1. Obama may have lied about conversations with convicted fraudster Tony Rezko
Blagojevich's lawyers allege that Rezko admitted breaking the law by contributing "a large sum of cash" to a public official. Blagojevich's attorneys say that public official is Obama. Obama said that Rezko never relayed a request from a lobbyist to hold a fundraiser in favor of favorable legislative action. But the point may be moot: regardless of Obama talking/not talking to Rezko, Blagojevich's attorneys say that Obama refused the request regardless.
Redacted portion: However, the defense has a good faith belief that Mr. Rezko, President Obama’s former friend, fund-raiser, and neighbor told the FBI and the United States Attorneys a different story about President Obama. In a recent in camera proceeding, the government tendered a three paragraph letter indicating that Rezko “has stated in interviews with the government that he engaged in election law violations by personally contributing a large sum of cash to the campaign of a public official who is not Rod Blagojevich. … Further, the public official denies being aware of cash contributions to his campaign by Rezko or others and denies having conversations with Rezko related to cash contributions. … Rezko has also stated in interviews with the government that he believed he transmitted a quid pro quo offer from a lobbyist to the public official, whereby the lobbyist would hold a fundraiser for the official in exchange for favorable official action, but that the public official rejected the offer. The public official denies any such conversation. In addition, Rezko has stated to the government that he and the public official had certain conversations about gaming legislation and administration, which the public official denies having had.

Blast from the past.
Just in time for the Sunday Morning news shows. Will anybody pick it up?
Hopefully Chris Wallace will.
May have, what kind of bizarro world is this, of coarse he was, his mouth was moving.
Where is Eric Holder on this one?
Preparing KSM to take the fall.
Yes, this may just be the beginnings of calls for an Independent Counsel (do we even have those anymore?).
Maybe. Maybe not. This boil’s thru the summer, lot’s of people will see it - hear it. After Nov. elections and a new fresh crew in the House? They could move for a trial. It is exactly what the dems did once in control. If He committed a crime, Impeach. The Nation will be glad to be rid of the fraud
