Jason Van Dyke Release / Ald. Burke Wiretap / Judge On Hot Mike

An unsealed court document adds intrigue to the federal case against Chicago's longest serving ward boss.

While the feds were listening — and watching on video — indicted Ald. Ed Burke made an ironic prediction that didn't come to fruition.

"Hey, you're not going to get in any trouble, and I'm certainly not going to get in any trouble at this stage of the game," Burke said, according to the 166-page affidavit made public Friday.
