This is bad news for two of Illinois' most prominent Democrats.
For Barack Obama, it just draws more attention to the worst stain on his public career.

A few days in the notorious Metropolitan Correction Center in downtown Chicago and he might be more willing to testify against Rod. In the government's filing today, it alleges that Rezko was clandestinely funneling assets to family and friends, including Rod's other top indicted fundraiser, Chris Kelly.
