Barack Obama’s money man goes down on, what was it now? oh, yes,mail fraud, wire fraud, aiding and abetting bribery, and money-laundering. Required reading here and here.

Obama may have thought all of his interactions with Rezko were above-board,
but they weren’t. One of the counts against Rezko detailed how he funneled the
proceeds of an illegal kickback scheme into Obama’s 2004 Senate campaign.
Rezko’s co-conspirator, a former trustee of the Illinois Teachers Retirement
System (TRS) named Stuart Levine, told the jury that he directed the TRS to
invest $50 million with a firm called Glencoe Capital. In exchange, Levine
arranged for himself and Rezko to be paid a fraudulent $500,000 “finder’s fee.”
Levine routed Rezko’s half to an associate named Joseph Aramanda in March of
2004. That month, Aramanda wrote a $10,000 check to Barack Obama’s campaign.
Of course, Obama may well not have known the details of such a shadowy
transaction, and his campaign has donated that $10,000 — and all other
Rezko-related money — to charity. But what became clear over the course of the
Rezko trial is that this kind of scheme exemplified Rezko’s way of doing
business. It’s hard to believe that Obama could be so clueless about Rezko’s
character, just as it’s hard to believe that Obama sat in Jeremiah Wright’s pews
for 20 years and had no idea that the man was a radical black nationalist.
