Flashback: Obama's name surfaces in Rekzo's federal corruption case

As we head closer to Blago trial, it's flashback time: January 20, 2008.
The Chicago Sun-Times reports:

For the first time, Democratic White House hopeful Barack Obama has surfaced in the federal corrupton case against his longtime campaign fund-raiser, Tony Rezko, the Chicago Sun-Times has learned.

There's more:

Rezko, who was part of Obama’s senatorial finance committee, also is accused of directing “at least one other individual” to donate money to Obama and then reimbursing that individual — in possible violation of federal election law.

Imagine that.
