Rezko, feds reportedly in intense discussions

The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

Just weeks before he is to be sentenced, political fund-raiser Tony Rezko is in the midst of intense discussions with federal investigators, sources close to the investigation confirmed to the Chicago Sun-Times.

There's no question federal authorities are interested in Rezko, a former top adviser and fund-raiser to Gov. Blagojevich, as a federal witness. But one source, who spoke on condition of anonymity, warned it's too early to call the discussions full-fledged cooperation.

Already, however, Rezko has provided information to the feds, who are vetting it, sources said.
