Feds and Rezko Piecing Together Ayers, Giannoulias and Obama
The Chicago Daily Observer ^ | October 13, 2008 | Editors

Posted on 10/13/2008 9:30:04 PM PDT by PBRCat

Tony Rezko used Alexi Giannoulias bank to float $450,000 in bad checks, while campaigning for Alexi’s brother Demetris to be placed on the Illinois Finance Authority Board.

Demetris Giannoulias was on the Board at the Crossroads Fund, a Chicago Based left wing organzation supported by Bill Ayers, Bernadine Dohrn and Barack Obama, which made grants to such stellar organizations as ACORN and other affordable housing swindlers.

In 2002, Rezko borrowed $10.5 Million from Broadway Bank, the Giannoulias family bank, the same bank where Barack Obama kept his Senate campaign funds. In 2006, Sen. Obama endorsed Alexi Giannoulias for Illinois State Treasurer, and gives Sec. Giannoulias a slot to speak at the Democratic National Convention.

Glad to see all these upstanding folks able to work so well together, too bad that Rezko doesn’t want to serve time, and holds quite a bit of information about the Chicago Political Establishment that may be interesting to the Feds.

No, the Establishment media is as corrupt as the congress. They are in the echo chamber and their own corruption has destroyed what integrity they once had.

Pray for W, McCuda and Our Troops

Hmmmm....money laudering. Are the PUMAS thinking some of that money went into Obama’s campaign or Obama campaign money was used to cover the check, so to speak?

Hmmmm. I wonder if McCain is going easy on Wright, etc., and not going for the jugular in numerous other ways . . . because he knows about something that’s due to break soon.

I’ll believe it when I see it.

My thoughts exactly. The first line of the article on the link says:

Boiling down a complex blog entry by P.U.M.A. pundit,

No additional news hear, simple speculation.

I hope he's in protective custody.

It’s too late to make a difference. The fix is already in.

And even if it did, it would be "welcome President Biden."

I'll take Biden over Obama any day. Obama craves the use of power, Biden is a lovable buffoon. More concerning is the VP serving under Biden.

“I keep telling myself to never underestimate the power of ego. There could be someone out there, regardless of party who wants there name in the history books as the one who brought Obama down.”

Maybe its a good thing Fitz is on this. I think he has the ego to do it. At least, I hope so.
