According
to Ata, he handed the governor a $25,000 check for a campaign
contribution at a 2002 meeting with Blagojevich and longtime
Blagojevich campaign fund-raiser Tony Rezko in Rezko’s Chicago office.
Blagojevich “expressed his pleasure and acknowledged that the defendant
had been a good supporter and good friend,” the plea agreement says.
The governor, “in the defendant’s presence, asked Rezko if he [Rezko]
had talked to the defendant about positions in the administration, and
Rezko responded that he had.”
Ata said that, after the meeting, he filled out an application for a
state appointment. He previously had given Rezko a list of three
agencies to which he would like to be appointed.

Why bad news for Blagojevich, Rezco,and Obama Rama? Ata
will
be cooperating with federal prosecutors as part of the plea deal, and
that means he'll be talking at the Rezco trial. Obama was given
$5,000
by Ata in 2003. .. oh, that's right.
Obama donated it to charity last
year, after Ata was indicted. We don't know yet to what extent the Rama
was involved with these crooks, but it's sounding more and more like he
has a lot to worry about, even with his Bodyguard of Lies media.
