Two For One
Rezko gets to serve his sentences concurrently, meaning he'll be out long before Blago and even though he might be able to shed a lot more light on influence peddling that Blago ever could:
- Convicted political fundraiser and businessman Antoin “Tony” Rezko will not spend any extra time in federal prison for a business fraud scheme after agreeing not to appeal his conviction in the case — or his conviction in a wider-ranging political corruption case.
U.S. District Judge James P. Zagel sentenced Rezko Thursday to 7½ years on charges he schemed to get a fraudulent loan to prop up his Papa John’s Pizza franchises in Illinois and Michigan.
But Zagel agreed to make the sentence concurrent with a 10½-year prison term Rezko received last month for corrupting state boards and state government under former Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
We're guessing he'll do 8 years barring a pardon.
Oh, and he gets to do his sentence outside of Peoria in Pekin, IL. How convenient.

Blago,Rezko, Cellini get pardoned. Republican Ray LaHood was selected by Obama for for Secretary of Transportation. He was close to Cellini. Nobody in the media will touch this. The whole government is corrupt.
If you don't think this was a deal to keep his mouth shut you are retarded. This whole place is corrupt. How can a judge see both cases. What a crock. Put them in the county not in a country club.
I love Pizza Papa Johns!
What did you expect ?

Blago and the choosen one hate each other. IF anyone is pardoned it will be becasue of Rezko.
He will never talk. This POS goes all the way up to Obama and all the way back down the corruption ladder. All of these greedy bastards should get life. No less.
Did anyone honestly think this guy would do more time? This was in the bag before this case ever got started.
This states not any better-bumble head Quinns chief of Staff is a BLAGO crony and has been for ever- he puts people in every agency in the state thjat are Blago cronys it just keeps on and on
Karma for everyone!
