Feds Say Rezko Wanted to Help

NBC Chicago reports:

In a filing Thursday, federal prosecutors said longtime fundraiser Tony Rezko came to them in July of 2008, offering to cooperate in their investigation of former governor Rod Blagojevich.

Blagojevich was arrested in December of 2008, and earlier this year was convicted on a single count of lying to the FBI.

Rezko had previously written a letter to his own trial judge, Amy St. Eve, accusing the government of pressuring him to lie about Blagojevich and others. But in Thursday's filing, prosecutors state that Rezko had in fact recanted that letter, "and admitted it was false when written in an attempt to secure bond during his trial."

It's good to know Barack Obama went to his house closing with his close friend Tony Rezko.
