Rezko for Radicals is available on Amazon

Agents and I talked about payoff, bribe, kickback for a long time

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) November 05, 2012

In his new book Rezko for Radicals, author Kenneth J. Conner, formerly a real estate analyst at Tony Rezko's bank in Chicago, presents a carefully researched and insider accounting of Rezko’s real estate transactions involving Barack Obama. Conner details a meeting with the FBI in October 2007 in which he advised agents that the Rezko lot next door to the Obama Mansion was worth a maximum of $500,000. Rezko paid $625,000. Later it became known that another appraisal valued the Rezko lot at $490,860. (Cook County court case # 2008L011470) abcnews.go.com/images/Politics/doc1%20-%20Copy.pdf

As reported by the Washington Times (p3, November 4, 2008) and online at http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2008/nov/04/fbi-asked-questions-on-rezko-land-deal/ Ken told the FBI agents he believed Rezko's purchase of the lot for more than market value amounted to a payoff, bribe or kickback from Tony Rezko to Barack Obama of at least $125,000. On the same day Rezko bought the lot, Obama bought the mansion next door from the same seller for $300,000 below asking price. Ken advised the FBI that of the $300,000 reduction, at least $125,000 is attributable to Rezko's overpayment.

Obama previously called his mansion purchase "a market based transaction" and insisted that that "everybody who's looked at it has acknowledged as such" until going off script in an extended no-cameras interview and calling it "a fire sale," as reported on March 3, 2008 by Lynn Sweet, Washington Bureau Chief for the Chicago Sun-Times. http://blogs.suntimes.com/sweet/2008/03/sweet_obama_and_his_taking_que.html

Also while researching for Rezko for Radicals the author found a court file prison letter from Tony Rezko in which he complains to his trial judge that the feds are being "overzealous" in "pressuring" Rezko to coopertate against Rod Blagojevich and Barack Obama. (Case # 05 CR 691 - 4 in the United States District Court, Northern District of Illinois; letter filed June 9, 2008)

Soon after the letter Rezko agreed to cooperate against Blagojevich.
