Obama Be Handed Over To The Feds? Rezko Squeaks
~Snooper~
HT Stormin' Norman and Radarsite. From the News Journal Online and the Sun-Times...
I wrote about this just a few days ago in preparation for the hopefully inevitable. Apparently, the inevitable is coming home to roost. Obama is in deep do-do.
NJO (AP):
Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive.Sun-Times:
Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable.
Rezko also was friendly with Obama - offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee - even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama. [...]
Sneed hears rumbles political fund-raiser/fixer Tony Rezko, who is now singing sweetly to the feds from his cell at the Metropolitan Correctional Center, has been talking about his "dealings" with a Chicago bank, which has political connections.Couldn't happen to a more crooked crook than Obama.
Stay tuned.
