More Details for the Obama Files

Human Events reports:

In sum, Mr. Obama shook hands with a shadowy billionaire who is suspect of making it possible for Mr. Rezko to perform duties that won him the title of "fixer," by the Chicago media. Mr. Auchi's cash in Mr. Rezko's hands may have fixed Mr. Obama's estate in 2005. Mr. Auchi's cash in Mr Rezko's hands may have built the suspect's defense case or sustained it in 2007, a case to refute the government's sweeping charges, brought by U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of the North District of Illinois, of graft in high places in Illinois politics. And Mr. Auchi's cash in Mr. Rezko's hands could have led, in the U.S. court's opinion as of January 28, 2008, to Mr. Rezko fixing his problem by flight from prosecution to Middle Eastern countries without extradition treaties with the United States.

At this point, if there was an easy explanation for Mr. Obama's handshake and what questions it raises about the candidate's past associations and arrangements, the Obama campaign would already have issued it widely. Mr. Auchi is as high a profile Iraqi-born entrepreneur as may exist, a man who has enjoyed the hand-shakes of U.S. presidents over many years, though not recently, and not right now with the Rezko trial beginning March 3. The next step is to await the not easy explanation, a tale that will prove most fertile in the coming presidential election.

Some disturbing questions.
