Presidential Pardon Pending.

[RC2]

He has nothing to lose now. Start talking to get back at them.

[Notwithstanding]

A fair headline would be:

“Obama mentor to serve 10 years for corruption”

[MEG33]

“Illinois was for sale at the very top levels of our government.”

Glad the judge is making it tough on the crook.

Watch for a presidential pardon long about midnight on January 19, 2013.

“You put their retirements at risk for your own greed and your own thirst for power,” St. Eve said.

Under these same guidelines, most of the Congressmen on Capital Hill could serve life sentences for what they have done to Social Security; and I wish they would.

[Old Retired Army Guy]

When does the Obama sentence commutation or pardon come?

[ColdOne]

Interesting

[wideawake]

A pale, thin Rezko gave a brief statement before he learned his sentence, saying “there are no words to describe the pain and regret,” he carries and the amount of suffering his family has endured.

Good point. No family in all the annals of human history has ever suffered as much as the Rezko family has, and probably no family ever will.

He truly is a modern-day Job.

When a prestige house across the street from Tony Rezko's came on the market at 5046 S. Greenwood, Rezko must have thought it was just perfect for Barack and Michelle Obama and their two daughters. Rezko found the house for Obama. Salon.com reported that Donna Schwan of MetroPro Realty, the real estate agent who listed the property, recalled that the deal started when Rezko expressed interest in the listing, according to the Chicago Tribune. The house was evidently perfect, a 96-year-old, multi-story, 6,400-square-foot, brick Georgian Revival home with four fireplaces, six bedrooms, six bathrooms, glass-door bookcases fashioned from Honduran mahogany, and a wine cellar large enough to store 1,000 bottles, the Tribune reported. The house was situated on a large double corner lot, with the vacant lot adjoining the home at the street corner. With a foot-tall concrete barrier and a wrought iron fence surrounding the property, there was no access to the vacant lot, except through Obama's driveway. The neighborhood was in Kenwood, a South Side oasis of pricey homes attractive to the University of Chicago professors who liked to live close to work. The property would be a nice step-up for the Obama family seeking to move from the small Hyde Park condo the couple bought in 1993 for $277,500, where they lived in the eight years Obama was state senator, to a prestige home suitable for the family of a U.S. senator, the Boston Globe reported. The problem was that the doctor and his wife who owned the property, Fredrick E. Wondisford and Sally R. Radovick, wanted to sell the vacant lot and the house at the same time, even though the two properties were separately listed. Also, while the sellers wanted to find a buyer as quickly as possible, they did not want to close the deal until June 2005. The list price just for the home was $1.95 million, outside the reach of the Obama family, even with Obama's re-issued 1995 autobiography, "Dreams from My Father," hitting bestseller lists, his U.S. Senate salary of $157,082, and Michelle's 2005 income of $317,000 at the University of Chicago Hospitals, Lynn Sweet of the Chicago Sun-Times reported. Rezko came up with a solution. His wife Rita bought the vacant lot at the full asking price, permitting Obama and Michelle to negotiate buying the house for $1.65 million, a discount of $300,000 from the asking price. Rita Rezko closed on the vacant lot the same day the Obamas closed on the house, paying $625,000 for the vacant lot.

He is under the bus and probably will not get a Presidential pardon even if Ibama would get a second term. Even if Ibama got a second term that would be 6 years?

Good thing the Establishmedia is covering this up.

Does Barack Obama know anyone who isn’t a crook, thief, domestic terrorist, charlatan, scammer or murderer?

Media bias: Obama crony Rezko sentenced Tuesday; Chicago Trib article doesn't mention president

While it's true that President Obama began his political career in the living room of former Weather Underground terrorists Bill Ayers ... his first political sponsor and major fundraiser was Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

The pair go back to the 1990s and Obama's state Senate years, but they are best known for the still-not-completely-explained 2005 real estate deal that allowed the Obamas to buy their Chicago South Side mansion, while Rezko's wife bought a narrow strip of the home's lot on the same day.

...In 2003, Rezko held a crucial fundraiser for Obama's US Senate campaign at his Chicago North Shore home--the future president was seen as a decided underdog in the race at that time.

[Responsibility2nd]

Sing, Tony, Sing!

 

 

 

This guy has more dirt on Zerobama than even Larry Sinclair.

[EDINVA]

that was my thought when I read the headling .. will he talk NOW? I can’t imagine anyone is worth 10.5 years of your life. BUT, would prosecutors be willing to offer a deal or would they rather protect some (or one) of Tony’s ‘partners?’

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

[ZULU]

Lets hope he sings like a canary.

[reaganaut]

Someone will till Rezco that he can get out under ‘good time half time’ even if he can’t. That will keep him mum until AFTER the election at least.

Zero wont pardon him unless he is backed into a corner.
