Political fund-raiser Tony Rezko, whose corruption trial has been making headlines for weeks, has a new legal headache:
A son of Nation of Islam founder Elijah Muhammad is suing Rezko and the chief urologist at Cook County's Stroger Hospital, claiming the two of them bilked him out of his South Side mansion.
Jabir Muhammad -- a former close friend and business associate of Rezko's -- and Muhammad's wife, Antonia, filed suit Friday in Cook County Circuit Court against Rezko and Dr. Paul S. Ray.
The lawsuit comes about nine months after a Chicago Sun-Times story in which Muhammad first publicly claimed that Rezko "embezzled" him out of his mansion and seven other properties. At the time, Rezko called the allegation baseless and "extremely hurtful ... as I have given [Muhammad] and his family millions of dollars over the years."
The Muhammad suit involves only the mansion, in the 1100 block of East 49th Street. The Muhammads say Rezko persuaded them to put the home into a land trust when Jabir Muhammad was extremely ill in the 1990s. They say they had no idea Rezko intended to seize it from them.
Rezko's lawyers have produced a real estate contract that shows the Muhammads sold the mansion and three adjacent lots to Rezko in 1993 for $519,000. Under their contract with Rezko, the Muhammads were to leave the house by Dec. 31, 1995, but they still live there.
Ray now has clear title to Muhammad's house.
I’m sure Hillary smiled after hearing this and is biding her time waiting for the next suit to name OBama.
Wow! Everywhere you look these days you see BOTH of the ‘Rat candidates tied to Islam...in some cases by a ROPE versus a thread!
Coincidence? I think not. Will it gain any traction? Nope. Not with the “dumbed down to the level of a box of rocks” ‘Rat Electorate!
Heaven only knows what crooked dealings really went on here. Rezko smells to high heaven.
And I detect a well-hidden rotting stench from Hussein Obama beneath the flowery layers of fake media perfume.

I suppose if Democrat Jews stick to their mental ghetto in the Democrat party, they'll be left alone.
They will have to go to the local caliph and submit to arbitration. In this case the clear favorite to preside is of course caliph Barack McGovern Obama.
OK, Obama’s minister gives Farrakhan an award.
The son of the founder of Farrakhan’s church is defrauded by Rezko.
Rezko is a top fund raiser for Obama and helps Obama buy a very expensive house.
Why do I get the feeling that when Obama supporters gather together they all keep their backs to the wall?
Those that don't usually fall to the floor as they faint.
I’m looking at the photo. Which of those old homes is supposed to be a mansion?
