Breaking: Hussein Close Personal Friend And Briber Rezko Guilty!
Guilty on 16 of 24 counts…
CHICAGO — A federal jury has found a prominent political fundraiser for Sen. Barack Obama and Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich guilty of 16 of 24 counts in his Illinois corruption trial.
Antoin “Tony” Rezko was accused of scheming to get bribes from businesses seeking state contracts.
The jury delivered its verdict Wednesday after a nine-week trial.
Rezko has known Obama since he entered politics and was involved in a 2005 real estate deal with the Democratic presidential candidate, although testimony barely touched on their relationship. Most of the focus was on shakedowns prosecutors said Rezko arranged when he was a top adviser to Blagojevich.
Neither Blagojevich nor Obama has been accused of wrongdoing.
