Batchelor: The Obama Files. Why should Obama worry?

^{Barack Obama, Tony Rezko}

In February, March and April 2008, the conservative Human Events published a series of articles researched and written by novelist, author, and radio show host John Batchelor about Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.) and his associations with now convicted political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko, Iraqi-British billionaire businessman Nadhmi Auchi, Iraqi-British millionaire businessman and Rezko’s long-time friend and former business partner, Aiham Alsammarae, and others. At the time, the substance of these articles were posted at RezkoWatch and are reposted together at RBO.

Auchi, Rezko, Obama. Who are they?

^{Emil Jones and Nadmi Auchi, April 2004}

On February 20, 2008, John Batchelor posed a series of questions regarding the curious business relationship of Iraqi billionaire businessman Nadhmi Auchi and then-indicted political fixer Antoin “Tony” Rezko with 2008 Democratic presidential candidate Sen. Barack Obama (D-Ill.):

Who is Mr. Auchi such that the British attorney Alisdair Pepper, who represents Mr. Auchi especially with regard Britain’s stringent media laws, has recently sent warning letters to those, such as “RezkoWatch” blog and Larry Johnson of “No Quarter” blog, who have published remarks and questions about Mr. Auchi and his unclear and complex links to the troubled and castigated Mr. Rezko?

This is the same Mr. Rezko of whom the prominent presidential candidate Barack Obama told ABC This Week host George Stephanopoulos on January 27, 2008, the day before Mr. Rezko’s re-arrest apparently because of Mr. Auchi’s generous loans, “Tony Rezko was a friend of mine, a supporter, whom I had known for 20 years.”

The “warning letters” to which Batchelor refers are documented here and here.
