Judge delays Rezko sentencing

2nd Rezko delay PING!

[CedarDave]

Ratting on Gov Hairbrush isn't going to get him anything since the Feds have a slam dunk on Blago.

Actually that may not be the case. Legal eagles on Fox and elsewhere have been saying that just talking about extortion doesn't mean it actually occurred and due to newspaper leaks, the wiretaps had to be discontinued prematurely, before the talked about deals occurred. If Rezko actually has some evidence the feds can use against Blago, it would make sense to delay sentencing.

Sweating? I am hoping he has his Indonesian passport with him at all times now...

[wilco200]

“Best get the story out now while it’s worth something.”

Exactly. Just like they say on “Law & Order” — the first guy to sing gets the deal.

[Dubya-M-DeesWent2SyriaStupid!]

Yeah and since it is obvious he has already talked his sentence was to be lightened. Yet does he have immunity?
Or will he be getting it fully and soon if he sings more.

[HardStarboard]

>>>Maybe they offered him a discount off his sentence for every RAT that he helps them send up the river<<<

I've got a feeling Rezko has enough on his RAT friends that he could earn discounts from jail time to spend the rest of his life at the Ritz Carlton of his choice - with the roomate of his choice - all at US Taxpayer Expense.

...that's taxmoney I wouldn't resent spending.

month?
not likely that long

[70th Division]

I hope Fritz gets some four part harmony going here.

[sport]

No, if they want the stoy they better get it out of him while he is still alive. My hunch says that he is not long for this world.

[IrishPennant]

Can’t be a plea...already convicted. Sentencing...that’s a different story.

[Rum Tum Tugger]

It's too late for a plea bargain. He's already been convicted.

He would now be bargaining for a sentence reduction.

[aimhigh]

If it gets delayed past Janaury 22nd, then Obama will replace all the prosecutors - oops.

[Be Free]

We need a brave reporter at the next BHO news event to ask him to commit now to NO PARDONS of Blago, Rezko, Emmanuel, Jackson, Jr., etc., should they be indicted, once he is POTUS. If these guys have valuable info, BHO holds a “get out of jail free card” - if they stay quiet for a few weeks.

[east1234]

Time served?

[Welcome2thejungle]

Brave reporters? You kiddin’?

Only Joe the Plumber had the cojones to ask BHO a tough question.

The rest of the leftstream media is 100% in the tank for BHO.

BHO would not be where is today without the LSM building him up and covering up his tracks. He IS a media creation. Period.

Yeah, I keep wondering how junior US Senator Obama, having been elected just four month in Jan 2005, could have more than $330K to put down, then qualify for a $1.32M jumbo home loan -- home documents here:

http://www.judicialwatch.org/documents/2008/obama-ethics-exhibit-2.pdf

They had this much cash on hand, and of course, didn't have to provide a "proof of funds" statement or "gift letter". Otherwise be guilty of HUD defraudment (never explored, by the way -- HINT, HINT Investigators).

How much did US Senators get back then? Something like $169K a year?

He and Michelle didn't have jobs as attorneys...

And they got a rate of 5.625 percent, although the average going rate on the day of Closing, according to two different surveys, was between 5.93 and 6 percent.

AND they must have been REALLY good negotiators to get the list price from $1.95M down to a final sales price $1.65M.

Hmmm... nothing here to see. Move along....

“AND they must have been REALLY good negotiators to get the list price from $1.95M down to a final sales price $1.65M.”

ESPECIALLY since the real estate boom was in full bore then and it was wholly a sellers’ market. Something very strange happened there.

[Hanna548]

What about Daley?

[Hanna548]

I was wondering about this. Once you have been convicted, what is there to gain? Being convicted of certain crimes requires certain sentences.

When did Shelly quit her $300,000 a yr. job?

No doubt they got a sweetheart deal but, after all, they are MINORITIES.
