FBI National Academy. Does the FBI know this phony and fraud cheated on the Lieuts Exam.You don't go from scoring in the 5000s on the Sgts Exam to scoring in the top 5 on Lieut Exam. What's worse is that he walks around the academy and acts legit. You are a phony and a fraud Popeye along with the Hawaiian and 10 tact Lieut.

Unbelievable. A state's attorney decides he has the authority to 'review' a county circuit judge's sentence.
Is there any precedence for this? I am totally flabbergasted, and can only imagine how the JVK family feels right now.
Now we know why Prickwinkle changed her tune and admitted to talking to Eddie Sr about a job for Eddie Jr.
Her calls are probably on a wire tap and possible discussed by the two future felonious Aldermen.
question for the experts. although they have been doing this forever, why do politicians, once they get a heads up, retire suddenly? does this somehow lessen prosecution and sentancing? you would think they would just shelter in place and steal as much as they could until the feds came and dragged them whimpering onto the bluebirds. anybody know? asking for a friend.
3:52pm. That sounds racist , JVD should have received probation .
FOP ,PBPA can you get our petitions state wide to demand a recall on this racist attorney general .
I do not think he would be elected again , let’s spend some money Now .

Love their sanctimonious comments. Of course they wouldn't wear a wire unless. Some really nervous folks at City Hall. Who else might be an informant. Willing to bet that Solis was not only game in town. Maybe they can get a group discount from some enterprising defense attorney. See you in Federal court guys, that is FEDERALilly COURT.
Aren't Federal sentences served at 85% and not 50%. So ten years is 8.5 not 5. LOL.
Why are they so outraged. They should be happy a that a crooked Alderman was caught. As for Solis this just be the one right thing he ever did whole in office. Will it be legal for Burke to use Andy of the 11 million campaign fund for his defense? Hope not then the FOP can sponsor a benefit for their endorsed candidate.

"Mother of mercy. Is this the end of Rico?"
LMAO.
So he still got them out of trouble after he died. That’s really heavy clout.

Aldermen react
But some aldermen were angry at Solis — and worried about what the next shoe to drop would be. Others said nothing at all to the swarm of reporters lured to City Hall by the scent of fresh scandal.
“I was raised if you haven’t done anything wrong, you don’t have anything to worry about, but where I come from, if you wore a wire, someone’s gonna kick your ass,” Ald. Matt O’Shea (19th) said.
Only ass kicking he knows of is from the bar top pillow he had set up for himself,
Still out for verdict on who won.
Looks like Philly , NYC ,Baltimore have same problems we have in Chicago, now the State AG. .
Prosecutors now act as defense attorneys, fail to. Approve Felony charges for slam dunk UUW. , defaced serial number on weapon, aggravated battery to police ,carjackers with good witness,victims and in court toss felony narcotics charges .
New state AG now wants to go after a White Police Officer that received a long sentence that. Could have been probation.
Will AG review cases of murders that were out on parole when crime was committed or rapes when offender was on electronic monitoring?
I doubt it ,
It is time for our unions to organize and have a recall election of the new AG , I do not think he would win again .
Zalewski didn’t finish his term. Hmmm
He left because Madigan told him to leave. Without the little leprechauns support he would have been toast next month. So bow out and little mikey could insert his lackey Tabares. He get the Mexican support he wants and a female in the face of his sexual scandal ignorance. Meanwhile the residents of the 23 ward get another useless, asskissing political hack of Madigan who is only out for #1. Come on who leaves state office to come back to city government? Only greedy corrupt ones, that's who.

The Fed investigations are President Trump's payback for 3/11/16. What say you Jan Shackowsky?

When did city council turn ito an episode of The Sopranos?
1/24/2019 08:36:00 AM
About the time the city was incorporated. 1837.
Looks like hugs are going to be back in vogue when greeting and talking to allies, friends and colleagues at City Hall.
It’s either that or future City Hall council meetings will be held in the steam room at the East Bank Club.

Whoa. This flunky has been watching too much Sopranos. I guess Solis better keep an eye out for Cristopher Moltisanti and Silvio Dante.
So if everyone is wearing a wire, who gets indicted. Let me guess, some poor mope driving a garbage truck.

How long did they have Blago tapped? They only used certain, edited portions of his tapes. Maybe it’s time to revisit those tapes, just to see
how lucky some people, (like his foul mouthed wife), are/were, when they stopped using the tapes. Is there a statute of limitations on the time you can use the tapes, or just the crimes committed on tape? That could be golden!

Unbelievable. A state's attorney decides he has the authority to 'review' a county circuit judge's sentence.
Is there any precedence for this? I am totally flabbergasted, and can only imagine how the JVK family feels right now.

It’s not a states attorney. It’s the attorney general of Illinois one article said it’s been done before, but usually isn’t successful
Don’t assume Burke is the most significant target in this investigation. Just think about the number of people who he interacted with. Any individual and or company who obtained favorable treatment in exchange of retaining Burke or otherwise paying for deferential treatment is likely a subject. The interest in the post office development might mean there are developers under investigation. The tentacles on this seem endless.

Come on now. Don’t let a little fact like that get in the way of this story. I’m surprised it wasn’t prefaced with from a guy who was there or in the know

>Snicker!
Hee-Hee-Heeee...
NYAAAAAHAHAHAHAHAAA!<
If only Burke WOULD flip!
City Hall would resemble the scene
of a very BAD arson fire...
A bunch of blackened aldercritter skeletons
hanging out of the upper floor windows would
be a sight that would make the upright, law-abiding,
high tax paying/getting the sum total of dick-all
for their money citizens to grin like a fat man
on Christmas Morning.
Go ahead Eddie...
Be the "match" that starts the righteous hot fire
to finally render to the Chicago City Council their
just reward.
Burn the whole rotten and corrupt thing to ashes.
If there are any survivors, may they spend their
remaining day in tearful genuflection and humility
broken only by random episodes of unbridled terror
and pant-shitting.
To keep them honest, on random occasions when they
open their closet door, the resident Fed inside
hands them their coat with a grin...
>Door opening... Coat proffered...
Coat accepted... GRIN! Door closes<
"??? ...SHRIEK!"
C'mon... Why should Chicago Policemen be the
only ones condemned to drink the bottomless cup
of Chicago-Style misery just because of who they are and
what they do?
Bottoms up aldercritters...
