Since arresting Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has renewed interest in convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko's part in the purchase of Barack Obama's Chicago mansion, according to a former real estate analyst who says he was interviewed by the federal prosecutor in the past 10 days.

Kenneth J. Conner told WND he was interviewed by investigators from Fitzgerald's office regarding the purchase of the Obama mansion and the adjacent vacant lot that Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased simultaneously. As WND reported last week, Connor filed a civil complaint in October with the Illinois Circuit Court in Cook County alleging he was fired by Mutual Bank of Harvey, Ill., because he objected to land appraisals submitted on behalf of the Rezkos and the Obamas, with the complicity of the bank.

Connor previously confirmed to WND that he told the FBI, months ago, when he initially was fired, that the bank and the Rezkos were engaged in "fraud, bribes or kickbacks, use whatever term you want," to benefit the Obamas.

Connor said his lawyer, Glenn R. Gaffney, also has been interviewed by the FBI about the Rezko-Obama deal within the past 10 days.

Connor has disclosed that during the initial investigation he met with two FBI agents for approximately an hour and a half to discuss the Rezko-Obama home purchase.

"The entire deal amounted to a $125,000 payoff from Tony Rezko to Barack Obama," Conner previously told WND.

Only $0.125 million?

Nice phraseology

“Those who make less than a quarter of a million dollars will NOT be affected by my tax plan…..”

[a quarter of a million sounds like a hell of a lot more than $250,000, so use that. Okay Barry?]

Michelle was protection for UofC hospital. Blago and Rezko were shaking down hospitals in IL when they needed new permits..like their community clinics.
It is obvious, also, that the Rezko realestate deal was a payment to Zero for services rendered. Blatant bribery.
I sometimes wonder if anyone has actually filed a compliant to the FBI about this transaction. Seems any citizen with knowledge of it could file.

Inflation; coming to a country near you, soon.

That is certainly part of it. Recall that Blago was looking to get lucrative employment for his wife. It’s there, it will take some digging...

Good point - the transcript has Blaggo spouting off about Zer0's wife getting the Walmart position she was unqualified for while his wife was more qualified. That one little point should make it obvious that the black widow and Zer0 are fully involved. Fitz can;t bury that - it's out there.
