Mr. Rezko and Mr. Obama


UPDATE: Tribune story. Sun Times.

The NY Times is on it:

A real-estate developer who was once one of the most powerful men in Illinois, Mr. Rezko had told the court he was nearly broke. But federal prosecutors said Monday that he benefited from $3.7 million in wire transfers from Lebanon and Luxembourg last year. They said his failure to tell the judge about the money suggested he could be a flight risk.

The disclosures about Mr. Rezko could fuel efforts by Mr. Obama’s opponents in the presidential race to make Mr. Obama’s relationship with him an issue.

How the mighty have fallen.

(Who are we talking about here?) (And after such soaring rhetoric too)
