UPDATED WITH REPUBLICAN NATIONAL COMMITTEE VIDEO RESPONSE:

News of Barack Obama’s buddy Tony Rezko the Chicago Real estate Developer and fundraiser for Barack has been found guilty on Federal Corruption charges.

Chicago Sun Times reports:

Tony Rezko the high-flying developer and fast-food magnate who was once a major campaign fund-raiser for Gov. Blagojevich and Democratic presidential hopeful Barack Obama and one of the governor’s closest advisers — is now a convicted felon.

A federal jury in Chicago convicted Rezko this afternoon on 16 of 24 charges he faced in a political corruption trial that cast a harsh light on the Blagojevich administration.

The verdict, reached after deliberations that spanned 12 days, could give federal authorities new ammunition in their probe of the governor’s campaign and his administration. They already have subpoenaed Blagojevich’s campaign fund, scrutinized his donors, looked into his wife’s real estate dealings and questioned potential witnesses about whether they were promised anything in return for campaign contributions, sources told the Sun-Times.

Barack had no comment.

Tell me it ain’t so….. Hillary Clinton was confronted about a photo that has materialized on the internet. The photo shows her posing with her husband, the ex-president and Tony Rezko in the White House during the Clintons’ shared presidency.

This is the same ‘slum lord’ that Hillary threw in Obama’s face during the South Carolina debate.

In Hillary’s own words from the debate to Obama:

I was fighting against those ideas when you were practicing law and representing your contributor rezko in his slum landlord business in inner city chicago.

Here is part of the transcript:

…

This is a picture of you and your husband, bill clinton, posing with that same man, tony rezko. It’s undated, i’m going to ro-tel you right now. We know it’s him. We don’t know when it was taken. We think it was during your husband’s presidency. I’m curious, do you know anything about the picture? do you know when it was taken? do you remember meeting this man?

:: No, I don’t. You know, I probably have taken hundreds of thousands of pictures. But of course, matt, you didn’t show what preceded what I said, which was a direct attack, one of several that was leveled against me by senator obama.
…

The Clintons will do anything to get elected to another C0-Presidency.

Can America suffer through another four to eight years with these clowns?
