Wash Times: Complaint hits Rezko land deal

In today's Wash Times...funny Chicago papers don't pick up a story like this. Fitz is looking at more than Blagojevich.

A former Illinois bank official, now claiming whistleblower status, says bank officials replaced a loan reappraisal that he prepared for a Chicago property that was purchased by the wife of now-convicted felon Tony Rezko, part of which was later sold to next-door neighbor Barack Obama.

In a complaint filed Thursday in the Circuit Court of Cook County, Kenneth J. Connor said that his reappraisal of Rita Rezko's property was replaced with a higher one and that he was fired when he questioned the document.

Mr. Connor, a real estate and commercial credit analyst at the Mutual Bank Corp. in Chicago, also noted in the complaint that the bank received a grand jury subpoena in October 2006 requiring it to produce information concerning Mrs. Rezko's purchase, including the bank's files on the property.

Under free speech Obama, you won't even be able to put posts like this up.

The left is a greater challenge to domestic free speech than the right.

To speak any truth on Obama becomes blasphemy.

These are questions that should be asked before the general election.

I love Barack Obama.
He can do no wrong.
But if you want to indict his wife--go ahead.

This could blow up into something big?

Barack Obama has been silent on the torture of Jon Burge and other police officers under his command at Area 2 and Area 3. Barack Obama said nothing even though he was Senator when much of the revelation and post conviction motions of innocent men was going on. There was torture in his Senatorial district. As a US Senator he has been silent while others including Cong Bobby Rush and Danny Davis and madame Clerk of the Circuit Court among others asked for a Federal Investigations.
Barack Obama was strangely silent on Jon Burge. It was to get Daley's endorsement. There were artciles on this that Obama never responded to and also letters sent that Obama did not answer. Obama is a coward and lacks courage and would do whatever it took including ignoring torture of our own people to get elected.

Anita Alvarez lacks any courage because she was in the office for 20 years and never said anything. She did not want to discuss this topic and all she could say is that she was young when it happened. She is still dealing with law suits, post conviction motions.
Dick Devine, to this day, states that Burge did not do any wrong.
Dick Devine, with Anita Alvarez in the executive staff, hired officers accused of torture under the Command of Jon Burge as States Attorneys investigators.

Questions for Anita Alvarez?:
1. If more should of been done than what was that more?

2. Should Richard M. Daley or Dick Devine be investigated?

3. Should the State's Attorneys office indicted Jon Burge and/or other officers in the 80s and 90s?

4. why did the city and county hire big law firms costing millions of dollars (including people on the ARDC and the police board) to defend Jon Burge and these other police officers and not settle these suits?

5. How come the County spent 10 million dollars on the Special Prosecutors "Burge" report which said they could not indict if the Feds now indicted for perjury?

6. Freeborn Peters is defending Jon Burge and individual police officers as is Terry Ekl at the cost of tens of millions of dollars to the taxpayers and Patty Bobb (on the Police board) on the county--yet there are former States Attorneys like Richard Sikes (whose name is on allegedly coerced confessions) and Terrence "TJ" Sheehan (who was touted by Bill Daley for States Attorney--the son of Sheriff Sheehan(the same Sheriff who investigated one of the pardoned death row inmates before turning it over to Devine who got the Feds involved)

7. Neither Daley nor Devine have been forthright or honest about it.

8. What does Anita Alvarez admit?

9. What would Anita Alvarez do differently?

10. Is Anita Alvarez going to fire the States Attorney investigators accused of torture?

This is a scandal and can affect the outcome of the States Attorney race

How can Mayor Daley say he has no responsibility?

Mayor Daley was States Attorney from 1980 to 1989 (9 years) and even after he was elected Mayor for at least one year he had his hand appointed Cecil Partee. While there was a brief interlude with a Republican (nominally) in Jack O'Malley--Dick Devine (his top person in the office) was elected in 1996 and holds that office currently (until December of 2008 so for 12 years)
Jon Burge was on the police force from the early 70s after Vietnam until 1994.
Daley's State's Attorneys took confessions from Jon Burge and tried cases with him. Daley's office interacted with Jon Burge and received complaints like the letter from Police Superintendent Matt Brececzk detailing torture (that was unanswered and not acted upon)
the Wilson brothers (2 lowlife scumbags) who were tortured happened under the Daley watch in 1981 and Aaron Patterson who was pardoned for a 1986 crime was under Daley and the Ford Heights 5 were under Daley. So how is it again we can't blame Daley? Dick Devine was in charge of all the post conviction motions including coerced confessions, torture, proof of innocence--and he did not act upon it.
Dick Devine TO THIS DAY denies any wrong doing by Jon Burge.
Dick Devine hired former police officers accused of torture onto the States Attorneys office Dan McWeeny.
In 1996, 7 years into the Mayoralty of his royal highness Mayor Daley (mayor for life) he promoted Peter Dignan who was accused of torture and other wrongdoing. Peter Dignan now works for the Cook County Sheriffs office. So it is interesting that:
1. Many of these gaelic officers live in the 19th ward
and
2. Many of these police officers accused of torture end up on on government payrolls controlled by politics including the Sheriffs and States Attorney

Mayor Daley has not admitted wrong doing by himself. He has apologized vaguely for torture and said it was a bad chapter but at the same time fought law suits, would not be deposed in law suits, paid tens of millions of dollars to defend Jon Burge and other police officers, promoted officers accused of torture, supported candidates (many current Judges) accused of torture with substantial allegations, and helped politically through his organization police officers to get (through Jeremiah Joyce) good post retirement plum political spots (like McWeeney and Dignan but there is more) Even convicted felons like William Pedersen got jobs at the Public Defenders office as investigators.

Freeborn and Peters made a big mistake in allowing these guys to get off the 5th amendment because there are going to be more indictments (but Freeborn and Peters with former States Attorney who took these confessions and the son of the Sheriff who started investigations against pardoned victims of torture TJ Sheehan made MILLIONS on the taxpayers backs)
Kunkle (now a judge and a top Daley States Attorney) tried the Wilson case and now has 4 different stories of what happened.
Egan and Boyle made 7 million (with Henshaw and Culbertson) on their whitewash report that said no one would get indicted.
The sad part is some of these men are guilty and they are now free because of Jon Burge, Rich Daley and Dick Devine.
A criminal investigation should continue into Daley and Devine.

Barack Obama has been silent on Burge torture despite the Peoples Law Office and Wallace Gator Bradley asking him to get involved.
Anita Alvarez better come up with a better answer than we should of done better because it is a cover up.

Burge may be killed or he will commit suicide--at least possibly--because he can take down a lot of cops and the Mayor himself.

Why was Obama silent on Burge torture?
Was it for the Daley endorsement and not to alienate white votes?
