"Obama fundraiser, convicted of fraud, spills beans"

Taken separately, each of the three declarations may be truthy, strung together they are misleading as hell.

2. Prosecutors are pressing for dirt on Obama?

Now THAT suggests that politics is playing a part in this. Much more than in Palin's Troopergate. Someone should be investigating those prosecutors.

Regardless, I've got some Republican friends who are utterly convinced that Rezco is going to be Obama's downfall. Even if he fingers only other Illinois politicians, they're still convinced there will be backlash against Obama. I think it's pretty much wishful thinking on their parts.

3. Here's all you need to know...

"Obama has sent to charity $159,000 that Rezko raised for his campaigns for the state legislature, the House and the Senate. Rezko raised nothing for Obama's White House run."

...

"None of the witnesses accused the Democratic nominee for president of doing anything improper."
