I don't know about all that, but if there's an investigation and he worked for Trump for 10 years, it may be relevant.

Truth is, neither of us know.

I'm not sure, but the Whitewater Clinton investigation took 6 years and cost $80 million.



Maybe Trump should start murdering witnesses like the Clintons

yeah, yeah, whatever. Its almost like liberals haven't been rock hard over Trump's taxes for the last 3 years. You can build those weak arse Russia justifications for everyone and everything in Trump's life within a few degrees of separation.

Its been two years. When is it OK for the American people to ask this SC to put up or shut up?

Its true and almost every single developer or building owner in Chicago has been forced to hire this POS because the County Assessor would intentionally inflate the property tax valuation so that you had to hire him or you would be hit with high property taxes. Every major building own in downtown Chicago has been forced to hire this putz and put him on the payroll for years to keep their property taxes at their actual assessment, except for the really crooked Chicago politicos who pay 4 cents on the 1 dollar in property taxes.

Why didn't they do that to Hillary and anyone connected to her...or Lois Lerner...etc, etc?
With Clinton, they didn't even take her server or any documents. She refused to give it up. Her people just said.."We looked at it ourselves and trust us, there's nothing of interest there"....and got away with it.
Why?

It sounds like the MSM are hoping this is about Trump.
quote:

Burke’s law firm of Klafter & Burke has worked with Trump’s companies repeatedly to reduce the property tax that Trump Tower and his other properties in Chicago have had to pay, according to the Sun-Times.

Over his 12 years working for Trump, Burke was allegedly able to cut the property taxes on the downtown tower by more than $14 million.

Burke stopped working for Trump this summer, citing “irreconcilable differences” in letters filed with the Illinois State Property Tax Appeal Board.

quote:

Federal agents showed up unannounced at the City Hall office of Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke, kicked everyone out and papered over the windows Thursday morning.

The exact nature of their visit was not known, but Ald. Burke (14th) has dodged dozens of federal investigations over five decades in Chicago politics.

A source told the Sun-Times the raids were in response to new allegations, and not prompted by any past controversies that have swirled around Burke. That means, for now, the investigation isn’t focused on Burke’s property-tax-appeal work for President Donald Trump, or Burke’s oversight of a city workers’ compensation fund, among other matters.

It doesn’t mean, however, that those dots won’t be connected later.


About 15 agents had arrived at City Hall about 7:30 a.m., bringing their own boxes. Some then went across the street to the underground parking garage at the Daley Center to find Burke’s car, but it wasn’t there.

Federal agents also showed up to Burke’s ward office and papered over the windows there. A group of them left about 1:10 p.m., nothing in hand, but others remained inside. By 1:30 p.m., they appeared to be wrapping up, and the brown paper had been removed.

About 1:40 p.m., the remaining agents left out the back door, with one cardboard file box, a computer and two computer monitors. Another carried up a giant wad of the brown paper that had covered the windows.

Exactly, see my last post. The Chicago newspaper seems hopeful something about Trump could turn up.

Exactly what does a tax lawyer who does property taxes have to do with Russia?

Should they have raided the accountants and lawyers for the Clinton foundation in particular her dealings with Putin. The half million speech and uranium purchase. Or the associates of Obama such as the anti-government bombers and the separatist minister and his affinity for mass murderer Mao. They (Mueller and dems) have no case so they want to get off into his financial dealings. BS.

It appears Mueller is getting so far off track that he is begging for Trump to fire him and make a case for obstruction. Time for the Republicans to nut up and cut his funding. And the new AG to call in the dogs and pizz on the fire.

Is this Mueller?? That disgusting piece of dog shite needs to have a rusty pole shoved up his a-hole until it pops out of his head.

Filthy fricktard sheep liberals call REAL Americans “nazis” for defending the constitution but this disgusting over reach is truly the Gestapo.

This guy didn't deal with real estate purchases. He worked on tax reductions. This is a fishing expedition looking for a financial issue. Period. Time for the new AG to do what he must since it appears that is Mueller's aim. He can't make a collusion case so he is trying to create an obstruction issue. And go out martyr. Which will make him an icon to the left and smear Trump. He can't make what he was appointed to investigate stick so he is after an impeachment proceeding for obstruction. Won't work but he is off the hook. Truth is the Republicans can now stop defending Mueller since he is way out in left field screwing with the voice of the American people who voted Donald Trump in office.

Trump parted ways with him long ago because of "Irreconcilable differences".

Agreed.
And who was the person that hand delivered the uranium sample to the Russians?
None other than "Honest Bob" Mueller.
Nothing to see here folks....move along.
