The Obama-Rezko plot thickens
The UK Times reports that Barack Obama's involvement with Chicago slum
landlord Tony Rezko, currently under indictment, may involve money
originating from a British-Iraqi Middle East wheeler-dealer, Nadhmi
Auchi, a convicted criminal.
Rezko, an Obama fundraiser, helped facilitate Obama's purchase of a
$1.65 million mansion in Chicago's Hyde Park neighborhood for $300,000
below the asking price. The owner wished to sell both the house and an
adjoining lot. Mrs. Rezko paid the full asking price of $625,000 on
the same day that the Obamas purchased their luxury home. At a
substantial discount. The seller denies that there was any connection
between the two transactions. Later, a small portion of the land was
sold to the Obamas so that they could expand their garden.
Senator Obama calls this arrangement a "mistake."
Now it develops that Mr. and Mrs. Rezko apparently lacked the money to
make the purchase of the plot of land.
In a sworn statement a year later, Mrs Rezko said she got by on a
salary of $37,000 and had $35,000 assets. Mr Rezko told a court he had
"no income, negative cash flow, no liquid assets, no unencumbered
assets [and] is significantly in arrears on many of his obligations."
Just weeks before the Hyde Park transactions, Auchi loaned $3.5
million to Rezko.
A company related to Mr Auchi, who has a conviction for corruption in
France, registered the loan to Mr Obama's bagman Antoin "Tony" Rezko
on May 23 2005. Mr Auchi says the loan, through the Panamanian company
Fintrade Services SA, was for $3.5 million.
There is much yet to be learned about the web of transactions
involved, but it now appears that money originating from a convicted
Middle Eastern wheeler-dealer found its way to indicted Chicago
wheeler-dealer Tony Rezko, and then weeks later provided the means for
a nearly simultaneous land transaction that enabled the Obamas to buy
their home for substantially below asking price.
It certainly doesn't look like change we can believe in, when it comes
to Chicago politics.
Update: much, much more from Chicagoan Rick Moran, writing at
Rightwing Nuthouse:
The Obama-Rezko relationship must be understood in the context of the
influence peddling, the casual corruption, the cronysm, the favoritism
shown in less than open bidding – all part of a city and state
political culture where the politician, the businessman, and the crook
frequently rub elbows and sometimes wear each other’s hats. Obama
hiring the daughter of a Rezko associate to work in his office (after
Rezko had helped raise tens of thousands of dollars for his campaign)
is no big deal. But this kind of “favor” done for Rezko is a different
story:
The Chicago Tribune: “On June 13, the Chicago Sun-Times reported that
as a state senator, Obama wrote letters to city and state officials
supporting Rezko’s successful bid to get more than $14 million from
taxpayers to build apartments for senior citizens. The Sun-Times said
the deal included $855,000 in development fees for Rezko and his
partner, Allison S. Davis, Obama’s former boss, according to records
from the project, which was four blocks outside Obama’s state Senate
district.
Obama now regrets his association with Rezko and has given $150,000 to
charity in order to atone for his sins
