“Just three weeks earlier,” Merriner pointed out, “Rezko had been indicted on charges of extorting kickbacks from businesses seeking contracts from the Blagojevich administration.”

The “fashion show” was chaired by Rita Rezko, co-chaired by the Governor’s wife, Patti Blagojevich, and Michelle Obama was a special guest that day, according to Merriner.

Two weeks after the “fashion show,” on November 17, 2006, the Sun-Times reported that Blagojevich’s wife Patti got nearly $50,000 from a real estate deal in late 2002 involving Rezko.

In terms of dollar amounts of campaign contributions directly from Rezko in Illinois, the top four earners were, the now deceased President of the Cook County Board, John Stroger, Blagojevich, Chicago Mayor, Richard Daley, and Obama – in that order.

I’ve heard that Patty Blago was the agent for a number of Rezko’s land deals, but I don’t believe I’ve heard that she was involved in the purchase of the Obama’s house.

I swear I heard on one of the talk radio shows I listen to that Patty Blagojevich was the realestate agent for the Rezco-Obama land deal. Has anyone else heard that? I have not heard anyone else mention that.
