Tony Rezko Released From Prison – AP ‘Forgets’ to Mention He’s Linked to Obama

In 2008 the RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement”.
The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close family friend Tony Rezko.

The ad detailed Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook.
Fortunately for Obama, the liberal media refused to do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the campaign.

In 2011 Tony Rezko was sentenced to 10.5 years in prison for a kickback scheme that involved the Teacher’s union.

On Tuesday Tony Rezko was released from prison and transferred to a halfway house.
The AP “forgot” to mention that he was connected to Barack Obama.

Antoin “Tony” Rezko was convicted in 2008 of fraud, money laundering and plotting to squeeze more than $7 million from companies seeking to do state business during Blagojevich’s tenure. Rezko was sentenced to 10 1/2 years in prison. He was also serving time for fraud over the bogus sale of his pizza restaurants.

U.S. Bureau of Prisons Ed Ross says Rezko was furloughed Tuesday from the Federal Correctional Center in Pekin to a halfway house outside Chicago.

Rezko attorney Joe Duffy told the Chicago Tribune the Bureau of Prisons concluded Rezko had been a model prisoner and released him “so he can start transitioning back into society.”
