Based on a "list of 39 people" lawyers for indicted political fixer Antoin "Tony" Rezko "said in a court filing", the Chicago Sun-Times' Dave McKinney asked March 6, 2008, "Did Barack Obama use indicted campaign fund-raiser Tony Rezko as a conduit to get jobs for people in Gov. Blagojevich's administration?" Was Blagojevich "urged" by Rezko to "give state jobs." McKinney wrote:
Among those on the list were two people who appear to have Obama links and a third who's now an Obama presidential campaign staffer.
But did the names come from Obama? His campaign staff's short answer: Don't know -- but it's possible.
"We do not know how decisions were made to fill specific state positions, and we have no records of any individual recommendations we were asked to make or made," says Obama spokesman Bill Burton "But we do know that Tony Rezko, among others, was helping to gather names for the positions coming open with a new administration, and, if it is established any names came through our office, we would have no reason to doubt it."
