Prosecutors Seek to Delay Sentencing of Tony Rezko
October 7th, 2008 | by celtictexan |Federal prosecutors moved Monday to delay indefinitely the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin “Tony” Rezko, sending their strongest hint yet that he is ready to spill his political secrets.
The filing asks for a postponement while prosecutors and defense attorneys “engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures.”
Speculation has simmered for weeks that the key fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich and Sen. Barack Obama was whispering what he knows about corruption in Illinois government to federal prosecutors in hopes of getting a lighter sentence.
Rezko raised more than $1 million for Blagojevich’s campaign fund and was one of the governor’s key advisers. He was frequently by the governor’s side in the early days of his administration and could be in a position to shed considerable light on federal investigations into patronage hiring and a host of other issues involving Blagojevich.
Here it is, the Dems and the Lib press trying to hide till after the election what might do great damage to Obama.
Funny one of the things the lib congress is doing right now is trying to make Bush look bad in the wake of his firing of all AG’s. The only one close to being anything out of the ordinary involves one AG who would not prosecute a Lib prior to an election in New Mexico.
He wanted to try to keep it quiet till after Kerry Bush. Now they are doing the same thing. Only its working for the libs.
There is so much bs in the life of Obama that should be in public. I just don’t see how even the Lib MSN can refuse to pick it up.

I’ve been following politics for 50 years (presidential politics for 48 years), and I’ve never seen an campaign like this one. Even the pretense of objectivity on the part of the media is totally absent.

For sure. Even Fox, though much closer, has not gone after the stories as they should. Only talk radio, and the commentary parts of Fox have tried to drag it out. On the other hand I’ve never in my life seen so much truth told in e-mails, or seen the quantity of e-mails about Obama as I see now. I think all will be well in the end but this may well be the last year a Republican will get elected.
I really believe that even in the nomination process the press manipulated the news to try to get the Repub most likely to lose chosen.
It’s getting bad.

Back in February of this year, Charles Krauthammer wrote a very prescient op-ed piece called The Audacity of Selling Hope. The closing paragraph is chilling in its prediction:
“Democrats are worried that the Obama spell will break between the time of his nomination and the time of the election, and deny them the White House. My guess is that he can maintain the spell just past Inauguration Day. After which will come the awakening. It will be rude.”

If he wins I could not agree more. In fact if that nightmarish scenario comes true, then I would like to see the Repubs give in to absolutly everything outside SC nominations. Give them every thing else.
Let the country see what Polosi Reid and Obama do to the constitution.
