The Rezko meetings

This is precisely the information we were hearing in 2006, while I was helping with anti-Rod Blagojevich research for Republicans in the governor's race.

"Individuals who helped select and process candidates for boards and commissions will testify that Rezko had weekly meetings with the head of patronage for the [Blagojevich] administration, where Rezko provided names of individuals he wanted appointed to certain boards," prosecutors wrote in a 31-page document filed late Wednesday.

We heard, but could not verify, that co-schemer A (William Cellini) attended some of these meetings either in person or by phone. I guess we'll find out more in a couple of weeks when the Rezko trial starts.
