WND reports FBI has been talking to the whistleblower on the Obama-Rezko loan file since Blago was arrested.
UPDATE: And besides the house deal, here's the other major piece of the puzzle, part of the Obama Master Plan (his health care plan). Also this, more recent, concerning Obama and his pal Dr. Eric Whitaker. Abraham Miller, PJM, HT Marathon Pundit:
If you don’t remember Antonin (Tony) Rezko, here’s the Cliff Notes version: If you wanted to build or expand a medical facility in Illinois, you had to cut a deal with Tony. He was the guy with contacts on the state board whose approval you needed. To put it bluntly, he was the guy you paid off to pay off the other guys so you could get the required permits.The other shoe drops.
Originally, the board was made up of fifteen members. Now, in Chicago, where bribery has become a cultural art form, bribing half of fifteen means you need eight guys in your pocket. That’s a heavy overhead cost. What if you could reduce your overhead by about forty percent? Just think how much more money you could make.
Enter Barack Obama, state senator and chairman of the senate's Health and Human Services Committee. Obama successfully introduced legislation to cut the size of the board down to nine members. Now you only have to bribe five members. But Obama's legislation didn't just cut the size of the board; it put appointment power directly in the hands of Governor Rod Blagojevich. And Governor "Blago" (as we Chicagoans love to call him) quickly appointed a number of Rezko's cronies to the board.
One Democratic stalwart without flinching said to me, "Obama did that because he believed in more efficient government." And Mrs. Rezko closed on the adjoining property next to the Obama mansion on the same day as the Obamas closed on their house, which netted the Obama’s a $300,000 discount on their purchase, because Mrs. Rezko believed the Obamas would be good for the neighborhood. I understand that thoroughly. In a neighborhood with unrepentant terrorists like Bill Ayers, you need some people with integrity to keep up property values.
