Tony Rezko who donated thousands of dollars to Democratic Campaigns, was ordered jailed today after it was learned that he accepted $3.5 Million Dollars from an Iraqi Billionaire after claiming that he was broke.Federal Prosecutors said that Tony Rezko "...played a shell game and misled the Court about his assets..."
The Democratic fund raiser Rezko, was indicted last year for allegedly attempting to collect $6 Million Dollars in kickbacks from government deals and attempting to shakedown a Hollywood Producer for $1.5 Million Dollars in campaign contributions for Governor Blagojevich, D-Illinois
Rezko's trial is scheduled to begin on February 25 on charges of mail fraud, money laundering and attempted extortion---he is charged separately with swindling General Electric Capital Corp. out of $10 Million Dollars in the sale of a pizza restaurant business.
Barack Obama & Tony Rezko have been friends for more than 15 years when $60,000 in campaign contributions were raised for Barack Obama---after Rezko was indicted, Obama donated $11,500 to charity in an attempt to cleanse his soul?
Last week on MSNBC , Hillary Clinton denied knowing Tony Rezko who she called a Slum Lord and accused Barack Obama of having a long relationship with him.
