CORROBORATED: Rezko Speaks, Prosecutors Interested in Obama Listen

We warned readers of No Quarter of the problems convicted slumlord and political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko would create for Obama during the final stretch of the Presidential campaign, and now we have confirmation. I quote the Associated Press:
CHICAGO (AP) — Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko indefinitely.
The motion filed Monday afternoon signals the key fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Sen. Barack Obama and other Illinois Domocrats may be telling prosecutors what he knows about corruption in state government.
It asks U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve to delay the sentencing “while the parties engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures.” The language is all but an acknowledgment that Rezko is talking.
Rezko was convicted of launching a $7 million scheme to use his clout with Blagojevich’s administration to pressure a contractor and firms wanting to do business with the state for kickbacks.
And yes, Obama was involved in Illinois state government in 2003 through 2005, the time during which Rezko was defrauding the Illinois State Teachers’ Pension fund and bankrolling certain politicians. I quote what I wrote in my last essay on this subject:
2005 is the year Rezko helped Obama purchase the mansion in the Kenwood neighborhood in inner city Chicago. And 2003 is the year Rezko held a fundraiser for US Senate candidate Barack Obama at his posh home in Wilmette, Illinois. Another event of significance in 2003 is Illinois Governor Blagojevich’s appointment of Rezko to the Board that oversees the $30 billlion dollar teachers’ pension fund. This is the same year during which Barack Obama was appointed to the Illinois state Senate Committee on Pensions and Investments by his friend and mentor state Senator Emil Jones. According to the Superseding Indictment filed by Fitzgerald in December 2006, Obama’s appointment to this state Senate committee coincided with Rezko’s attempts to leverage his influence with “high-ranking State of Illinois officials” to oppose a pension consolidation plan that would complicate the efforts of Rezko and Levine to defraud investment firms and the pensions funds of Illinois. Notice also how Obama sat on the state Senate Pensions and Investments Board when Rezko funneled money he defrauded from an investment firm that sought access to the Illinois pensions fund to Obama through Joseph Aramanda, whose son worked as an intern in Obama’s US Senate office in 2005, the year Rezko advised and assisted the Obamas when they purchased the Kenwood mansion they could not afford.
I guess there will be surprises in October. And Obama thought Ayers was his only problem. Let us reintroduce the electorate to Antoin “Tony” Rezko.

Jerome Corsi Detained in Kenya! This Morning
http://www.red-alerts.com/un-american-activities/jerome-corsi-detained-in-kenya/
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,433701,00.html
This is a perfect time to bring up Obama’s cousin Odinga- show everybody the burn christian churches and the connections to Obama.
Listening ….Mccain’s camp?
This story should be all over the media- showing that Obama’s country has turned into radical behavior. Also have Bush threaten them with taken their food and support from us, and they will definitely release him. I wouldn’t doubt it that Obama’s camp has something to do with this. LOOK AT WHAT HAPPENS TO PEOPLE WHO DISGREE WITH OBAMA’S NOMINATION! SOCIALIST AT IT’S BEST!
NPR…MENTIONED IT…TIED IT TO OBAMA’S CAMPAIGN ADDING TO ETHNIC TENSIONS FROM ODINGA ELECTION LOSS…
Anyway you cut it….Looks Bad for Barky
GO GOP GO!…
( NEVER THOUGHT I’D BE CHEERING THE GOP…LOL )
mccain should bring this up in the debate. confront barky and say sir let corsi go. have you and your cousin no shame.
umm how do you have “ethinic tensions” in that region? That is a vastly WRONG adjective to describe the situation. A more likely one would be tribal warfare. They are all of the same “ethnic” background. That would be like saying that the north and southern french people were having “ethnic” problems over whom should be president. Give me a break.
Obambi already has his brownshirts rewriting the family tree to throw Odinga under the bus and say they are not even related.
The sad part is that any documentation that Corsi got in Kenya has now been destroyed and will never see the light of day. And anyone who gave him a personal interview is probably dead or in a secret prison where they will never be heard from again.
I was listenimg to WPGB (Hannity’s station) 104.7 in Pittsburgh this morning when Corsi called in from Kenya. They asked him if there was anyone he wanted them to get in touch with, He said to call Obama and ask why he is detained. He also said to spread this all around the country.
When U. S. citizens are detained in foreign countries Embassy staff should investigate and get Corsi released or else we have to look at that nation as unfriendly for not cooperating with our government. And if Kenya is a member of the Commonwealth, the British could intercede also.
What U. S. citizen wants a president with personal ties to unfriendly nations who won’t assist a U. S. citizen in trouble with its government? Especially a president who actually went there and participated in a Kenyan election by campaigning for one of the candidates!
Exactly I thought of the British goverment and if this is on BBC news we have to hope the British will step in!!!
Truthteller good post : Keep up the good work.
Off to work at The McCain/Palin office.
Keep the light burning everyone.
Lets make sure the USA have the maverick in office Nov 4th.
Wow.
Triple WOW…Great Truthteller….NQ ROCKS!….SING TONY SING….

Q: What do you get when you cross 39% Democrats with 30% Republicans and 25% Independents living in a Democratic district?
A: An increase in the Polls for Obama.
Q: What do you get when you cross 45% Democrats with 31% Republicans and 24% Independents?
A: An even larger increase in the Polls for Obama.
Moral of the story: McCain is not loosing and he MSM wants you to think Obama is winning.

I’ve thought this all along. The weighting of polls is going to affect the outcome (DUH). The msm thinks we’re all idiots.
Anyway..more on Obama

I really think this guy is going down..BIG TIME.
For being so smart, he never knows anything about anything.

Nice work PUMAs!
Only a 3 point lead, which Talkleft calls a widening, unbeatable lead. Tsk, tsk.
talk left is now a joke.
the ‘pull my finger’ variety.
Of this way they can cheat in the GE more comfortably :/
Who are these women who are so scared about the economy they are voting for Obama. Obama is winning people who make less than 50,000 now?
Tony, let me grab your shoulder to throw you under the bus…Oh your suit is velcro, heh damn its funny how things stick..
I read about this yesterday. However I am not really convinced that the current government wants to go after Obama. I believe Bush and Obama are being backed by the same people. So it would not make sense if they would try to take Obama down. This could only be true if the prosecutors are doing this on their own.
I believe this as well. Obama is the nail in the coffin.
They are probably waiting for sentencing til Obama is president and he can pardon him.
This is one of the most corrupt regimes in American history.
I have a hard time seeing Patrick Fitzgerald as a political player. He has seemed evenhanded in his targets, yet the timing of this is suspicious. On the other hand maybe Tony has held out and is just now signalling that he is willing to deal.
I still think that Obama’s house deal looks a lot like the deal that Ted Stevens had with the work on his house and that got Stevens indicted. Obama clearly got a gift worth more than $50 from the Rezkos. Stevens is not accused of doing favors for the guy who did all that free work on his house (too hard to prove) just of taking the valuable favor. So why hasn’t this same issue been raised against Obama? Could someone explain the difference? If there is one I assume it is a technical one…..
Good point
BTW, when Obama bought his house in 2005 that was in the height of “bidding wars” on houses. I know because that was the year we bought our house. Most houses sold for at least the asking price, many over asking price, so how else could he get $300K knocked off the price except with the help of Rezko?
Recall that, when first asked, BO claimed Rezko was someone for whom he did 4 or 5 hours worth of work, through the law firm. That is, the 2 men were not friends but rather, business acquaintances. When he admitted some time later that Rezko had performed a “walk-through” before he purchased his mansion, on account of his real estate acumen, my first question was, did Rezko charge for his appraisal services? If not, they were friends.
But, in light of what is happening to Senator Stevens, now I am wondering, if not, are walk-through services worth more than $50?
The first thought I had was that they will try(and may succeed) to delay all of this until after Nov.4.
Same prosecutor who went after Bush’s boys. I have great hope in this ….. I just hope that it doesn’t come after the election. President Biden doesn’t give me any comfort at all …..
The prosecutor has never lost a case.
He put our last governor in prison.
Thanks to the influence by the Chicago Daley Machine (60 years), something like 4 out of 7 of the last Illinois governors have either been convicted or tied to corruption.
I worked for one Chicago governor, Thompson. While I liked him personally, I honestly never trusted him, but he was never tied to an corruption (that I can recall).
The ONLY governor I can recall in my lifetime that I or anyone I know has ever had confidence in was Jim Edgar, who is from downstate (Charleston). If he hadn’t have had heart problems, he would have been a good candidate for President.
I hope I live long enough to see Daley and has gang of thugs banished from Chicago and Illinois.
Hmmmm…If Barky’s selection is illegl…I think Biden will be too…Berg says a constitutional crisis is at hand especially if DNC conspired to perpetuate a fraud…Really don’t think GOP is gonna let Biden or Pelosi in the WH….SCOTUS is stacked in McCain’s favor?
I’m not sure where Fitzgerald stands politically on this one…is he pro-Obama? If so, this will be delayed.
“The haves - and the have-mores. Some call you the elite. I call you my base.” - W. Dubya Bush
Glad to see others share my opinion. Obama is the corporate candidate this time around.
Which is why, just as with Bush, the corporate controlled media is spinning full time to try to get Obama elected.
Tick,Tock,Tick,Tock.
So after the election Rezko may or may not talk. My guess is that he doesn’t want to spend the rest of his life in prison — and if there is a way out . . . .
And then again he might be running out the clock.
It’s obvious that Obama-Soetoro wouldn’t have gotten as far and as fast as he did if he had not been playing the Chicago way. He has too many shady friends who just want to “help” him.
They are trying to turn Washington into Chicago. I guess that is really not that hard to do. All the ground work has already been done.
>>>>He has too many shady friends who just want to “help” him.
and unlike other nominees, Obama had NO LONGTIME FRIENDS who “could” appear at the convention to speak on his behalf.
btw - P Diddy scares me.
;>
Jerome Corsi who wrote the book “Obamation” has been held in Kenya on trump up immigration charges. Lets hope he get out of there quickly.
WHAT IN THE HELL DID HE GO TO KENYA FOR?? THAT IS INSANE
Probably to do the job of investigative reporting that the MSM has willfully neglected. His book paints a frightening portrait. Let’s hope he gets out of there intact.
He must have stuck out like a sore thumb.
He’s trying to get dirt on Obama. He may be a Kenyan citizen. Possibly born there
Where are they holding him…Barky’s grandma’s Hut?
THIS IS THE LEAD ON FOXNEWS.COM
There is also an article about busing homeless to vote. FOX HAS TAKEN THE GLOVES OFF, TOO.
Corsi was promoting his book at the hotel…Good timing for Corsi
Corsi went to Kenya to do research on Obama’s ties to Odinga and his particpation in Kenyan politics. He had a news conference scheduled at a hotel to announce his findings, but was arrested by Kenyan immigration officials and hustled to a car as soon as he walked into the hotel for his news conference. Kenyan officials say that the immigration arrest was for not having authorization to work, but Corsi wasn’t there for emplopyment, and he claims that all of his immigration paperwork was in perfect order, and that he had even met with senior Kenyan government officials during his stay. Obama is also trying to get the Pennsylvania court to delay discovery in the birth records case. Why delay discovery when the person bringing the case has said that he would gladly dismiss the case if certified birth records are produced ? McCains statement in New Mexico yesterday was sooooo overdue and very welcome. Damn, its long past time for the gloves to come off, and I’m glad that McCain actually called him a liar (yes, he did use that word!)
Corsi went to Kenya at the request of a Christian mission to work with their people there in investigating and reporting on the Islamic rising there. He was scheduled to send daily reports on the atrocities perpetrated on the christians by the muslims. The burning of churches, etc.
He was arrested by the Kenyan police before he could have any meetings or transmit any broadcasts.
Does anybody see the similarity in this and the arrest of Larry Sinclair? Larry’s arrest was at the behest of Joe Biden’s son who was then the Attorney General of Delaware. Corsi’s arrest ????
Odinga is a cousin of Obama and the leader of the muslim group. Odinga is the person for whom Obama campaigned in Kenya in violation of the Logan Act.
This is scary people. We should all contact our government and insist that they rescue Jerome Corsi.
Elect Obama and his civilian police force will be coming after us next.
In other news, the Troopergate preliminary report comes out on Friday.
Feel free to let me know which ticking time bomb you prefer.
I regret to say they both sound incredibly lame to me.
Thought Barky and Obiden supported legislation for domestic abuse victims? Saying they support the abusers, are you?
Troopergate is so ridiculous. You have Obama hanging around with and doing dirty dealings with thugs who commit fraud and launder money, and terrorists who hate america. Then you have Palin who has scum fired for insubordination and who beat his wife, and wishes for another thug who tasered her nephew and threatened the life of her family would be taken off the streets. NO BRAINER! Get the criminal/America hater (Obama) off the ballot.
Gov. Palin’s former brother-in-law apparently had some real “issues” with women, and some of his 4 ex-wives are talking about them.
You are comparing a firecracker to a missle strike. They both go ‘boom’ but there is a exponential difference in magnitude.
Please ask yourself — If you were an employer and one of your employees threatened to kill your father and actually tasered your sister’s 10-year-old son, WOULD YOU FIRE HIM? Would you demand that your department head fire him?
Good Lord, this issue is a WINNER for Sarah Palin. Had she NOT tried to protect her family people would wonder what kind of a person she is. Threatening the life of a member of the first family (Palin’s father) is enough of a reason to immediately fire that trooper.
As now-Libertarian Mike Gravel (former Democratic Presidential candidate from Alaska in this year’s primary) told some left wing radio talk show people, “That trooper should’ve been fired years ago!”
I thought she said he was inappropriate for his job (insubordination over requestion budget items she had cut), but she didn’t fire him, rather offered him another position (same pay, etc.) an he QUIT.
If this and Keating 5 is all they’ve got, they haven’t got much.
Not only that, the lousy cop DRANK (booze) while on duty! Yeah, I want a cop who tased (sp?) his young step-child and who drinks on duty; that’s the kind of cop I want cruising around in my town - yeah, boy!
There is nothing to Troopergate. I continue to be amused and bemused at the Dem reaction to Palin.
We know it as Tasergate. Or perhaps, wife beating gate…or maybe threaten the Governor’s family gate.
Bring it on…
I want to see those good ole boys get the shame they so richly deserve.
TUmbyJ…great tactic…LOL…Stand up for the Asshole that tazers his own son…Aaaaand the cop who drinks on the job….LOL…BARKY HANDS COPS AND FIREMEN IN AMERICA…TO MCCAIN…
I believe that a lot will come to light if Rezko is talking. I just don’t believe that the media will cover it and I don’t believe the Obamacrats will care.
Nothing that he does will change minds so deep in denial and longing for the Obamamessiah to come save them.
Hard core Oborgs won’t care cause nothing can bring down their dear leader. However, there are plenty of real people with real concerns and these people will finally see the connection. Before this, there has been no tangible connection. Could his Teflon have been scratched?
This unfortunately is true. There are those out there, die hard Democrats, who so hate Bush that they assume EVERY Republican is Bush. They will vote for Obama anyway.
They do not realize that Obama is Bush3.
I honestly believe O could eat Al Gore’s heart on National Television while boiling puppies and Nancy Pelosi would just get on camera and say “Well, at least he’s getting his protein” — and the media would concur.
It confounds me how much dirt, facts, mind you, they can hear about Obama and excuse him. No other politician would ever get a pass on all of this.
That being said, I have encountered a few who have had a “that’s the last straw” moment and decided not to vote for him. Others however, put their hands over their ears and start singing lalalalalalalalala.
Exactly! Obama has purposely cast himself as a “savior” and the most honest politican evah.
All the others are bad, only St. Obama is good.
He’s even saying that McCain is trying to tear down his campaign. {gasp!} Oh no! Horrors! This can’t happen to THE ONE. McCain is supposed to let Obama lie and distort the facts the way he did all through the primary when he was tearing down Hillary - and the Dem leadership left the Clintons to defend themselves on their own.
Obama is a con!
October surprise, That is not the Tony Rezkp I knew, lol
Off topic, but this is important.
Jerome Corsi who wrote the book called The Obama Nation went to Kenya recently to dig into more about Obama.
He is now being held by Kenyan immigration officials.
I wonder if he will be released before or after the elections.
http://www.foxnews.com/story/0,2933,433701,00.html
Well, THAT doesn’t sound suspicious at all! Geez, America…wake up!
That is really scary:
I am sure Corsi very badly would like to have Ayers phone number and a dime to make a collect call. I guess Rev. Jeremiah Wright number would be listed.
Corsi: Rev. can you help me get out of prison here in Kenya?
Hey, didn’t we see this picture before. Does anyone recall Larry Sinclair arrest after his NPC appearance. Does this tactic ring a bell. OMG, people wake up, SOetor-Obama, AKA Robert Mugabe tug political tactics…Can we say Missouri legal officials, who threaten to charge people who reveal the truth regarding the phoney messiah?
thug
Kenya will release Corsi AFTER Nov 4.
I’m sure Corsi very badly wanted to be a Kenyan illegal alien!
http://mediamatters.org/items/200408060010
This is only the beginning. No fly list and no fly zone can take more than one meaning.
FISA is a funny thing. Once Obama takes a hold of it we will understand very well the other meanings of it.
Perry -
You keep repeating the same stupid shit that you attribute out of context to Corsi allegedly from a blog.
What does it have to do with his being detained in Kenya? Why repeat it?
Oblowme and his minions say far worse things including telling HRC to f*ck off.
perry get your sorry ass off this blog. when a man is being held illegally and in possible danger,your smartass mouth is not needed or wanted. get lost!@
Perry is so blinded by republican HATE that he sounds like a FASCIST!..PERRY YOU ARE XACTLY WHAT THE DEFINITION OF LIBERALFASCISM IS!
YOU SIR!…NEED THERAPY…Sheeeesh!
Perry…you just don’t get it!…Barky’s cuzin is holding an American who wrote an Anti-Obama Book…it does not matter what Corsi says…sheeeesh!
BRILLIANT TACTIC…CORSI…LOOKS BAD FOR BARKY…
ODINGA TIED TO BARRY IN THE NEWS…every time this is mentioned another O-BOT’s head spins….
