Rezko Ready to Sing?

Saturday, October 11, 2008

The Sun-Times is hinting toward the possibility that former Chicago slum lord, convicted felon and political ally of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich (D-Chicago) and Senator Barack Obama (D-Chicago) Tony Rezko may finally be ready to tell federal prosecutors what he knows about the dirty inner workings of the Chicago Machine.

At this point, all we have to go on is speculation, since no announcement has been made by the Feds. What we do know is that Rezko’s sentencing has been put on hold, which indicates that he may be (and probably is) talking. The other great unknown is how much damaging information Rezko may have on either Obama or Blagojevich. Earlier this year, Rezko wrote a two page letter to U.S. District Judge Amy St. Eve claiming that he had not been party to any illegal activities involving either the Governor or the Senator.

Was Rezko merely covering for his pals, or does he really lack the kind of air tight, rock solid knowledge that could torpedo King Rod and the False Messiah? One must wonder.

If Rezko does have anything of value to share, there’s no time like the present. With less than a month to go before the election, time is running out. As for Blagojevich, his reign of terror has gone on long enough. It’s time for Tony to sing so the Feds can take out the trash.
