ABCNews.com Review Shows an Additional $100,000 in Rezko-Linked Contributions Not Returned by the Campaign

Months after reporters started asking Sen. Barack Obama to account for contributions raised by longtime friend and donor Antoin "Tony" Rezko, questions remain about the full extent of the accused Illinois political fixer's role as a patron of Obama's political career.

"We have returned any money that we know was associated to Mr. Rezko," Obama told Diane Sawyer on Wednesday morning during an appearance on "Good Morning America." "That is something that if there's additional information we don't know about, we'd be happy to return the money."

The Obama campaign says it has given away more than $85,000 in Rezko-linked contributions since Rezko was indicted on federal fraud and extortion charges in the fall of 2006.

An ABCNews.com review, however, has identified an additional $100,000 in contributions made to Obama from Rezko's associates that have not been returned, including $19,500 in contributions from Rezko's wife and employees of Rezko's business enterprises. The ABCNews.com review includes individuals who have been linked to Rezko in news reports, court documents and public records.

This is troublesome.

is the propaganda machine of the republicans.

Obama: the part of this whole thing that gets me is the house and land he got. He paid so little for the house, told Rezo that he could not afford the adjoining property. Rezo's wife paid full price for the property and then sold it to Obama for pennies. Rezo gave Obama his house and land. And Obama took it. That is the worst of the story for me.

Conversely: the Clinton haters spent a decade trying to find something on the Clintons and never could. And the DU Obama supporters call her dishonest and ignore Obama's ties to this guy.
