Federal prosecutors have asked to delay the sentencing of convicted fundraiser Antoin "Tony" Rezko indefinitely.

The motion filed Monday afternoon signals the key fundraiser for Gov. Rod Blagojevich, Sen. Barack Obama and other Illinois Domocrats may be telling prosecutors what he knows about corruption in state government.

It asks U.S. District Judge Amy J. St. Eve to delay the sentencing "while the parties engage in discussions that could affect their sentencing postures." The language is all but an acknowledgment that Rezko is talking.

4. If there was anything, why the hell would Rezko have waited this long to spill the beans?

This article from AP (http://news.yahoo.com/s/ap/20081007/ap_on_re_us/fundraiser_trial) does say that Obama was rarely even mentioned, and no evidence has been found to link Obama to any wrongdoing. If there was something the investigators couldn't find, why would Rezko have waited this long to tell them about it?

5. Waiting for the right offer?

6. Couldn't his attorneys have dropped hints earlier,

with promises of names in exchange for a better deal? Before it got this far?
