Since arresting Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has renewed interest in convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko's part in the purchase of Barack Obama's Chicago mansion, according to a former real estate analyst who says he was interviewed by the federal prosecutor in the past 10 days.
Kenneth J. Conner told WND he was interviewed by investigators from Fitzgerald's office regarding the purchase of the Obama mansion and the adjacent vacant lot that Rezko's wife, Rita, purchased simultaneously. As WND reported last week, Connor filed a civil complaint in October with the Illinois Circuit Court in Cook County alleging he was fired by Mutual Bank of Harvey, Ill., because he objected to land appraisals submitted on behalf of the Rezkos and the Obamas, with the complicity of the bank.

puleeeze!
mess up big time obamao.
Hmmm... Clintons behind this...?
This is where the Chickens are Roosting. The Blago investigation was from Rezko not buying a seat.
Pray for W, America and Our Troops
Biden.
And I always thought him a goof.
Before proclaiming his innocence with various excuses, Obambi might want to consider the history of the author of this piece. Offhand, I’d say Obambi suddenly finds himself in deep kim chee!
We all know the Clinton's know how to hide scandal, they are probably as skilled in digging up scandal. If it is the Clinton's we will have a busy year ahead.
Obama will probably fire all the US attorneys and get rid of Fitzgerald...
The Obamunist will fire Fitzgerald. He isn’t about to allow any investigations of himself. Fitzgerald will be on the outside wondering what hit him very soon.
It will be on the page of the major news papers.

Rezko, Obama, State Treasurer all tied together?
back page, that is
Bill Clinton did that very thing on his first day in office. All of the Reagan/Bush US attorneys were out that day. W. Bush, on the other hand, left in a pipe of Clinton US Attorneys and Cheney got bit in the *ss.
Just shows how hopelessly naive the GOP is politically. Born to lose!
How can Fitzgerald cover for Obamanazi on this one?
It can’t just be a disgruntled worker since there was another person who did an appraisal, too.
Actually, Fitz may be building some job security. He keeps his job or the O gets indicted January 19th!
Cheaper than buying a Senate seat these days!
It is sad........
You know times are tough when Freepers' only hope is the Clintons!!!
I never thought this would be this much fun after the election....I will have to go to Sam’s club to stock up on popcorn, cause we are going to have quite a season, the season premier has just started.
this is as good almost as “24”!
Fitzgerald better hurry. There isn’t much time left. What we need is a fog of scandal over Obama on Inauguration Day so that there is a taint of stain over him that the media will be forced to comment on, instead of their predicted waxing eloquent.
Why fire him when he can promote him instead? If Holder craters or a seat on SCOTUS opens up Fitz could go to the head of the line.
Wow! I did not think this was even remotely possible. Was under the impression that Fitzgerald was carrying water for Obama by ruling him safe re: Blago.
But this changes that picture. And the media may be forced now to report these facts after all. It’s going to make them sick to do it too.
You can see how they are physcially repulsed being compelled to even discuss Obama/Blago’s corrupt home base. They sound like a bunch of whiny children complaining they can’t have their way then looking for the content of the unknown corrupt variables.
Maybe Fitzgerald got angered by the Trib’s blowing out the story before he could complete the sting.
About damn time.
The problem is this information is already out there. If he doesn’t do anything...then it will certainly look like he is covering for Obama...
Maybe rezko will say it was all his doing and Obamanazi knew nothing about it..
Baloney,
The only guy Fitz cares about is himself. He may have already blown this investigation by his big mouth.
And by the way why would any investigator ever ask for information to be delayed by a WEEK? Would not want more info now rather than later? Maybe it is in the bury it in Christmas spirit.
Do pigeons poop on statues?
‘Hmmm... Clintons behind this...?”
If the Clintons had something on him they would have released it before the election.
Yes, THAT Patricia F*****g Blagojevich.
The Swimmer, maybe?!
Biden ran out and got himself a pup. That makes Biden’s dog the “First Dog,” in at least one if not more ways than one. Why do you suppose old Joe went and did that?
Here’s some background to this story with some great documentation:

We can only pray and hope. However, I think the media and the Dems will circle the wagons and protect the lord most high Obama. It is a fast deadly bullet but Obama will dodge it with the help of his friends. Pray for America.

Fitz held up the investigation so as not to hurt Obama’s chances, and now is cooperating with Obama to quietly release Obama’s info during Christmas when no one is watching.
It MAY be a way to keep people from collaborating on their versions of the truth. Or Craig (Obama’s lawyer) is lying, OR it’s to hide it in Christmas week.
How long before Fitzgerald sleeps with the fishes?
Jan 20, 2009, Obama gets a call. Federal agents are outside of Blair house, ready to arrest him.
I can dream, can’t I?
Sub Prime Messiah?
Because it will eliminate any excuse for providing false statements. If pressed to disclose right away, the perps could always say they didn't have enough time to check all their records.
Fitz could also have someone inside the Obama campaign reporting on attempts to obstruct justice and as more time that passes the more likely some will conspire to lie to Fitz.
Fitz already has enough info to indict lots of people and if he is taking a closer look at the Rezko-Obama real estate deal; he's looking for info to possibly indict Obama and Blog's wife. Rezko would not sell part of his lot to Obama and render his lot unbuidable without some plan to get paid off. There is also the recent discovery that Obama doesn't even own his own house. His former boss at his law firm is the owner. Think there isn't something sleazy about that deal.
Is the popcorn ready?
Hey ‘Rats, what’s the problem? You loved it when Fitzgerald went after Scooter Libby.
If this thing goes anywhere, don’t look for a Saturday night massacre,look for the technique which Clinton perfected and that is:
‘Dumbing down’ his misdeeds. MSM will start reporting on the legal shadiness of myriad presidents and prime ministers, EVEN the great ones. Jefferson will have gotten a cozy deal from John Adams, FDR will have subverted the law because that’s what you have to do sometimes as a major political figure, blah, blah...
The deal was worth a LOT more than $125,000 “benefit” from the Rezkos to the Obamas — first the Obamas saved $300,000 off the asking price, for what was an absolutely prime historic home that probably would have gone for full asking price in the market of that time....
....indeed, Michelle Obama was able to angle in on the coveted home before it was even on the market b/c she was on the Chicago Landmarks Commission and learned about the proposed sale of the house via “insider” info (the Doctor who owned the historic home had to go through the Chicago Landmarks Commission if he wished to retain its historic designation while he split off the lot next to the home to try to bring in more cash).
So the Rezko/Obama deal went through before the public at large even had much of an opportunity to compete/offer for purchase of the home/lot because Michelle Obama had obtained early “insider” info about the impending sale of the home.
Does any sane and honest person believe that anyone but Tony Rezko would have sliced off a good portion of what was already a very limited lot to benefit the Obamas with easy purchase of their own private “garden” while Rezko paid for the luxury fencing?
Don’t hold your breath.
Sounds like Mr. Conner needs a food taster and early morning car starter. .....also don’t take any flights in a single engine plane......and check the gear-box linkage before driving off so as not to suffer “sudden (and fatal) acceleration into telegraph pole.”
Fitz is looking into the Obama home AGAIN!
Thanks for the link....

Expect a Fitzmas Duet about December 22nd by the Blank-O-witches!
Remember that Michelle once had a real estate license, she would know how to work the system.
I’ve looked ... and not seen any confirmation of that,
though it wouldn’t be a surprise.
