The Chicago Sun-Times has an interview with reporters Fran Spielman, Jon Seidal, and Tim Novak on the investigation of powerful Chicago Alderman Ed Burke. Reporter Jon Seidal reminds us that the FBI wiretapped several thousand phone conversations between Alderman Ed Burke and other individuals ! At least 9,784 phone conversations (the number 9,784 is on page 35 of the criminal complaint). Chicago politicians, judges, and businessmen tied to the Cook County Democratic party are in panic. What was said? Is Dick Durbin, Rahm Emanuel, Luis Gutierrez on those phones calls? Few criminal investigations have this many phone calls tapped. It appears Ed Burke couldn't "pick" a U.S. Attorney to look the other way any longer...
