Another Body Blow… Trump Goes After Obama’s Close Ties to Crook Rezko

The RNC released this web video titled “Lapse in Judgement” back in 2008.
The ad revealed Barack Obama’s dealings with convicted felon and close friend Tony Rezko.

This great ad described Obama’s relationship with the Chicago crook.
Unfortunately, the left-wing media didn’t do its job and protected Obama from any honest attacks during the 2008 campaign.

Today Donald Trump went after Obama’s close ties to convicted criminal Tony Rezko.
IB Times reported:

President Obama “never did a deal in his life except with Tony Rezko,” said Donald Trump on Fox News.

“People should look into that one,”
he added.

Trump once again went on the offensive against Obama. His previous point of attack was doubts over Obama’s birthplace. Now, it’s the latter’s long history with Tony Rezko, who Hillary Clinton in 2008 called a “slum landlord.”

Rezko is am Illinoisan political fundraiser who was convicted for fraud and bribery in 2008. He was accused of using his political position to extort money from businesses seeking contracts from the Illinois Teachers System Board and the Illinois Health Facilities Planning Board.

Back in the 1990s (before Rezko’s offenses took place), two companies owned by Rezko gave the first ever contributions to Obama’s Illinois Senate campaign. In the 2000s, he served on Obama’s U.S. Senate campaign finance committee.

In 2005, Rezko’s wife bought a lot adjacent to a house Obama purchased for $625,000 and subsequently sold a part of it to Obama. The deal generated much controversy back in Obama’s 2008 presidential campaign.
