How is Rezko any different from Hillary's latest "scandal"?

[NJSecularist]

If I was Hillary, I'd advise her not to bring up Rezko again. Obama has some ammo now.

Mr. Nazarbayev walked away from the table with a propaganda coup, after Mr. Clinton expressed enthusiastic support for the Kazakh leader’s bid to head an international organization that monitors elections and supports democracy. Mr. Clinton’s public declaration undercut both American foreign policy and sharp criticism of Kazakhstan’s poor human rights record by, among others, Mr. Clinton’s wife, Senator Hillary Rodham Clinton of New York.

Within two days, corporate records show that Mr. Giustra also came up a winner when his company signed preliminary agreements giving it the right to buy into three uranium projects controlled by Kazakhstan’s state-owned uranium agency, Kazatomprom.

The monster deal stunned the mining industry, turning an unknown shell company into one of the world’s largest uranium producers in a transaction ultimately worth tens of millions of dollars to Mr. Giustra, analysts said.

Just months after the Kazakh pact was finalized, Mr. Clinton’s charitable foundation received its own windfall: a $31.3 million donation from Mr. Giustra that had remained a secret until he acknowledged it last month. The gift, combined with Mr. Giustra’s more recent and public pledge to give the William J. Clinton Foundation an additional $100 million, secured Mr. Giustra a place in Mr. Clinton’s inner circle, an exclusive club of wealthy entrepreneurs in which friendship with the former president has its privileges.

If Obama's campaign plants this a day before Super Tuesday, it could really hurt her the next day. Will Obama sink to Karl Rove-ian circa 2000 politics? Who knows, but I wouldn't put it past him.

7. For one thing it doesn't look like a direct link as in Clinton praises the guy

for no appointment to head the election monitoring ,then he buys uranium projects from his government, and then he donates millions to the Clinton Foundation. Way more degrees of separation .It seems apples to oranges. And all presidential libraries and foundations have such donors.This was considered a big yawn in August and is no.Rezco has an honest to god indictment of a man Barak had a 17 year relationship with and the NYTimes and ABC have discovered Barack did not tell the truth about his being given presidential donations from a party under federal investigation and the return of those monies.He also"boneheaded" or not participated in a real estate transaction with this man. Rezco, in Baracks own words, made it possible for Barack to buy his house. The tie is much more direct. Just saying.
