Misleading thread title is misleading.
Chicago alderman that carried water for Trump's Chicago project relative to property taxes, that's also been a Chicago pol for 5 decades.

So...Trump hid all of his Russia stuff in an attorney's office who appealed a property tax for Trump? yeah...

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

Burke’s firm, Klafter & Burke, repeatedly has sought to reduce the property taxes that Trump Tower and other commercial properties have to pay — a lucrative business that’s also enriched Illinois House Speaker Michael J. Madigan, D-Chicago.
Hmm.

You are the king of fake news.

Assuming you read the whole article, that is a huge stretch to get it tied to Trump.
Burke is a corrupt Democrat in the slimy Chicago political machine. I would worry more about Obama being tied, than Trump.

From your article:
quote:
Burke, a Democrat, has been targeted for defeat by Garcia because of his property-tax appeal work for Trump.
quote:
Burke is leaving the legislature, having been defeated by a little-known candidate backed by Jesus “Chuy” Garcia after a campaign dominated by Ed Burke’s property-tax reduction work for the tower along the Chicago River bearing the name of Donald Trump.
Disingenuousness is disingenuous

Every time you post I just laugh.
I imagine you as about 5'5" 225 pounds, wavy hair on a receding hairline. You've grown a goatee because you feel it makes your face look thinner. You usually have some kind of soft drink in hand and only been in a relationship once, many years ago. Sometimes, in the quiet recesses of your mind you wonder what happened to her and think what might have been.
Sorry, its just really difficult to take anything you post serious as long as I have that image of you.
What was your post about again?

No he didn’t. He argued for favorable property tax. He is a dem that is part of the chicagonpolitical machine. You are the fakest of fake news.

Think about this, for just 20 seconds...
We are paying the Government to do this. We are paying the Government to do this. We are paying the Government to do this.
Let that sink in.

You and your type need to stop getting a boner every time someone tangentially connected to this administration gets into trouble.
Burke has been shoulder-deep in Chicago machine politics since my parents were in middle school. His only connection to Trump that I can figure out is that he's been the property tax adviser on the Chicago River Trump tower property since it opened in 2006.
The thing these articles aren't telling you is that Burke along with a small other coterie of people (the Madigans, for instance) control the property tax system with an iron fist, and every single developer big and small has had to go through this little cabal since Daley Sr. was in office. It's a racket, and the odds are that Ed Burke is getting caught up in garden-variety Chicago machine chicanery rather than something Trump-specific are about 99:1.
Also, notice that they raided his alderman's office at City Hall, not the actual law office.
