Rezko sentencing postponed indefinitely

Interesting. I wonder what information is Rezko is squealing to the Feds.

Talkleft:

Tony Rezko's sentencing was postponed indefinitely today. Looks like he's cooperating with the feds again.

A few weeks ago, Rezko, tired of being held in solitary at the detention facility, asked the judge for immediate sentencing. The judge complied and set sentencing for Jan. 6. Then, Gov. Rod Blagojevich got arrested and Rezko changed his mind and asked the judge to pull the sentencing date.

From today's Tribune article:

Rezko's request comes as he restarts talks with federal prosecutors. Those talks hit a stumbling block as Rezko asked to be let out of solitary confinement at the downtown federal lockup. He asked for a rushed sentencing in January. But last week's revelation that the government has recordings in the governor's case, appeared to change Rezko's mind about cooperating.

Michael Madigan is on a mission to get his daughter in the Govenor's Office next the White House. He will pay to play and even more illegal acts to make it happen. I was a little surprised AG Lisa Madigan didn't read the 25th Amendment as she show boat the idea of getting G-Rod out of office. But it seems most Americans didn't know the rules of the 25th Amendment either so it worked. Looks like Illinois wants to replace one corrupt Govener G-Rod with another corrupt Governor Lisa Madigan. Well some things never change when it comes to Politics.
