"CHICAGO (AP) — An imprisoned former fundraiser for Rod Blagojevich was sentenced Thursday after pleading guilty to a wire fraud scheme unrelated to the former Illinois governor, but will not face additional time behind bars.
Tony Rezko was sentenced to 7 1/2 years in prison for running a scheme that netted more than $13 million in business loans. U.S. District Judge James Zagel said the sentence would run at the same time as the 10 1/2-year sentence Rezko already is serving for plotting to squeeze kickbacks from companies doing state business during Blagojevich's tenure."

Comment.....This is an example of the kind of thieves Blagojevich had by his side....I find it very hard to believe that Obama knew nothing of all this corruption going on around him...I mean it was his Senate seat...C'mon now, Renko was a fundraiser for both of these guys.....Think about it! Do you really think Obama was clean?
