CHICAGO -- Jailed political fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko, the Chicago real estate developer who helped launch Barack Obama on his political career, is whispering secrets to federal prosecutors about corruption in Illinois and the political fallout could be explosive.
Democratic Gov. Rod Blagojevich, whose administration faces multiple federal investigations over how it handed out jobs and money with advice from Rezko, is considered the most vulnerable.
Rezko also was friendly with Obama -- offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko's trial, there's no indication there'll be an October surprise that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee -- even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.
"I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the Statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign," says state Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Westmont, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama.
Rezko, 53, a real estate developer, was convicted in June of scheming to use his clout with the Blagojevich administration to squeeze $7 million in kickbacks out of a contractor and seven money management firms seeking to do business with the state.

“Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened,” he wrote. “They are pressuring me to tell them the wrong things that I supposedly know about Gov. Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama.”
I’ll believe it when I read it.
What do we know about: Sen. Kirk Dillard, R-Westmont, a John McCain delegate to the GOP convention but an old friend of Obama.
Nothing is going to happen to OZERO pre-election the chicago thugs will see to it. IF any damaging info leaks it will be AFTER the election.
Great....another idiot Obamanized.
He’ll never ‘spill the beans’ on Obama.
Narcissists are often callous and even ruthless. As the norm, they lack conscience. Narcissists are amoral. They consider themselves to be above the law. Once in power, they will try to strengthen their hold by surrounding themselves with equally amoral people.

.
McCain is losing this campaign because he refuses to fight Obama and his lies, and dirty tactics such as ACORN voter fraud. Hes just been rolling over (or bending over, I should say) and accepting the abuse heaped upon him- and expecially Sarah Palin.
The anemic attempts by the McCain camp to fight back within the last few days just aint gonna get it.
He should have been hitting Obama back hard months ago.
He needs to get out there every day and FIGHT BACK.
Email Republican headquarters/McCain.
FReep EM OUT!

REMIND McCAIN THAT HE HAS AN OBLIGATION AS OUR CANDIDATE TO FIGHT BACK!
To h*ll with bipartisian BS!
To h*ll with PC!
To h*ll with conducting a respectful campaignas McCain has said, and vowed to do.
RESPECTFUL CAMPAIGNING WENT STRAIGHT OUT THE WINDOW WITH OBAMAS NASTY, BRUTAL COMMENTS SUCH AS;
lipstick on a pig and You can wrap AN OLD FISH in a piece of paper called change. Its still going to stink after eight years.
Take off the gloves, McCain!
Hit the Marxist/Muslim hard with Ayers, Acorn, Violation of Logan Act, abortion, 2nd admendment, Campaigning for Odinga!!
Get off the d*mned economy issue. State that Obama/Democrats/ACORN caused this meltdown. State McCain offered a proposal to avert the meltdown and GET OFF IT.
Obama is counting on keeping this going to take the spotlight off his sordid past and dirty dealings!
NOTHING is more important than waking America up to this Marxist/Muslim!! DO IT. EXPOSE HIM!

If he does that, I can see the prosecution putting him away for 100 years.
Nothing against you for posting this BUT this has been posted MANY times on this forum. NOTHING is going to happen BEFORE this election to stop the ascension of “the messiah” to power. My wife and I were having breakfast in a restaurant today and two black ladies came right up to our table and asked about our Apple Pancake. I am so angry over this “political coup of an election” that all I could do was look down at the table. Obama told them to “get in our faces” and today they got in our faces. Now, maybe this was just a simple question but I have NEVER had this happen before nor would I go up to someones table and ask such a question. Obama supporters are already drunk with glee!
Thank you Lord Jesus :)
could be explosive,
after the election of course.
/s
>> Great....another idiot Obamanized.
Are you talking about Dillard? or McCain?
He appeared in an ad for obama.
Bottom line, don’t want the McCain campaign getting into this other than repeating the charges with Obama’s name on it when indictments hit.
Rezko may be safer from his Chicago Mob Machine friends in jail.
It’s amazing how Obama has skated on his house scam with Rezko.
Would a Republican be able to pull that off? I just don’t think so.
Sounds like a comercial in the making.
They are corrupt to the core.
Might want to read the last paragraph.
Obama’s name has not surfaced in accounts of the investigation since the trial. But Rezko himself raised it in a letter to the judge months ago.
“Your Honor, the prosecutors have been overzealous in pursuing a crime that never happened,” he wrote. “They are pressuring me to tell them the wrong things that I supposedly know about Gov. Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama.”
Probably the guy I quoted.........: )

What the heck? I hope you are a troll. If that is all that the “two black ladies” said to you, you were out of line ignoring them.
Antoin “Tony” Rezko should shut his mouth then expect a full pardon from his good buddy obamma lamma ding dong.
Cause I gots a feeling the Chicago and Illinois mob (I mean democrat party) is not going to look kindly on him spilling the beans
