A Deerfield urologist caught up in the corruption probe surrounding Antoin “Tony” Rezko and other state government figures is scheduled to plead guilty next week, court records show.
Dr. Robert Weinstein was captured on tape discussing a number of crooked state deals with convicted influence peddler Stuart Levine, Weinstein’s longtime business partner who was the key witness in the Rezko trial.
Weinstein was charged last summer with conspiring with Levine to steal millions from a charity and a medical school. He faced trial at the end of the month.

A PETITION
for
The Impeachment of Senator Barack Obama
TO THE CONGRESS OF THE UNITED STATES
...snip....
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has maintained regular contact
with known criminals such as Antoin (Tony) Rezko and other
criminal elements in Chicago and Illinois. Mr. Obama has
conducted business with these criminals and received campaign
donations from them. Mr. Obama was compelled to return an estimated $250,000 in
donations related to Tony Rezko.
...SNIP...
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama has engaged in unscrupulous business
practices, in particular with Mr. Robert Blackwell. Mr. Obama
received an $ 8,000 per month “legal retainer” from Mr. Blackwell
for a total of $112,000 and reported the income through his law firm
in a manner not unlike money laundering. Obama, along with Obama
campaign manager Dan Shomon, procured $ 320,000 in state grants
for Blackwell’s company Killerspin. Blackwell companies contributed
over $ 32,000 to the Obama campaign in 2007.
Whereas: Senator Barack Obama used the office of IL Senator to
facilitate the vote rigging in Chicago as chairman of the Illinois Senate
Health and Human Services Committee. Mr. Obama pushed legislation in Senate Bill
1332 to reduce the number of members of the Health Facilities Planning Board
from 15 to 9. Mr. Obama did conspire with Stuart Levine, Tony Rezko and
Rod Blogojevich to rig the committee and was rewarded with campaign
contributions. The new members appointed included 3 doctors who contributed to
Mr. Obama. On April 21, 2004, Stuart Levine explicitly advised Dr. Robert Weinstein,
who is now indicted, of Tony Rezko’s role in manipulating the Planning Board’s vote.
54.
Numerous conversations related to the extortion were captured on the court-authorized wiretaps on Levine’s phones. In particular, on a recorded May 1, 2004
conversation, Levine spoke with Dr. Robert Weinstein, a co-schemer in Levine’s criminal activities.
During the call, Levine told Weinstein about his more recent meeting with Rezko and Kelly. Levine described how Rezko said that Rosenberg would “have a choice. . . . you
can raise a million and a half dollars for the fund raiser in June [for ROD BLAGOJEVICH]
. . . or you can work out somethin’ with [a consultant to pay a finder’s fee].”
During other conversations, Levine and Cellini discussed Rosenberg’s reaction to learning that Rezko and
Kelly were stalling Capri’s $220 million allocation and that if Rosenberg did not want to deal with Rezko in terms of paying money, then Rosenberg could walk away from the $220 million allocation.
