Barack Obama received a sweetheart land deal from his one time major fundraiser and now convicted Tony Rezko, that is old news. But what is new news is the fact that Joe Biden has ties into this whole money laundering scheme. Joe Biden has been a friend of Joseph Cari, who just pleaded guilty to extortion, for thirty years.
Biden has described himself as a 30-year friend of a key figure in the Rezko trial who’s pleaded guilty to a federal extortion charge in Chicago and is awaiting sentencing.
So what was Cari’s crime?
In 2005, Cari admitted to taking part in an $850,000 kickback scheme that prosecutors say was part of a larger political fund-raising operation for Gov. Blagojevich overseen by Rezko, who was convicted in June of wide-ranging corruption involving state deals
Surely Joe Biden would condemn this criminal, wouldn’t he? Here is what Biden said about his longtime pal, Joe Cari:
“All I know is Joe Cari is a friend, and he’s an honorable guy, but I don’t know anything beyond that.”
He is an honorable guy? Joe Biden comes to this man’s defence and offers himself as a defacto character witness. They say that you can judge a man’s character by the company that you keep, and there is allot of truth to that. Judging by the company that Joe Biden has kept for thirty years I would say that his integrity has been soiled. We are to believe that Cari laundered and extorted all of this money and none of it ever went to Joe Biden? We are to believe that Joe Biden either had no knowledge of Cari’s dealings or did and didn’t care. Either way this indictment of Cari is an indictment on Joe Biden and his integrity, judgement, and questionable associations.
Have you ever heard of guilt by association? Joe Biden is guilty.
Honorable men don’t do what Joseph Cari did. If Biden thinks Cari is an honorable man, then Biden’s judgment is poor and not to be trusted.
Blagojevich is NEVER going to be charged because that VILE Federal Attorney ,Patrick Fitzgerald is COVERING for him.
Thanks (again). BTTT!
Finally. I have never understood why Barak picked Biden until now.
Anybody read “I Heard You Paint Houses”?
Its a mob book about Jimmy Hoffa’s assassin, Frank Sheeran of Philadelphia, who was a fixer for the Bufalino crime family and a Teamster boss in Wilmington, Del.
He tells the story of how they phonied up a strike among newspaper deliveries to keep a full page ad by Biden’s first senatorial opponent, whom apparently had explosive accusations which likely could’ve shifted a close race.
There are other tidbits in there that align Biden with the underbelly of Teamster activity in Delaware, which shouldn’t come as a surprise to anyone who understands the corrupt influence of organized Labor and the Democrat addiction to their money.
Good Find!
No, but I'm sure they will catch it on the nightly news tonight or in tomorrows New York Times.
I have to thank the PUMA’s for this one...they have it on their site. If nothing else, this election has removed the scales from the eyes on a lot of people over there - they won’t be voting demonRAT for a while. They’re totally disgusted with what they’re seeing from the RATS. We’ve all known it forever but they’re now finding out just how evil the liberals are.
Ha! indeed.
Meanwhile, Hagel is busy pontificating that Gov. Palin is an insulting selection. Okay. Gotcha, Chuck.
Isn’t that just the way it always turns out? Very few of these crooked politicians get their comeuppance because the d@mned attorneys are just as crooked. I’m so sick of it.
Aho, the truth emergeth...now Obama’s choosing Joe Biden is starting to make sense.
Yet all the press can bellyache about is whether Sarah Palin used her Yahoo email for state business?
