Rezko ‘Singing Like A Bird’? … Prosecutors Seek To Delay Sentencing
Tweet
by Natasha Korecki – (Chi Sun-Times)
Federal prosecutors have asked a judge to indefinitely postpone Tony Rezko’s sentencing on corruption charges  admitting for the first time they are undergoing discussions with the political fund-raiser.
In a motion filed today, Assistant U.S. Attorney Reid Schar asked a federal judge to strike the Oct. 28 date as prosecutors continue discussions with Rezko that could affect his sentence. Schar asked for a status hearing in the case for sometime in December.
The Sun-Times first reported Rezko’s possible cooperation in August.
The delay could be good news for Democratic presidential nominee Barack Obama since a sentencing just days before the election would likely generate unfavorable publicity about his former fund-raiser.
“The parties agree that the Oct. 28, 2008, sentencing date, as well as dates related to sentencing filings should be stricken while the parties engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures,” Schar wrote.
Me: You gotta go to the Sun-Times link above and check out the comments to this article. I notice most stories I get from the Chi papaers, the stories are less than ‘favorable’ to Hussein … and the comments are pretty much of the anti-Obama flavor.
