Political Fundraiser Tony Rezko Found Guilty on 16 Counts in Corruption Trial
  • 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.


I am sure that whomod will be happy to apply the same "guilt by association" standards he uses for republicans and we will hear his strong words of condemnation shortly.
