Rezko Tells Obama And Illinois Governor To Look Out For Him

Or else ... ?

From J.R. at the Astute Bloggers:


And it doesn't take much of an ear to hear the "or else"The last thing Sen. Barack Obama and Gov. Rod Blagojevich needed was that letter written by convicted Illinois influence peddler Tony Rezko promising he'd never rat out his pals. The imprisoned political fixer insisted that federal prosecutors are squeezing him, according to an exclusive Tribune report written by federal courts reporter Jeff Coen for Thursday's paper.
"They are pressuring me to tell them the 'wrong' things that I supposedly know
about Governor Blagojevich and Senator Obama," the fundraiser (and Obama's
personal real estate fairy) wrote in a letter to U.S. District Judge Amy St.
Eve. "I have never been a party to any wrongdoing that involved the Governor or
the Senator," Rezko argued. "I will never fabricate lies about anyone else for
selfish purposes. I will take whatever comes my way, but I will never hurt
innocent people."

Amen, Tony. But those who say nothing don't brag. They shut up.
