While Obama Talks, Rezko Sings
Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/11/08

Posted on 12/11/2008 6:59:53 PM PST by Patrick1

Without explanation District Judge Amy St. Eve canceled her own deadlines for lawyers to file briefs on the upcoming sentencing of Antoin "Tony" Rezko.

That name should sound familiar, as detailed in a Special Ticket Report the other day; he's the Illinois political fixer, real estate man and fundraiser with close connections to Obama, Blagojevich and other Chicago political clans who's unhappy in solitary and sought to advance his sentencing to Jan. 6 on 16 federal counts of fraud, money laundering and abetting bribery. (Obama was not implicated in that trial.)

Hehehehe. This just confirms that Rezko is cooperating with the Feds.

How many have to sing before it qualifies as a choir?

What put the Feds on to Rezko in the first place, anybody know? I wonder if somebody squealed on him and, if so, who?

He's singing to reduce his sentence, soon he'll be tap dancing.

And the Electoral College votes will be cast on the 15th? Is that right?

Any chance that this will be done by then or am I hoping for too much?

..when dealing with a rats nest, it's never been a good idea to pick out one rat. Selecting the slowest one, gets you the dumbest,but you still have a rats nest

Wonder if he’ll tell them everything. There’s probably only so much he knows they’d be interested in. I never read what all the charges were about, but there were a lot, just seems odd and the timing.

I do believe the media is beginning to turn a bit.

Hillary, you magnificent bastard!

Yes, the electoral college votes on Dec. 15. Obama’s electors are all party loyalists...no way they’d vote for McCain, but if Obama was hopelessly tarnished they could vote for Hillary. I don’t think there’s time enough for information to come out that would damage Obama sufficiently for that to happen, not with the media harping on how he’s not touched by the scandal.
