Reunited and It Feels So Good: Friends of Tony Rezko Gather for Fundraiser
Tomorrow, there will be a meeting between two guys who helped crooked developer Tony Rezko get his hands on millions of dollars.
Democrats Barack Obama and Alexi Giannoulias probably won’t talk about their old pal, convicted and now in federal custody, when they meet for tomorrow’s fundraiser to support Giannoulias’ campaign for U.S. Senate. But people who know about Obama’s career in Illinois politics will probably make the connection for themselves.
Rezko became Obama’s biggest donor early on because he was a developer of subsidized housing. He made his money from government. He needed Obama and others in government — including Rod Blagojevich, from the days he was a state representative, and some Republicans, too — to help him out.

It’s interesting that he came for a visit just 3 day’s before the trial began. Rememeber Memorial Day weekend the U.S. is on 2 war fronts and he comes to Chicago for a bbq…and now at the tail end of the trial for his birthday, how convenient. The defense never did get the 2 hour interview between Obama/Fitzgerald, I always wondered WHY they didn’t resubmit their request after the Balanoff testimony? Judge Zagel denied their original request stating there was no direct contact with the President but witness for the prosecution Balanoff testified he spoke with him directly…The defense could have used the contents of that meeting in their cross of Balanoff, so why didn’t they re-submit their request for that meeting??? Also missing from this trial is a check, Armanda testified Rezko had him make out a check to his partners sister for $50,000 (assuming it’s Daniel T. Frawley and his sister Kathleen Cullen)…The prosecution NEVER submitted this check into evidence and they didn’t offer any coraberating testimony from Rezko, Frawley or Cullen…SOOOO WHY didn’t the defense request to have his testimony thrown out?
A lot of things just don’t add up…
