Rezco redux

There is an article in today's Chicago Tribune that may be a harbinger of big stuff to come (link by clicking on entry title). According to sources close to the US attorney's office in Chicago, convicted felon Tony Rezco is cooperating with the feds in further investigation of the conduct of governor Rod Blagojevich and the junior senator from Illinois, one Barack Obama. If this is true, it could prove to be political dynamite. Imagine what would happen if it were to come out that Obama got Rezco his $14 million grant in taxpayers funds in exchange for the sweetheart deal on the purchase of the Obama home. According to the Obama campaign, it was a mere coincidence that Obama purchased one half of the property for $300,000 less than the asking price on the same day that Rezco purchased the other half of the property at exactly the asking price. In my opinion, that is a rather lame excuse. Nevertheless, until now, there was no hope of either Rezco or Obama contradicting it. Imagine if Rezco now states the contrary. A quid pro quo. Would the US attorney indict Obama for a felony in the weeks prior to the election. It would be a national disaster if he did, but it would be a national disgrace if he did not.
