This does nothing but benefit the Republican candidate. It makes the Clintons look like the scum that they are and it ties B.H.O to some shady finance deals with Arab/Syrian whatever with ties in the middle east...oh my this is going to fun to watch them tear each other apart.

Pass the popcorn please...

Transcript of Billary’s call to Rezko:

“Hey Tony, roll over on your pal Obama and we’ll make this all go away.”

Better to be in fed custody than out there at the mercy of the psychopathic Clintons.

That’s another point, how is Rezko guilty without a fair trial? Has Clinton convicted him of a crime before a jury?

Also, Bill Clinton = Juan Peron.

Rush just called him Bull Clinton, a la Bull Conner, for his comments in South Carolina last weekend, which have divided the dem party by racial lines.

Was this done by the Bush Justice Department or the Clinton Justice Department?

Judicial Watch Announces List of Washington’s “Ten Most Wanted Corrupt Politicians”

8. Senator Barack Obama (D-IL): A “Dishonorable Mention” last year, Senator Obama moves onto the “ten most wanted” list in 2007. In 2006, it was discovered that Obama was involved in a suspicious real estate deal with an indicted political fundraiser, Antoin “Tony” Rezko. In 2007, more reports surfaced of deeper and suspicious business and political connections It was reported that just two months after he joined the Senate, Obama purchased $50,000 worth of stock in speculative companies whose major investors were his biggest campaign contributors. One of the companies was a biotech concern that benefited from legislation Obama pushed just two weeks after the senator purchased $5,000 of the company’s shares. Obama was also nabbed conducting campaign business in his Senate office, a violation of federal law.
Indicted Obama fundraiser Rezko arrested

The FBI says Rezko was arrested at his Illinois home by federal agents. The U.S. Attorney's office and an FBI agent has confirmed the real estate developer and fast food magnate's arrest, but would not discuss the reasoning behind the government's bail revocation motion.

A hearing is scheduled for later today.

Keep in mind Bush never fired all the US attorneys as Clinton did.

So the original statement that...

> Obama bought the Rezko property for $104,500 —
> $520,500 less than Rezko’s wife paid for it.

...is not true. He bought a strip of it for that price, and we can’t tell how much of a discount that amounts to (if any) without knowing more about the relative sizes etc.

A rogue operation by Clinton operatives in the Justice Department?

Indicted Obama Fundraiser Rezko Arrested

After his arrest, Rezko sat reading at a defense table in U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve's courtroom, watched by two FBI agents who refused to comment. The agents said reporters could not speak with Rezko because he was "in custody."

The court was then closed to reporters until an afternoon hearing in the case.

Rezko's attorney, Joseph Duffy, did not immediately respond to a call to his office seeking comment.
