Donald Trump knew a man he named as a senior business adviser in 2010 had been convicted in a major Mafia-linked stock fraud scheme, according to Associated Press interviews and a review of court records.

Tony Rezko, former fundraiser and friend of President Barack Obama and former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, was sentenced on Tuesday to ten and a half years in prison for corruption.
Rezko, 56, has already served about 44 months of the 126-month sentence on his 2008 conviction for corruption - including fraud, money laundering and attempting to get $7 million in kickbacks from companies seeking to win deals during Blagojevich's tenure as governor - the Chicago Sun-Times reported.

Obama also involved Rezko in a house deal after he was elected to the U.S. Senate, a move he later called "boneheaded mistake," according to a 2008 report in ABC News.
Obama wanted to purchase a home that the seller had a specific condition on: the adjacent empty lot to the house had to be purchased at the same time, ABC News reported. In the house deal, Rezko's wife paid the full asking price for that parcel, $625,000.
Obama shelled out $300,000 under the house's asking price, paying $1.65 million, according to ABC News. Obama then purchased a part of Rezko's lot for $104,500.

Hillary Clinton runs a foundation that is financed by bribes. Why don’t they worry about that?
click on the YouTube vid to find out why it's NOT GOOD to about our guy all wrong...
mkjessup & Las Vegas Ron: ;-)
Thats just it..... ..he will need someone’s vote....( a whole lot of someomes) Im more likely than most to vote for him but I am not sure at all what I will do when it gets down to it
Not elsewhere in the news, leftist bankroller George Soros paid a relatively small fine instead of doing time for insider trading, then appealed claiming the earlier conviction violated his human rights...
That is funny. Every week they say Trump is done. Chris Matthews said Trump was done months ago.
The worst you will get out of me is I won’t be there...
And Jack Kennedy slept with Sam Giancana's girlfriend and hung out with mob wannabe Frank Sinatra until he was dumped by JFK when their friendship became too obvious. And McCain was involved in the Keating scam. And Clinton pardoned Marc Rich. And Hillary takes foreign money. "At the end of the day, what difference does it make?" /sarc
I couldn’t care less whom Trump has on his team when the Resident’s strings are controlled by an evil Muslim woman, whom has allowed the Muslim Brotherhood into the CIA/State Dept, etc.
The mob never tried to kill innocent women/children...even THEY have a code of conduct they follow; unlike the ragheads
So if Trump wins the nomination I think he is going to have a hard time selling to those of us who donât buy him....
.........................................................
Then those of you who “don’t buy him” will be the defenders of the Establishment and “more of the same.’ Don’t pretend to care about America when you can’t see the forest for the trees. But then, of course, Christ had to put up with “Doubting Thomas,” “Denier Peter”, and “Traitor Judas.” Which are you when it comes to the freedom and future of America?
:)
= :^)
But you are still whining about it...
..............................................
Kinda seems one sided. Did you run out of tissues yesterday? I’m sure that if you look harrd enough you can find a “special’ on Kleenex somewhere.
Jessup doesn’t need meds. Seems to me you’re the one hallucinating!
Wait?....what?....I thought the demo/libs were against ‘checking the box’. They have been saying criminal records should not be considered in hiring decisions.
Trump hired a felon. The demo/libs should be applauding Trump for this.
a democrat media whore
...............................................
the democrat Media Whore you refer to is a highly successful business man in an incredibly difficult busibess. He has brains and know how which is alien to the political types who promise everything but deliver nothing. You are “Conservative,” my foot!
I find the selective outrage tedious, is all.
Joe Kennedy was a dirtbag, and every Kennedy was, and is, a dirtbag. They all belong in prison(s) and the two should be removed from Arlington.
There is no honor among the political class, and little difference between them and the criminal class. It has become nearly impossible to discern the difference.
When do we get Trump on the cross?
Only Christ is on the cross. You and your goons will soon find out who is the chosen one though.
