The Daily Oklahoman may be the reddest, most biased newspaper in the country, and they have a headline today,"Jailed Obama fundraiser is talking with prosecutors." That caught my eye. I thought, "Oh my god. Some idiot has done something really stupid, and Obama is going to suffer for it!"
But the story is all about Rezko, now termed as an "Obama fundraiser."
They go on to say, basically nothing at all, but I found the bit about the prosecutors pressing him for dirt on Obama troubling. Are these local, state, or federal prosecutors?
Rezko was friendly with Obama — offering him a job when he finished law school, funding his earliest political campaigns and purchasing a lot next to his house. But based on the known facts, charges so far and testimony at Rezko’s trial, there’s no indication there’ll be a so-called "October surprise" that could hurt the Democratic presidential nominee — even though Rezko says prosecutors are pressing him for dirt about Obama.
Rezko, 53, a real estate developer, was convicted in June of scheming to use his clout with Gov. Rod Blagojevich’s office to squeeze $7 million in kickbacks out of a contractor and seven money management firms seeking to do business with the state.
