Federal agents have reportedly raided the Chicago City Hall office of a lawyer who previously did tax work for President Trump.
The Chicago Sun Times reports that federal agents removed everyone from the office of Chicago Finance Committee Chairman Ed Burke on Thursday morning, covering the floor-to-ceiling windows with brown paper.

A spokesman for the U.S. attorney's office declined to comment when contacted by the Sun Times. A man who answered the door of the office when a reporter knocked also declined to comment.
Burke's office did not immediately respond to The Hill's request for comment.
Burke worked for Trump for more than a decade doing property tax work.
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 Chicago 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.

I've grown very weary of this. There is no apparent connection with President Trump. But the media assumes there is.
The war is not over until one side is totally defeated.
When you can’t get Trump to show his tax returns, go after his people that work for him!
Never mind Lois Lerner who committed FELONIES!
F U R M!
Of course the media fails to report that the Feds wouldn’t be raiding the Alderman’s City Hall office if they were looking for Trump’s tax records. This guy is a Democrat, and has held the office of Alderman for the 14 ward in Chicago since 1969.
Did they work directly for Trump the man, or Trump the corporation? I doubt Trump is directly involved with day-to-day business on all his properties.
Que up CWII!
So much for lawyer/client privacy privilege.
They (dims and deep swamp) have been given the unlimited authority to pick apart every aspect of his existence without oversight.
No limits on Dems crimes.
Was Whitaker aware this was going to happen? Trump is going to have to prove that Hillary Clinton is about to be investigated to the nth degree, and will probably go to jail. See how far the Dems will take this if she is in peril.
I think Drudge ran out of room for anti Trump banner headlines. Anybody still want to defend Drudge as a mere “news aggregator”?
The remaining honest Justice Dept. Officers need to raid mueller’s office.

Among other things in his professional life, presumably.

Is there any entity in the U.S., apart from the small taxpayer, who has not done the same thing?
Does the Chicago Sun Times have a tax accountant on retainer? For what purpose, may I ask?
What scares me is the communists Democrats are using the law enforcement of the Government to search for a crime. America is allowing this and will destroy us totally.
Because that is exactly what is going on here...
They just may have gone to far now.
The BS they are pulling with Corsi, Michael Cohen and others in a last ditch effort is absolutly in line with this crap.
.
I walked by Trump Towers one time. Will they come for me too?
I got a feeling Mr. Burke is about to be charged with lying to the FBI and offered probation if he cooperates.
What does this have to do with “Russian Collusion”?
Looking for names of any Russians and Russian companies in all of the Trump real estate docs the lawyer has.
