Breaking Story: Prosecutor Fitzgerald Could Send Obama To Jail

The Sun Times today gave a major clue that Barack Obama will indeed go down with Tony Rezko, sooner rather than later. It looks as though Rezko is about to turn on Alexi Giannoulias, the 30-year old State Treasurer of Illinois (who was elected only because Obama backed him).

Imagine what Rezcos time in prison OR out would be like if he turned on Bambi.

He’d just as well Vince Foster himself, as opposed to the old plier and blowtorch treatment he’d experience.

How could BO not afford that house with his wife making 300k and BO’s Senator salary and book royalties? Why would he need a special favor?

Also, does endorsing an inexperienced person qualify as a crime?

Just seems to me this might be hard to prove...but who knows...

Obama can't be sent to jail after 1/20/09. It's VERY unlikely that a Grand Jury would indict, or the government prosecute, a president-elect. I would almost take the position that the government should not do so (just as I think opposite-party ex-presidents should not be indicted or prosecuted, and for the same reason).

So, as they say, time is of the essence.

I’ll believe it when I see it. The Grinch already stole Fitzmas from the DUmmies and he’s not giving it back.

Yes, need more coroboration -- sorry, don't know anything about stoptheACLU.com

That said, anyone who has info on Obama better get it out now. If he IS elected, anyone who has bad info on Obama will be wearing cement shoes

Michael Sneed in her Sun Times column 10/10/08 had the following tidbit:

Thanks for the info. The posted article seems very speculative.

The MSM wouldn't care if Obama robbed a bank and shot a child. Or bombed a building and killed a cop - or if he was friends with people who did. Or used cocaine or took bribes or anything. The MSM is BIASED.

A BIG STORY would be if the MSM could catch Sarah jay walking.

Rezko's deal said that he had to reveal all. If Obama is defeated, Obama may get nailed by Rezko. If Obama wins, Rezko gets pardoned by Obama on Jan 21 and the investigations will be ordered terminated by the new AG.

Nothing new here. Still based on a one-line “hint” in last weeks Sun Times.

if Obama wins he may get a pardon

He should get a no jail time deal if he does give up the manchurian.

My sources tell me that all will be revealed in 24 business hours.
LMAO!!! Classic.

I just hope that FReepers don't start acting like the DUmmies by prematurely popping the cork on that Fruedenschade champagne.

“you’d better put sarc on that.”

Good gravy, you’re right! I really didn’t think it was necessary but you are right. Why would anyone be impressed by my “sources”? What credibility do they have? What credibility do I have? The answer should be none.

Anyway, I figured everyone understood the origin of “24 business hours”. Sorry.

ALL:

Please reference the “imminent” indictment of Karl Rove by Pat Fitzgerald.

“Rezco needs Obama to win....if Obama wins he may get a pardon....if not??”

Consider a deal between Rezco and Hilary with a pardon.
Having watched BJ1 and BJ2 in disbelief when there was enough out there to warn us, Hilary sticks in my mind like a bad dream I can’t shake.

She would get pretty much a free ride, no debates, nothing.

Have we been played? Many are praying for O to go down.
I am just praying he loses.

Yeah I am sure it will get as much air time as Troopergate

Also is he using Zulu time or is there an offset that must be applied.

Zulu time is now racist I believe.

I imagine this news will prompt the MSM to write dozens more stories on TrooperGate.

If they can only keep the American people distracted for three more weeks, the takeover of the United States by the MSM and the RATs will be complete. Then the destruction from within can begin in earnest.
