This may have more to do with Chicago politics and Trump’s name is just a way to distract from that.

Many of you obviously don't know this, so allow me to clue you all in:

This is the SEVENTH RAID on Chicago Alderman Ed Burke's offices by the Fed's in the last 30 years.

This raid has NOTHING to do with PDJT and everything to do with Chicago Alderman Ed Burke, who's been on the Chicago City Council since 1969.

Burke has an iron fist control over the Finance Committee for the City of Chicago and nothing -- I mean NOTHING gets done in the City without his approval. In fact, his wife is a sitting Judge and no one -- I mean NO ONE gets to be a Cook County Judge at any level without first visiting Chicago Alderman Ed Burke's office and kissing his ... er, ring.

That is just a small sample of power and control Burke has over the city and again, the Fed's have raided his office SEVEN TIMES over the years. This has nothing to do with President Trump.

In fact, even Burke's allies have publicly stated in the last 24 hours "what took the Fed's so long?" in public TV interviews.

Hey, a question out of curiosity if one may:

Did your brother use the term "Deep State", or what other term did he use for it?

The deep state knows full well if they lose many will go to jail. What we are witnessing is not only political war but legal war of what the deep state will win or fail. Trump will not go to jail. Many in the deep state will if Trump wins this fight.

Jailing these Deep State traitors is insufficient. I want them executed.

This is why I have decried the implementation of term limits.

The bureaucracy stays, our representatives come and go.

Who holds the power?

Unless we can convince people to become informed voters, we will lose our freedoms.

“Sounds to me this has nothing to do with Trump.”

It has everything to do with Trump. It is a fishing expedition to see if his records have anything related to Trump, like they did Cohen.

And anyone who ever has done business with Trump already has a target on his back.

This has nothing to do with Trump It’s a gratuitous reference to Trump by a Chicago Tribune writer who knew upon doing so would be picked and referenced up by other media sources .

Been informed it has something to do with Burke’s administration of court settlement funds on workers compensation suits which Burke’s legal firm has been administering .

Burke’s been a fixture as an Alderman in Chicago politics for 50 years. His brother recently ran for state rep and lost. His wife is a judge. His ward boundaries ,14th, was changed along with several other wards. They had their neighborhoods divided to create “Hispanics” sections going to Hispanic aldermanic and congressional (Gutierez) candidates and blacks going to black.

The “former tax attorney” is now a CHICAGO ALDERMAN, which is virtually in indictment unto itself.

I hate the lying scum media.

I have an old-fashioned view about this.

President Trump needs to exercise his Article II, Section 3 authority to "take Care that the Laws be faithfully executed."

It's past time to indict people and let the courts proceed with their own Constitutional responsibility.

I'm sick and tired of seeing the 3 Branches exceed their Constitutional authority. They're all guilty. I even see this morning that FaceBook is trying to get itself into the business of law enforcement.

You may say I'm naive but I am seeing such blatant injustice !

Hillary and her cabal are getting away with such unspeakable crimes while people associated with President Trump are facing jail time (or are already in prison) because they were, for example off in their estimate of when something took place by 5 months (as in the Corsi case).

I'm sick of getting rolled.

Ald. Ed Burke has been under suspicion for years, as he is a long-time crooked Chicago politico. The raid may have nothing at all to do with POTUS.

Because his tax attorney may have some information which does not match up with his tax returns.

This is a pure and simple fishing expedition ok’ed by some left-wing judge without any evidence. This is how deep state remains in power.

I don’t know enough about federal law to offer an opinion about “importing” jurors from other states. I will speculate it has not happened often, and only under unique circumstances, if it did.

The main problem is that most of the career prosecutors in the Department of Justice are also career anti-Trump, anti-Conservative, Democrats.

By the time this is over, and before a truly fair court, Trump should walk away with billions in damages from the crimes committed against him while in office.
