You may be hearing quite a bit about indicted businessman and political player Antoin “Tony” Rezko—from his aggressive political donations to his relationships with Illinois leaders like Senator Barack Obama and Governor Rod Blagojevich. We bring you a closer look at Rezko's extensive political contributions, to give a more complete picture of who he was in Illinois politics and how many people received support from him. Here's a comprehensive list of campaign donations attributed to Rezko, his business, and his immediate family. The list includes all entries returned through database searches with the Federal Election Commission and the Illinois State Board of Elections, and independent watchdog organizations.
Rezko Political Donation History
[pdf]
Please keep in mind some of these donations have been returned or given to charity, which may not be reflected here. Also keep in mind that Rezko ushered many other donations from friends and business associates to candidates, and also raised large sums of money for his preferred candidates through private parties. That money will not be reflected here.

Seems as though Mr Obama knew alot more than 5 hours of work at a small lawfirm that did some work for Mr Rezko..who actually signed the Barak Obama donation checks that were deposited? A ghost?
