Antoin "Tony" Rezko was arrested early Monday at his Wilmette home by federal agents on an alleged bond violation, the Tribune has learned.

Investigators had in recent weeks become concerned about the movement of some of his finances, a source said. Rezko, who is scheduled to stand trial on corruption charges in less than a month at the Dirksen U.S. Courthouse, was taken into custody due to an alleged bond violation, a source confirmed.

Clinton or Obama whom do you detest more.

Obama. His very candidacy is an insult to all Americans. Were he 2 halves white, he would have never raised a dime, nor garnered a Kennedy endorsement. I find it despicable and un-American to choose candidates based on race, gender, or class.

Patent that bumpersticker now!

[Anti-Bubba182]

It sure looks that way.

"...an alleged bond violation..." This smells.

Check his wallet for a signed copy of that picture of him with the Toons. Also look for admission stubs from the Clintoon lie-brary and massage parlor.

[Lijahsbubbe]

The officials should have him on 24-hour Arkancide watch.

Yep. It's not lookin' good for Rezko....

HEY Tomkow do you hear about this guy????

[Beckwith]

Seems that way.

I have already made a correction to my website’s Obama File.

Precision is important and I thank you for bringing that erroneous piece of information to my attention.

Another phase in the battle between the empty suit and the empty pantsuit.

Oh, I'll bet there's a buttload of socialist evil in the pantsuit...

[stevie_d_64]

Yep, before he was made into a big divot...

I wonder who he would, or should thank for this arrest???

Culture of Corruption vies for the White House...

Things that make you go hmmmm... and how much money (Profit) did the Oblamas make from this shady deal?.. For a potential POTUS shouldn’t he have vetted his business partners better... and we are going to trust this guy with the country?

[Political Junkie Too]

This remindes me of the lawsuit against Bill Simon by Gray Davis cronies in the months before the California Governors election. Simon's family company was found guilty of defrauding a convicted drug trafficker over a pay phone company, but the appeals court later overturned the conviction. Too late for Simon, though.

Didn’t I tell you they were going to throw everything at Obama.

[justiceseeker93]

These charges appear to be filed in federal court. Therefore, Hillary probably is not behind them.

Really? The last I had heard, the US Attorney for that district is none other than DEMOCRAT Parick Fitzgerald, the same guy that prosecuted Scooter Libby!

[SE Mom]

:) Yep-you were right- and according to Bill Kristol they’re going to do The Big Oppo Research Dump this week...

[SevenofNine]

Yup that him LOL!

I hope he stay away from O”hare airport if you know what I mean LOL!

[CitizenM]

Along your thought - could be he might have agreed to information on his association with/"donations" to Obama and the Clintons in exchange for....amnesty of some sort?

Hmmmm, maybe the Republicans at work here?
