Is Rezko Talking About Obama,Alderman Burke,and Congressman Gutierrez? Prosecutors talking to Rezko, seek to delay sentencing

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:
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.
On the surface it gets less Rezko publicity right before the election.But, one has to wonder what Rezko is talking about because Rod Blagojevich(Public Official 'A' Rezko Trial) and his wife were on the Feds radar? Is Rezko talking to the Feds about Obama,Cook County Board President Todd Stroger,or how Alderman Burke did "legal" work.Or Democratic Congressman Luis Gutierrez's excellent real estate deal:
Rep. Luis Gutierrez got a deal on a riverfront town house built by Antoin "Tony" Rezko, a developer and prominent political fund-raiser now under indictment for an alleged kickback scheme involving state pension funds.

Gutierrez paid $434,900 three years ago for the town house along the Chicago River just north of Diversey. That's far less than his neighbors paid for any of the other riverfront town houses in the development, records show.

Gutierrez no longer lives there. In March, he sold the town house for $610,000 -- a 40 percent profit.
Imagine that.
