Antoin "Tony" Rezko was attacked by the prosecution as the mastermind of an elaborate fraud scheme but excused by the defense as a total bystander as closing arguments began Monday in the trial of the ...

It was mentioned in testimony several times that Rezko had several different cell phones at one time because he thought the government was listening, why would he worry if he did nothing wrong?!

The defence wants it both ways, Levine was the mastermind, clever and manipulating but he was so incoherent from the massive drug use he couldn't tie his own shoes. Make up your mind Duffy which one is it.

How can you beat a good defense attorney?? Now they have Rezko looking like an angel...that's what they are paid for and I'm sure this is costing Rezko a BUNDLE.It all depends on the jury..if you have one ,just one decenter you will have a hung jury and Rezko will walk.Too bad the guy sure seems to be guilty by all accounts of the newspapers...but you can't always believe what you read in the papers!!This will be interesting..if he walks,there goes Blago he's off scott free..the government wont go after him .

He's taking the fall for Blago & Obama. Better hope Obama wins so you can get a presidential pardon.

Duffy might as well start calling Tony "St. Rezko" and put a halo over his head. Duffy didn't want to put anyone on the witness stand because he had no one to back up his story! Levine, Ata, and numerous others provided the necessary burden of proof that "St. Rezko" was in fact deeply involved in corrupt politics and business. Only a naive, mindless, blind, deaf jury could find him "not guilty". I'm just in hopes that this sends actionable reverberations towards Springfield and Cook County. If it doesn't, then what's the point in going after corruption in Illinois when the efforts made in this case are essentially farts in a hurricane?

It's also interesting that whoever Rezko 'helped' in the state paid him back big time. So what did he get from Obama for the sweetheart deal on his mansion.

Mayor Daley has about a dozen fall guys between himself and the actual corruption. Look at all the scandals he knew about like hired truck.

But I don't think Blago is as smart as Daley and he's a bit more arrogant. You could probably take down Blago alot easier then Daley.

I would say they certainly have their hands full involving all the corruption, "Racketeering", fraud, shaking down, Extortion, Emotional Blackmail, False Memory, hostage taking, homicidal activity, etc. in the state of Illinois.

One definitely see that Pinocchio's nose grows with each bald-faced lie. I am not talking about Levine and one can see that the corrupt, conspring, etc. feel they can always attack the memory of another.

What we do is take the constant evidence and put it all together and an explanation of how it all ties together and we are constantly attacked by those who illegally demand to be able to exploit us. Why do we have all the different departments of government when they absolutely refuse to have morals or ethics and help citizens. The corrutp always demand to be able to discredit us. It has never been about going after those into crime, violence, or homicial activity. It has been about the corrupt use of power. We do find the corrupt and violent to be masterminds of elaborate fraud schemes. They are arrogant, unlikable, and repugant. They are even in all walks of our so-called goverments. The issue is whether he/she is telling the truth and what really took place in reality. I cannot rationalize that which is irrational. It is even about the illegal use of police nd sheriff cars. We are capable of putting the puzzle pieces together and connecting the dots. The corrupt also demand that we cannot have any witnesses in our favor and illegally demand to arrest them or get rid of them if they should try to help us. What we see are reports that are always fabricated. We also see the illegal demand to be able to hold up needed medication and the refusal to let go of their fraudulent cases and concocted stories. The pressure by the corrupt is unbearing that we should go along and even tell a different version.
Court is a sham and "Shell Game" always demanding to cover up criminal activity. The pressure is also unbearable in that we should go along with our oun destruction adn death. "Suicidal Programming"
The fact that we should constantly cough up money for extortionists and hostage takers and threats if we do not comply. The illgal demands that we should help cover up crime, kidnapping,hostage taking, fraud, etc. We we refuse to bend to the enemys' demands the corrupt feel they can seek revenge and enter into violence, etc. They have an in-your-face attitude and feel they will teach us a lesson to be obedient, compliant, etc.

Compliance is a disease. Rebellion is a cure. The criminal activity has been out of hand for decades and decades and is not getting any better in spite of these cases. I find this article very triggering. The corrupt constantly try to say tell it like it is and when we do they spin and throw us into recall invoving all the violence and criminal activity. All the money in the world is not enough when it comes to bullies, extortion, fraud, insurance fraud, Medicare Fraud, the corrupt, etc. Enough is never enough. There are no morals or ethics in the state of Illinois. This is not to say that everyone is corrupt.

There has to be something Rezco did for Obama. It is a proven fact that Rezko only did for those who have done for him or "will" do for him. In an article I read Obama said he had a conversation with Rezco about some "appointments" to jobs. But there is more to this than that. Prior to coming to Chicago I lived in Lake Geneva, WI for years. It is interesting to know alot of the Chicago/Illinois machine policticians/crooks have homes there.

As a corrupt mastermind who was recently the victim of a frame up, I must object to this headline.

Rezko: not only corrupt but one of the evil masterminds behind our totally failed state government. That alone should be sufficient for 30 years in prison. In his behalf let me say he should not go to jail alone. The governor and "Evil" Emil, at least, should be on the same bus.

Emil Jones, God what the hell has he ever done to help the state of Illinois? Obama's Godfather...the mob was a kinder, gentler organization. Emil screws every one.
