Through its latest witness, prosecutors are following the money trail from Tony Rezko to pay for contractors who worked on a major Blagojevich home renovation.

Prosecution witness Robert Williams, Rezmar Chief Financial Office, read off the list of contractors who did work on the Blagojevich family's Ravenswood Manor home.

Hey, what are friends for anyway?

[whitedog57]

All of this doesn’t matter. Obama and his friends are above the law. This IS like the old Soviet Union. Pure corruption.

Rezko = Obama, -but how to prove it?

Rezko needs to sing.

[Nachum]

Shades of McDougal. Rezko might sing in jail, but then he suffers a “heart attack” before he can testify.

Funny how it’s the same names cropping up every time.

[presently no screen name]

Is Rezko in jail now?

[JohnBrowdie]

that salvo landed pretty close to the obamas. chicago is such a sewer. how the voters thought that the second coming of goodness, purity, and light could come from that fever pit of corruption is utterly beyond me.

Rezko needs to sing.

Get some dirt on him. Write him a song he can't refuse. :-)

Sounds like Patti might be checking in to Club Fed along with the crook with the raccoon on his head.

If we get a Republican majority in the House after November, I’m betting Darryl Issa will have a lot of fun investigating the Chicago mob.
And if the Dems figure Baraq is a lost cause and are desperately seeking Hillary for 2012, it could be even more fun.

[Nachum]

I don’t think so.

Yes. The prosecutor asked that sentencing be delayed indefinitely in January and tho convicted of 16 of 24 charges, he remains in legal limbo as all the trials cycle, here's to him sharing a cell with Blago, or if we're lucky, Obama.

Lucy add anything you find to the Chicago thread. Just trying to keep all the information in one place. There is so much it's over whelming.

One day I'll get around to making an index.

Robert Williams, former chief financial officer of Rezko’s Rezmar company said
she was paid $12,000 a month and it was recorded in Rezmar books as consulting.

Prosecutor Carrie Hamilton asked if Williams was aware of any consulting work Patti Blagojevich did.

Williams: “I was not.”

Williams is testifying under a grant of immunity.
