Rumors!
Someone put a lot of thought into this one:
- From the file of WOW, the Feds are being suddenly inundated with years of anonymous recordings of essentially any backroom deal done in the city and state the last 30 years. Word is Burke and his minions have everything they’ve ever dealt with caught by their own recordings. Think of the wheeling dealing to get an unknown,unqualified feminine neighborhood organizer anointed or the high level embarrassing conversations about a dope deal gone wrong in boys town with a very public assholes son. The absolute shakedown with the attempts to build, “The Spire” could cost pols past and present some sleepless nights and the Olympic Bid Boondoggle was right out the the 1930’s Chicago. If Burke goes down he’s bringing everybody down and don’t think our Judges will be exempt. For the record he loathed the Asshole in the 45th Ward and took glee in him losing. In the end Danny Solis is going to come out looking like a horny alterboy after some of the real dirt hits.
All great rumors have a sliver of truth within, and Burke has been mysteriously bulletproof for years, even after mob lawyer/fixer Bob Cooley pretty much told his story in "When Corruption Was King." Burke obviously knows all sorts of stories. Having an "insurance policy" isn't outside of the realm of possibilities.

I wouldn't put it past this clown to have recorded stuff but 30 yrs worth on VCR tapes and audio cassettes? Where's this stuff stored? In and underground bunker somewhere in the middle of the Vegas desert? Unless everything been transferred to DVD or MP3 files the quality can't be that great after 30 yrs let alone the physical condition of the tapes
Please, please, please let this rumor be true.

How many of these crimes are still actionable? Wouldn’t most be past the statute of limitations?
I think everything except murder has a five or eight years limit?
Is there an exception if they can show these old crimes are part of a continuing criminal enterprise?
Does anyone think the feds will release the tapes? That would be unethical. And illegal?
One can only continue to hope and pray that the Feds rescue the honest citizens of Chicago cook county who have been living in this corruption forever. Whatever corruption the Feds uncover it’s really 100 times that. The city and county need to be taken over and rebuilt. Everyone out and a US Attorney outside Chicago needs to rebuild the political system. From politicians to judges to each and every agency. all need to be rebuilt. Corruption is in everything.
When it comes to corrupt DemocRAT politicians, judges and exempt CPD, it cries out for at least a hundred Robert Cooleys.
Will Burke sing or compose?
He learned nothing from Nixon.
Sounds like he's got a bigger back catalog than Prince
or Frank Zappa.
Did he use Scotch or Ampex?
Here's hoping the Burke Basement Tapes get released
on iTunes.
30 years. What a fucking back catalog!
Speaking of corruption . On tuesday FOP executives are supposed to decide on Vice President Pat Murray’s salary since he is retired . He is currently collecting pension and Captain’s pay (allegedly) . 200k a year for what ?
Chicago Tribune
FBI consults Phil "Wall of Sound" Spector on Burke recordings

Drain the Chicago political swamp
Thank you Federal Gov't.
We seriously need another operation greylord. To those of you too young to remember, look it up. Also, Bob Cooley's book is interesting reading.

Whay are the chances that we all live to see shortshanks and the twerp murder mayor in federal prison and the cubs win another world series too...
honestly I don't know why anyone, with even a month on the job, would give attribution of any kind to the rat motherfucker Bob Cooley. He's been mentioned on here several times over the last few months. It gets me, kind of the same way posters here, think that John Kass is a big supporter of the police. Wise up would you?
Now that it's out that the NSA collects every bit of electronic messaging, telephone, and God knows what else for how long, and obummer began the precedent of letting one political side use that data base against the other, payback will be a real bitch.
Burke deals and walks; retires before the end of his current term
"...unknown, unqualified feminine community organizer..."
First name Barack?
Now, kees me you fool!!!!
that hole in the ground is still there? the dumbass powers that be is slipping. you would think they would fill it with kitty litter and bury it. corruption is so rampant they don't bother to cover it up anymore.
...that's my story and I'm sticking to it
I was in his office twice, on actual city business, so my presence was totally legitimate...but I had an uneasy feeling each time and even wondered if he was recording the conversations. No big deal to me if he was, but I’m sure a lot of people don’t feel the same way.
He’s sure as hell savage enough to do that.
Does he still have his dipshit private army? Now Son of Burke must take over the Airport cast of do nothings.
does De Niro still need the money?
"I told you no more wire hangers!"
It would be great to see some Crook County judges go down. 98% of them are bottom feeding political hacks who couldn't make it in the real legal world and never in big law.
Should make a great movie, "The Fixer"
What about the Daley's?
The 30 year old tapes might still be good. I’ve got some WBMX Hotmix cassettes that are that old and still play!!
Burke is actively working with the Feds he knows he’ll die in prison. It was no surprise last week the Feds have now stated publicly they will be slowing down the investigation and that new information has come to light.
i love a good story.......
lets get on with it already
Don't forget Illinois supreme court judge Ann Burke, Eds wife, warned her fellow justices that their decision in the Rahm Emanual residency case would make Chicago's residency requirement for employees unenforceable. It's plainly worded in her decision and easily available to read.
How funny would it be if as a couple they decide to burn it to ground on their way out the door?
Land, development, real estate taxes...everyone is an attorney-alderman and they are sweating.
With the developer (Cui, who practices immigration law) that was indicted last month had a TIF deal going with Burke and needed a promised sign pole for Binny’s, a tenant in his building. Cui couldn’t budge Section8Arena so he went to Burke.
Could this be that Section8Arena tried and couldn’t shake him or another developer down with the Binny’s building, the Six Corner Sears building, and a 10 story old folks home across the street?
Lots of shenanigans went on in the 45th Ward. Section8Arena could be next in line at 219 S. Dearborn.
For the record, Cui had donated $18,000 to Section8Arena and LightLoafer got $500.
Someone’s talking that’s for sure.
Rahm likely got word from obama holdovers and will be gone in just 15 days.
To 5/05/2019 07:00:00. No one is giving Bob Cooley attributes including SCC.
What they are saying is that IF you read Cooley’s ‘tell all’ book you would have found, like everyone else who read the last chapter, that he goes into great detail on how and why BOTH Ed and his ISC Justice wife should likewise be in jail along with all the other people that he helped the Feds convict.
To quote yourself....
“Wise up would you!”
Spent my whole career as an FBI Agent assigned to Chicago. I am still in close contact with the bulk of my old partners and they have the "Green Light" from D.C. to bring down a LARGE chunk of Chicagos Alderman,and both Democrat and Republicans in State Government. Ed Burke is just a root in a tree in in a rotten forest and he's got massive documentation both oral and written on everything. Expect lobbyists to the next major wave of indictments people are following the money.Most gloriously a recent "retirement" from Congress and the most corrupt politician since Huey Long has about the same amount of manpower assigned to it as the Dillingers Squads in the 1920's. Chicago is finally about to get real reform, 3/4 of the current Alderman are in the crosshairs. To the great Men and Women of the Chicago Police, stay strong, although I am a "Fed" I spent so many great times with task forces of the bravest and toughest people I've ever met in your ranks fighting an impossible battle. To the people who don't like Mayor Lightfoot, please give her time she's told the Feds to run with the ball for real change in the city. Be safe and I've always been a major fan of your blog.

Statute of limitations for official misconduct is based on when the crime is discovered. At least at the state level. There are different applicable charges at the federal level but I'm not sure what timeframes they have.
Teamster official Coli cooperated big time. Hes pleading guilty next week for a lesser sentence. He gave up a lot
If nxt wk FOP Executives(actor's out of work) vote to pay(allegedly) this retired actor P. Murray more money then he's worth, i'm done with this so-called union, they r all wrong from the top to the bottom all B.S. men looking to scam there way 2 retirement!
According to the by- laws which our organization is made of a field representative is entitled to E5 pay . If the by- law is concise and clear you follow the by-law and if the by-law is vague and ambiguous then you follow the past practice .Vague means unclear and ambiguous means having more than one meaning . Pat Murray paid into his pension for thirty years at a nine per cent rate each year . The FOP contributed zero to it . The by-law is clear and does not state you subtract your pension from your salary . Think about it you finally achieve a
Pension and then you don’t get it at all ? When you receive a cola subtract 3% more each year . Pat Murray attempted to resolve this by taking less money but it was rejected . Think about it you finally get to a point where you get a pension and poof it’s gone ? It’s election time at the FOP!!!!
Lets get the show on the road. Burke isn't getting younger. I want to se his ass in jail before he dies. Let this asshole go to his grave with the embarrassment for all the wrong he did in his career.
But no matter what happens, you know when he dies he will be hailed as one on the grteatest alderman of the city. No bad things will be said of him.
They’ve got Arena.
These evil cock suckers have to do serious time. Local and federal demo -rat liberal scum all have to go to the big house. These pricks can't get away with this scam on society. Bathhouse Barry and all the minions have to pay the piper.
Cooley is mentioned because everyone he testified against was found guilty, went to prison or received probation except for
Ed and Anne Burke and for this they became federal informants. Anne Burke didn’t become an Illinois Supreme Court Justice because of her expert knowledge of the law.
5/05/2019 07:00am You Sir are correct Cooley only flipped be cause the FEDS were closing. He was a total J.O.!

I seem to recall that there is some sort of statute called continuing criminal conspiracy. If a pattern of corruption is detected, but is still continuing, I think it can be enforced from the beginning without regard for the limitations provisions.

Most of them.
Official misconduct and using your position for personal enrichment run from the date those crimes are learned of, not when they occurred. This could be wonderful.

Some additions to must reads for those interested in the city history are:
The Outfit by Gus Russo -some interesting takes on organized crime
Captive City by Ovid Demaris -a bit dated, but still informative about OC and the CPD
You heard it here, if it comes down to it and I don’t think it will Burke will fall on the sword
More tight sphincters and nervous stomachs around City Hall.
They could film the movie in Chicago, but might be
run out by Aldercreatures/gangs/d-bys/rampant theft.
Hiring extras? They just might get sick on you, mid-
production. How long before the crew is on stronger
drugs than what they came in with?
Burke sure done made his bank

Okay.....and you care so much about Cooley because why??? Did he snitch on some Bridgeport sub-human clout asshole or other goof that you were or are still sweet on? Was Burke your Chinaman? Quit crying about him whenever his name makes this blog. The trial he testified at happened all the way back in like 1992. Way different job and different times back then. Nobody gives a fuck about your opinion of him. Nobody did months ago when you started crying about him. Oh, and nobody gives a fuck about what you think about Kass either. Unless you got a valid point to make then please just shut the fuck up.
Lets hope that they get Preckwinkle too!
Time for Zalewski to cash in his casino chips.

The guy above speaks gospel. The never trust a fed bull is total b s. Copper' think the bureau guys are targeting them. Total bull shit. They go after real criminal copper' who got away with crimes cause the bosses got their kick back.
The agents at the bureau and other federal : E are top shelf, always had a riot working with them. Many are former local L E. Thanks for great info brother. The mid night is burning
late on Roosevelt. The Fed' work slow, but they are accurate as ever.
Should of went to the bureau decades ago, but being with the CPD was a move.
May the good Lord bless the FBI and CPD.
As the retired agent stated, Our new mayor wants the crooks gone. Bless her soul.
Say 5-05-19 @ 12:30 pm, I believe I speak for all of us coppers when I say I hope your info is good. This sure would be a morale booster.

Prayers this happens and both posts are true. So much corruption, it's frightful. Wonder if dickie turdbin is amongst the chosen for orange and perp walks? Pack your bags crimesha, father faker, shakedown jackson, jaamhead and the rest of the cons.
Sock up on popcorn, peanuts and beer. All great fun to watch. Love seeing the deserved finally get payback.
God bless CPD. How you stomach the site show is amazing.
Prayers the FBI post was alstrue

This is only to those that are dissing Ann Burke. Anne founded Special Olympics when she was a novice working at the Chicago Park District!!! Ethel Kennedy stole the idea and ran with it and became famous for Special Olympics. I personally don't care what happened after, but I will always give her the credit deserved!!!Sorry she hooked up with scammer ed burke, but like I said she gets credos from me\
Thank you Pat Murray for chiming in at 2:03pm. I recall Pat Murray campaigning saying he would resign as a field rep once he retired.
Too funny regarding the demented alderman Zaleeski to
Cash in his casino chips. He does like those $500
Ones. The black chips are to many to carry.
He is responsible for all those toxic sound proof
Windows for homes near the airport.
Wonder if he went with the connected contractor to China
To get a good deal.
Fatten up Mikey, club fed food is not the casino
Steak House in Hammond.
Burke, no 2 k suits out in the yard in Denver’ ski lodge
Aka, Club federal lodge of corrections.
Best thing to ever happen in Chicago was the
mayor elect ! Sharp as a tack and honest.
she is holding all her cards very close.
Special Ed is too dumb to think he will
be around long after she takes seat.
She got all the crooks shitting. Richie will claim post
dementia.
Trump is laughing his ass off when the rats
start appearing on Dearborn street.

Do you mean the FBI that illegally spied on Trump's 2016 Presidential campaign by sending an investigator posing as a research assistant who set up an appointment with George Papadopoulos? The FBI (along with the DOJ) used a FISA warrant against Carter Page to illegally surveil numerous people who had some association with Donald Trump? Are we talking about the same FBI?
Whay are the chances that we all live to see shortshanks and the twerp murder mayor in federal prison and the cubs win another world series too.
Cubs Threepeat will happen before any of those fantasies

Wrongo, Bucko.
Eunice Kennedy Shriver founded them in 1968.
I highly doubt most or any of this. I have heard rumors of this type before and all of them fizzled out. I will believe it when I see it. Burke has been pretty smart in his dealings and rarely makes stupid mistakes. Lets see that the Feds have on him. We will know by the end of June when all indictments have to be filed. Something tells me that this is " much ado about nothing". But, in the outside chance that this has some traction ( an alderman did wear a wire for a couple of years, afterall), then I would say Burke will spill his guts rather then spend the rest of his life in the joint.
