A federal judge sentenced Tony Rezko to 10 1/2 years in prison Tuesday, describing his actions under Rod Blagojevich’s tenure as “selfish and corrupt.”
Rezko has already served about 44 months. His daughter burst into tears at hearing the sentence.
U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve said she found it offensive that Rezko put at risk the Teachers’ Retirement System by scheming for kickbacks with a board member in 2004.
“You put their retirements at risk for your own greed and your own thirst for power,” St. Eve said.
A pale, thin Rezko gave a brief statement before he learned his sentence, saying “there are no words to describe the pain and regret,” he carries and the amount of suffering his family has endured. He apologized to the court and to his family.
Assistant U.S. Attorney Chris Niewoehner said Rezko’s conduct was severe and included scheming with former Gov. Rod Blagojevich and others to control state deals so they could make money off of it.
“That’s about as bad as it can get in a political corruption case,” he said. “Illinois was for sale at the very top levels of our government.” Rezko’s attorney, Joseph Duffy, said his client would never commit a crime again.
Rezko grew clearly agitated as Niewoehner said Rezko overstated poor conditions in county jail. Niewoehner said Rezko got sunlight -- through skylights.
The dems are merely useful idiots. Fodder to be used up and thrown away. If anyone has any doubt as to how they work they need to listen to this video. It is an interview with an ex KGB,Yuri Bezmenov done in 1985. It is an absolute must to listen to. Please everyone listen to this and learn how the communist actually work. In it you will learn how the communist actually deal with useful idiots after they are done with them. I would love to hear input by those who listen to it. It is tremendously educational!

Chills ....
did you watch part 2?
This is all theatrics,Rezco is a distraction and always was.
I didn’t ... didn’t know there was one.
Will go back. Thanks.
I really, really hope you forgot your sarcasm tag.
Because Rezko is the slime at the bottom of Obama's garbage.
That's WHY he's being kept locked up - for safekeeping.
10 1/2 years = 126 months.
Why isn’t the great O in an adjoining cell for accepting a bribe. The Chicago real estate deal where Rezko’s wife purchased the adjoining property to the Obama purchase (in order to make up the balance of the discount the vendor was giving to Obama), was an even more obvious scam than Whitewater was for the Clintons. Obama got a free pass because the MSM is corrupt (and I don’t mean just biased). Democrat politicians get away with corruption which would hang the average citizen, because the media want them to succeed at all costs.
Well! according to Larry Sinclair, he was being cajolled by
by Mister Young, the Director of the Trinity Church Choir to backoff because Mr. Young had a long term Homosexual still ongoing that Rev. Wright was trying to stop and/or laundry when Choir Director Young was MURDERED!! When it first happened, he was declared a “Suiside!” until the evidence was so overwelming that the corrupt Chicago Coroner
finally backed off and declared the Obvious! But the Chicago Cops still haven’t a lead on this obvious Hate Crimes Assasination of Obama HUSSEIN’s GAY LOVER!!
Resko kept his mouth shut, he’ll get his presidential pardon.
His life and his family can be threatened.
I’m betting Tony will only bend over for so long before he starts singing like a canary. Then he’ll get a prison illness like Jim McDougal.
He is just a guy from the neighborhood whose kids went to the same school as the Obamanettes and they like used to wave at each other in the street or honk as they drove by. Rezko? Real Estate guy? Right?
The next thing you know, you people will try to link our leader to someone like Bill Ayers. Or Van Jones. Listen. Read "Dreams of My Father." Could the man in that autobiographical book of unvarnished and modest fact do anything but good for our country?
You fellows wouldn't be racists, would you?
