Possible change of heart Rezko talked with prosecutors, may aid probe, sources say By David Kidwell, John Chase and Jeff Coen | Chicago Tribune reporters 5:24 PM CDT, September 27, 2008 Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a convicted influence peddler who was once one of Gov. Rod Blagojevich's most trusted confidants, has met with federal prosecutors and is considering cooperating in the corruption probe of the governor's administration, sources told the Tribune.
Rezko's possible change of heart—after years of steadfast refusal—has sent ripples through a tight circle of prominent defense attorneys who represent dozens of potential witnesses and targets in the wide-ranging probe.

What is the name of the “Fort Marcy Park” in Chicago? That may be where Rezko will wind up if he is potentially going to sing like a canary on the Chicago Machine.......
“Crooks always have a price - there is no honor among thieves. It depends on what the prosecutors threaten him with. “
This guy has been in jail for quite a while and he was convicted with sentencing coming up. He now knows what life in the pen will be like and by turning states evidence he could take down a LOT of corrupt politicians.....Obama AND I believe I read BIDEN were both involved with this Rezko but not sure to what degree this will truly happen. There were a lot of politicians including the Dem Illinois Governor involved with Rezko. This is great news!!!
Bender Rizo getting offer he can’t refuse LOL!
I hope Steve Schmidt and the rest of the McCain campaign team are, shall we say, monitoring this situation closely.
His opponent: Judy Baar Topinka, not much better.
Chicago ain't Disneyland and having Democrat enemies can definitely lead to a Vince Foster moment.
Funny how I viewed Rezco as scum and now find myself praying for him.
Tony better fess up fast, & get total immmunity and protection before Louie’s guys come and visit.
I guess Tony knows he’d die of a heart attack or something otherwise.
Think McCain pardon. Think Clinton couldn't arrange that? The Clintons have taken their politics to a new level: stealth.
Rezjo, is hopefully, in protective custody? He is going to need it.
“Think Clinton Inc. might be involved...with convincing Rezko, I mean.”
I wouldn’t be surprised. I the Bill and Hillary are a little worried about Obama’s rise in the polls. His defeat is key to Hillarys political future.
“....probably have a heart attack while behind bars.”
Very possible. Rezko plays with bad company. He’s been tight with, as in financially beholden to N. Auchi the billionaire with the British legal firm that cloaks him from any and all scrutiny. Auchi the notorious World Class Villain Arms Dealer. The same Auchi whom was the Oil Minister for Saddam Hussein at the time of the UN “Oil for Food” scandal. This guy plays mean and rough.
And then the "Parks" that aren't really: Edison, Norwood, Oak, Forest, Villa, Hanover, Franklin, Tinley, ...
≤}B^)
Not too soon. :)
Oh wait I thought Hillary was going to take Bidens place on Oct 5....
I lived in Carol Stream for a year or so, back in ‘95....wasn’t sure of the park names, but the Fosterizing might befall Rezko if he looks like he’s gonna ‘sing’......
the funny thing about situations like this is that liberals tend to be conspiracy theory wackjobs-kennedy, 9/11-but they never make a stink about stuff like this.
“This might make for a nice little October surprise.”
Bill and Hillary are working overtime?
I heard that sHillary has quitely given the go ahead to the DA to waterboard Rexko. :oP
