This past week, as reported in the Chicago Sun Times, former Tony Rezko partner Daniel T. Frawley’s Companion Securitysentencing hearing was suddenly delayed – with no revised date having yet been given. Frawley, like Rezko, has been awaiting sentencing for crimes they long ago were found guilty of. Speculation is now rampant over the cause of Frawley’s sentencing delay – most notably its possible relation to former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s own most recent conviction. Like Rezko and Frawley, Blagojevich too is awaiting his own sentencing. All three figures have significant ties to both Barack Obama and the president’s most trusted senior adviser and fellow longtime Chicago resident, Valerie Jarrett.Imagine that.
In documents now available at the Sun Times it appears quite possible Daniel Frawley’s apparent cooperation with federal officials could have further linked the dubious relationship between Barack Obama and convicted felon and former Chicago political power broker Tony Rezko – a link that could include recordings of Rezko directly implicating Barack Obama in crimes going back nearly a decade ago.
