Thanks to Team Obama’s Reckless ‘Felon’ Accusations, Tony Rezko Issue NOW IN PLAY

How ’bout a little refresher re. Obama political Godfather
and actual (16-count!) convicted felon Tony Rezko…

The Syrian-born Rezko is an infamous Chicago slumlord, fast-food restauranteur, and sleazy political operator who played a key role in the Blagojevich case- as well as the unlikley ascension to power of Barrack Hussein Obama. 

Obama’s longtime ally, friend, and top fundraiser was found guilty in 16/24 counts of felony influence peddling back in June 2008. Of course the story was mostly buried/detached from his bud Barry in the run-up to that year’s most unfortunate (for us) presidential election whilst the jury convicted Rezko of wire and mail fraud, money laundering and aiding and abetting bribery
(he was acquitted of attempted extortion).

Prosecutors said Rezko squeezed various Illinois companies for some $7 million in kickbacks. In the dramatic trial, former state official Ali Ata told jurors he bought his post with bribes to Rezko and campaign contributions to Blagojevich. Ata was also one of several witnesses who said Rezko talked of a plot to kill the criminal probe against him by pulling strings with the
White House to get U.S. Atty. Patrick Fitzgerald fired.
