Rezko Talkin' To The Feds

By Marcus Gilmer in News on Oct 11, 2008 5:32PM

In today's no surprise news, it looks like Tony Rezko is cooperating with the Feds in order to help his own sentence (happening in December). This is pretty much what we expected all along. While his information will surely hurt Blago, it remains to be seen how much it will affect the Obama campaign. At least one state GOP member thinks it won't harm Obama, who has not been accused of improper behavior in the case. State Senator Kirk Dillard (of Westmont), who is a McCain delegate but a friend to Obama, said, ''I think this strikes fear into the Blagojevich administration and the Statehouse Democrats but not into the Obama campaign."

The Sun-Times, however, seems to have its own sources where they're pulling their info from.
