Ed Burke ? someone needs to check out his biography. Look at wiki for a slight clue. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Edward_M._Burke

Political incest runs deep in that family.

This guy is bad news...but for Trump ? I don’t think so

According to a 2015 overview of Burke’s 14th Ward, the largest proportion of the population there is Hispanic.

The WWI vets tried that after the war to get what was promised them. They were fired on by the federal government. No one shares that story!

I remember when they did this with turbo-tax Tim Geitner, and Charlie Rangle and Al Sharpton. Oh wait

Will Mueller bring down the entire corrupt Chicago Machine to try to get at Trump?

This could get interesting.

Or this could be unrelated to Mule head and this is an attempt to get at Obama. I don’t know, just throwing that out there.

I don't know if its related to Mueller or not, but it's still fun to speculate.

Speculate this: What if Burke has the goods on all of those high profile Chicago Dems, and they know it? Mueller lets them know that if Burke spills his guts on Trump, Mueller will look the other way on other matters.

One of two things happen:

1) All of those high profile Chicago Dems pressure Burke to flip on Trump, or

B) Burke is found Burnham Park with a 'self-inflicted' gunshot wound to the back of the head, ruled as clearly a suicide.

Mueller "The Composer" is going to keep harassing anyone connected with Trump until he finds someone willing to lie about the Russian collusion hoax.

Upon their arrival, everyone in the office was asked to leave

Well, isn't that special? They got the office all to themselves huh? What could possibly pop up? (anything a corrupt FBI would want to plant).

Feds have been gunning for Ed Burke for decades. Trump hired him because he has stroke in Chicago politics/finance.

Investigation in search of a crime...

Special counsels are a joke. It was dumb to sic Ken Starr on Bill Clinton as well. Clinton did himself in by lying about Lewinsky. Didn't need a special counsel for that.

If there is a crime, prosecute it! It should never be the other way around.

“Klafter & Burke, his firm, has often sought to reduce the property taxes Trump Tower and other commercial properties have to pay.”

THAT IS A TAX FIRM’S JOB, MORONS! /obviously not directed at the OP or Freepers

A Russian in that “small town” (Chicago) once walked by the front door. CLEAR COLLUSION!

Someone on the janitorial staff was asked by the FBI if he remembered when the Russian walked by. He said the date was Jan. 4, 2016. It was actually Jan. 5, 2016. Mueller now has that person up on charges for lying in a federal investigation.

/lame attempt at humor, but there is some truth in the above regarding the absurdity of it all and Mueller’s utter out-of-control actions
