Donald Trump's Former Tax Attorney Has Office Raided by Federal Agents
By Alexandra Hutzler On 11/29/18 at 2:55 PM

President Donald Trump’s former tax attorney for over a decade, Edward Burke, had his Chicago office raided by federal agents on Thursday.

Burke, currently serving as the chairman of the City Council Committee on Finance, assisted Trump with his taxes for 12 years and fought many legal battles for the real estate mogul to reduce property taxes in the Chicago area.

Federal agents reportedly arrived at Burke’s office on Thursday morning unannounced and made everyone leave the building before placing paper over all of the windows, according to the Chicago Sun-Times. The nature of the visit was not known.

Burke, a Democrat, has been the alderman of Chicago’s 14th Ward for nearly 40 years and before entering politics was a city police officer. His small law firm Klafter & Burke worked with Trump since 2006 to lower property taxes on the president’s Chicago buildings by more than $14 million.

Would this "raid" have occurred if - for example, Jeff Sessions (R) - was tRump's tax attorney? A better question: What Teflon Don income tax fraud skeletons are hiding in the Burke office files?

1. Is it uninteresting?

2. VERY SOON THIS WILL NOT BE CONCEALED BY "PLACING PAPER ON WINDOWS"

Actual, physical evidence for income-tax evasion, by Teflon Don, will probably emerge from this raid by US Federal Agents...

3. If this is about DT.

I hope it is and they nail all his tax returns
to the church door in Wittenburg.

Well, you get the drift.

5. Like the orriginal Mafia crime-boss, "DT" aka Teflon Don tRump will get justice soon

Actually Al Capone, like BOTH Tefon Don's, was slippery and hard to convict. Finally, the FBI caught Al Capone for income tax evasion. Did you know that Teflon Don tRump, recently, radically reduced funding to the IRS?

6. BTW, why are uninformative "tweet" O.P.s on this topic more popular?

8. Yes

And the IRS and taxpayers like me are none
too happy about it either!

10. The new question becomes; will tRump buy new knee-pads to meet Xi; or...

Well he wear the same ones he was forced to wear, when he met with Kim Jong-un? BTW, apparently Putin does not appear to require similar tRump foreign relations.

4. This has not made WAPO or MSNBC yet..I hope they're busy verifying the facts....

If so, tomorrow will be a roller coaster....

11. I really wanted to give you the last reply; but someone placed another below yours

7. Before getting too worked up...

This is about a well-known Alderman in Chicago (my sources say his Ward office was raided as well) and is more likely about his own election issues.

9. Because he is a Democrat, you might be correct; but there might be other evidence...
