Federal agents raided the City Hall office of powerful Chicago Ald. Ed Burke on Thursday morning, sources familiar with the development confirmed.
Agents arrived at the office early Thursday morning, told employees to leave and papered over the glass windows at the office’s entrance to conceal the investigation going on inside, a
source confirmed. A woman who left the office and did not identify herself said FBI agents were inside.
Burke’s office did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Burke’s ward office on the Southwest Side also had the same brown paper taped over its front door with three
signs that read, “Office closed.” An officer sitting in a squad car parked behind Burke's ward office said a search warrant was being executed inside but offered no further details.
Burke is the longtime chairman of the City Council’s Finance Committee, where he controls much of the legislative purse strings at City Hall. He has held office since 1969 and is
running for re-election to a record 14th term.
A law enforcement source told the Chicago Tribune that FBI agents raided Burke’s City Hall office and that the search was ongoing. No arrests were made or are imminent, said the
source, who had no details on the nature of the investigation.

Holy shit!!!
Fingers very crossed right now.
Please please please, crucify the fuck, throw the entire book at him and all his cronies
Today has been a whirlwind, this huge weight of feeling stuck in a world of shit just might go away after all. The most surprising thing to me is that my loudest co-worker who's always supported Trump even today had a very different approach, from the normal "He'll always be right and everyone else is so stupid," to "Well can't people just let him finish up his term at least?"
Still a long way to go, but damn if this doesn't feel refreshing.
/// FBI ASSAULT IN PROGRESS ///
Jesus Christ, this week has been such a whirlwind of revelations. I hope to God this is the beginning of the end. Especially with how panicked Trump has been on Twitter this whole week. He probably knows what's coming next: him.
He's going to try to fire Mueller. Get ready to protest en masse.
I have a feeling this really is. Trump’s official answers seemed to have kickstarted this entire recent chain of events.
put me in the video smurfy
I always thought they were more likely to get Trump on stuff like tax fraud/emoluments than collusion, so this is awesome to see.
I hope they get him on everything.
With the massive ramp up towards It finally Happening in the last few days, I keep wondering if decades down the line I'll remember what I was doing when the news of Trump getting exposed breaks, like how crazy is it that history is developing right in front of us like this?
Last one went pretty good, I have no idea what it would look like now.

Oh, me too! I just think collusion is harder to prove, that's all. They do seem to have a substantial amount of witness testimony now though, so I'm hopeful!
hope they're doing mythic

can a pretty red bow be put on the door as well?
hey now i think about it, where is Trump likely to get imprisoned if things hypothetically reached that point?
hoping i'll get to decorate a lightpost for christmas this year, lol
I am so looking forward to seeing the court case titled: President Donald J. Trump v. United States of America.
Hopefully we'll finally have those damn tax returns come out.
The House can subpoena any tax return, including the President's, from the IRS. We can assume that House Democrats will open a proper investigation in the new year, unlike Nunes's joke of an investigation (that is being revealed to be full of lies, thanks to Cohen's confessions).
