[...] According to Hot Air: The investigation’s been active for three years and his cronies have been rolling over on him for months, culminating in a former aide named John Wyma having somehow cooperated with the feds to obtain recordings of Blagojevich yakking about graft. (The Tribune, which broke the news, won’t say if he wore a wire.) Another top crony was convicted six months ago of mail fraud, among other things, but his sentencing was postponed from October to January amid rumors that he was singing to the U.S. Attorney about the Chicago machine in hopes of a better deal. You might have heard of him. [...]

[...] Ed Morrissey: Last week, defense attorneys representing figures in Illinois corruption cases tipped the media that Tony Rezko may have decided to cooperate with federal investigators. Now it appears their worst nightmare has come true. Federal prosecutors requested a delay in Rezko’s sentencing. [...]

This is starting to turn into a situation similar to the early Clinton years: The press gave Bill a total pass during the 1992 campaign (but nothing like how they are protecting Obama), and it wasnt until Clinton was safely in the WH that stories really started to break open on him and threatened his presidency.

Same scene playing out with Obama? Theres not enuff time before the election for any of this to sink into that portion of the electoral who seem totally sanguine about rolling the dice on Malcolm Urkel, who will screw this country like a $10 whore at Mardi Gras the minute he and Madame O get the keys to the kingdom.

“Rezko also raised $250,000 for Barack Obama and was his most important fundraiser during Obama’s state senate career, as well as for his US Senate race.” If the Feds don’t bring it up, why can’t the McCain/Plain camp? Another drum to beat… there’s the potential of driving Barry to distraction and get him to stutter like an idiot. We gotta bring him down!

Almost right… the headline will be “Rezko commits suicide! Found in his office with 6 gunshot wounds to the head!”

ROFL. Isn’t that the truth!

Fitzgerald could get some fame for bringing Obama down, as could the judge in Berg v Obama, but I don’t know if I’d want the name recognition if the mob and their useful idiots knew my address. I hear the Chicago police are preparing for violence however the election turns out.

Can Tony Rezko help me get a McMansion in Chicago from behind bars? With Phleger,Wright,Daley,Ayers,Dorn,Farrakhan,the New Black Panther Party, and of course Barack Hussein and Michelle, Chicago seems like a great place to live. I could probably get a job as a community organizer pretty quickly if I just tell someone I’m a communist who hates America. Seems to have worked for all the above………

[...] The Obamessiah’s felon pal, benefactor and fundraiser Tony Rezko, who was about to get his sentence shortly, may get an indefinite delay in sentencing while both sides “engage in discussions that could affect sentencing postures.” [...]

If Obama becomes President will he pardon his money pal and felon Rezko?

Maybe someone should ask him?

Nah. That is asking WAY too much of the MSM.

I imagine Rezko has said nothing, will say nothing, and is merely biding time until Osama Obama can pardon him.

Feds had better have a lot of bodyguards around Rezko. He’s a ‘dead man walking’ right now.

You guys are chasing ghosts. Like Ayers, there is nothing that Rezko will reveal that will be substantial.

You can hold onto ‘hope’ though.

Thanks. Went to your site. Interesting

I too cling to hope: hope that, for the sake of our country, people like you who base their decisions on “hope” and “feelings” will come to their senses and realize that you’re nothing but easy prey for snake-oil salesmen like Obama who sell sometimes deadly, but always worthless elixers that they promise will alleviate virtually every aliment that afflicts you.

Wake up. Take the rose-colored glasses off and take a hard look at this man who promises you miracles. Or just paint him white: Change the color of his skin and you’ll realize you’d never give him the time of day.

He offers “hope” in an empty package at Christmas.

His promise of “change” has as much substance as an empty suit fresh off the designer rack;

His expericnce is being a left-wing radical born of the corrupt Chicago political system. He could not run a fast food joint. You want to put him in charge of the Armed Forces!

God help us.

Get the facts, kid. Flim-Flam men promise the world and deliver nothing. You can either, on your own, face this fact now or be bitterly forced to face it in about 3 years.

If you do now, I’ll give you a discount on a few “Don’t Blame Me. I Voted for McCain” bumper stickers I’m getting ready to print up.

But is his singing good for Obama’s children? This is potentially good news. Now democrats have to figure, what if there’s an indictment between November 5 and January 19, 2009 against Obama (when he’s not subject to the impeachment rule but still an ordinary citizen though Pres elect). Do they really want to be in that situation, starting out, God Forbid, a potential Obama Administration like the last two years of the Clinton Administration?

Yes, but it will not happen before the election…

But it could still happen AFTER the election, and Bubba Billy proved that no one, not even a President, is above the law.

I’m still of the opinion that the seller who reduced his $1.65 million asking price to $1.35 million for Obama actually got the difference from Rezko or someone Rezko solicted. Rezko’s hands were all over that home purchase. And no one knocks that much off a asking price in a seller’s market. No way.

Personally I don’t see a down side. If he sings on Obama before or after is irrelevant. Corruption is corruption and if it’s revealed that then President Obama is a corrupt as they come, Congress will have no choice to either impeach or face a loss in 2010 that will make 1994 and 2006 seem like a picnic for the losing side.

I hope rezko watches his back, at least until after he sings. Chicago politics is pretty rotten.

Bambi on October 7, 2008 at 9:57 AM

Maybe he can have Barney Fwank watch it for him… maybe even give him a reach-around while he’s at it.
