Obama fundraiser, facing a long fraud sentence, spills the beans about Illinois corruption

(CHICAGO) Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicagoreal estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive.


Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable.


Rezko also was friendly with Obama — offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee — even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.....

There was evidence that Keating corrupted McNasty, and in return McKeating went to great lengths to keep regulators off Keating's case.

Is there any evidence that HUSSEIN was influenced to act on Rezko's behalf as quid pro quo for Rezko's patronage?

I've got to feel that, if there was actually something substantial there, Hillary's or Rove's people would have found it, or gotten it out of someone by now. McCain's in a tough position - use this on the campaign trail, and make it look like he's ignoring an ever-deepening crisis, or...well, what's the alternative when you're losing this badly on the biggest issue?

I'll bet if he does talk, it will show illegal dealing with Obama as well.

Obama simply runs with too many corrupt people not to be himself.
