What's the question?
I've read quite a bit about the Rezko issue and there have been quite a few statements from Barak Obama: That buying real estate from Rezko and his wife was a "boneheaded move" but not illegal (this has been confirmed by others). That there have been donations from Rezko to Obama, and that Rezko was probably trying to garner favor, but there was no such favor granted by Obama (he later gave all the money and more to charity). In fact, he bought the land from Rezko for 3X its appraised value. That's it! As your colleague, Glenn Greenwald, so astutely points out, the name Rezko is being thrown around by the media and Clinton's people even though it has no meaning. Heck, Clinton received donations from Rezko and some of his fellow defendants in this trial, and no one's asking her about that. So, exactly what is the question you want answered, Mr. Conason? I think I missed it.
