Rezko Witness Leaves New Questions about Obama Real Estate Deal Unanswered
Obama's connection to a shady Iraqi-born British businessman was confirmed in bombshell Rezko trial testimony on Monday. Who is Nadhmi Auchi and why might Obama be back in hot water over the real estate deal on his house?
The star witness at the Tony Rezko fraud trial in Chicago may have gotten Barack Obama in hot water again over his long term relationship with the Chicago “fixer,” as well as his connection to a shady billionaire who may have played a key role in the real estate deal involving Obama’s home.
Stuart Levine testified that Senator Obama and his wife were guests at Tony Rezko’s house at a party honoring Iraqi-born British billionaire Nadhmi Auchi in early April 2004, according to press reports. This was the second event attended by Obama where Auchi, convicted of fraud in Europe, was the guest of honor. Earlier that month on April 3, Obama met with a group of “Middle East bankers” including Auchi at a reception sponsored by Illinois governor Rod Blagojevich.
The problem for Obama is that he first said, through campaign spokesman Bill Burton in an email to the news site Raw Story back in January, that “[h]e has no recollection of ever meeting him [Auchi].” Then, in an interview with the Chicago Sun Times, Obama let on that he “may” have met Auchi at the Four Seasons reception sponsored by Blagojevich.
The question will almost certainly be asked how Obama could forget meeting his longtime friend’s very important business partner twice in such a short period of time.
This is especially true since Auchi apparently attended at least one Obama fundraiser. Joseph Cacciatore, whose family once owned a 62-acre plot of land bought by Rezko and was in the process of developing with Auchi, says he met Auchi a few years ago:
Cacciatore can’t suppress at least a touch of admiration for the dapper, sophisticated Auchi. He said they met at an Obama fundraising party that Rezko gave at his home several years ago.
“He was well dressed,” Cacciatore said. “He seemed distinguished.”
Both men say they don’t know each other.
And Obama isn’t the only one who wished to downplay this relationship with Auchi. Raw Story reported that shortly after rumors began circulating that Obama met with Auchi, two websites connected to Auchi’s holding company, General Mediterranean Holding, were scrubbed of any mention of his trip to Illinois.
Obama himself has been extraordinarily vague about any possible meetings, saying that while he very well may have met Auchi, he doesn’t recall it.
Why is this so important? Establishing a previous relationship between Obama and Auchi opens a fresh line of questions about the real estate deal on his home involving Rezko and Obama –questions about the source of money that Rezko used to buy a side lot to Obama’s mansion at a time when he told a court he was flat broke and heavily in debt.
According to a story in the TimesOnline, another holding company belonging to Auchi, Fintrade Services SA, loaned Mr. Rezko $3.5 million dollars just three weeks before Obama and Rezko closed the sale on the property simultaneously –a stipulation by the previous owners that both the lot and house be sold at the same time– thus allowing Obama to purchase his dream house.
Over the years, Auchi loaned Rezko a considerable amount of money: more than $27 million, according to prosecutors. To pay off the debt, Rezko gave Auchi a bigger stake in that showpiece 62-acre land development on the south side of Chicago. In return, Auchi kept Rezko’s head above water as his numerous business ventures including real estate, pizza resturants, and property management were in various stages of failure. There is also the fact that Rezko was facing several lawsuits in connection with these enterprises.
It was another $3.5 million loan from Auchi late last year that caused a federal judge to revoke Rezko’s bail and send him to jail. Given Rezko’s numerous contacts in the Middle East, including his friendship with the Emir of Qatar, it worried the judge that Rezko might leave Chicago for friendlier climes and not return.
Auchi has a reputation in Great Britain of collecting politicians “the way that other people collect stamps.” The list of current and former British politicians working for one of Mr. Auchi’s numerous enterprises is an eye opener.
Norman Lamont retired from government to a seat on the board of the financial arm of General Mediterranean Holding, which runs Auchi’s many businesses. Lord Steel, the former leader of the Liberal Democrats and the current presiding officer of the Scottish Parliament, is also on the board. Lady Falkender, Harold Wilson’s former secretary, has worked for Auchi, as has Gerald Malone, a former Tory Minister you’ve probably forgotten about. Keith Vaz, the former New Labour Foreign Office Minister once accepted a directorship from Auchi.
Given Auchi’s checkered past, it’s amazing that politicians with any integrity would have anything to do with him. First, there is Auchi’s conviction in the notorious Elf case in France, where company directors and officers of the state owned oil company used the firm as “a private bank for executives who spent £200 million on political favors, mistresses, jewelery, fine art, villas and apartments.”
Beyond Elf, there is Auchi’s involvement in the Oil-for-Food scandal through his ownership of the the PNB Paribas bank, where the money for the program was held in an escrow account. BNP Paribas “was the sole bank administering the $64 billion UN programme. An investigation by the US House Committee on International Relations found that BNP Paribas made payments without proof that goods were delivered and sanctioned payments to third parties not identified as authorized recipients.”
The scheme earned BNP and Auchi $700 million in fees. It also earned his old friend Saddam Hussein more than $10 billion. Auchi acted as a conduit for arms during the Saddam years and was also involved in several oil deals with western nations at that time and bribing several Iraqi officials in the process, according to a court in Milan. “The name Nadhmi Auchi was just another name for Saddam’s intelligence service, or so we thought,” said Nibras Kazimi, a former Iraqi dissident who is now a visiting scholar at the Hudson Institute in Washington D.C.
So Auchi –friend of Saddam, international fraudster, and business partner to one of Chicago’s premiere fixers– gave Rezko the money that allowed Obama to purchase his house. Without the loan, Rezko would not have been able to afford the $125,000 downpayment on the lot and Obama would not have been able to meet the terms set by the sellers.
Did Auchi know that part of that money would be used to help Obama purchase his house? Did Obama know where Rezko’s money came from?
This is important to know because about the time of the loan to Rezko, Auchi was put on the State Department’s “undesirable alien” list and was prevented from getting a visa to the United States. Rezko told prosecutors that he tried to intervene on Auchi’s behalf with the State Department to get the ban lifted. Running into a stone wall at State, the prosecutors say that Rezko turned to “certain Illinois politicians to do the same.” Who would Rezko have turned to except Obama (and probably Governor Blagojevich)?
The fact that Obama knew Auchi from his trip to Chicago a year before alters what we had previously known about the billionaire’s visa problems. The question arises if any quid pro quo was given with regard to the Rezko loan, involving Obama’s possible intercession with the State Department on Auchi’s behalf. Going to bat for your patron’s business partner to solve a little thing like a visa problem is not a mortal sin. But connecting it to a loan that made it possible for Obama to purchase his house would be a little more serious and could involve the Senate Ethics Committee.
Obama denies helping Auchi in any way with his visa but can’t vouch for his staff:
Q: Did you ever help Auchi enter the country?
A: No
Q: Or your office?
A: “Not that I know of.”
That would seem to leave an “out” for the lawyerly senator but is inconclusive otherwise.
There will be many who say this just doesn’t matter: that Obama’s relationship with Auchi, like his relationship with bigoted preacher Jeremiah Wright, like his relationship with Pentagon bombers and domestic terrorists William Ayers and Bernadine Dorhn, like his relationship with some of the more unsavory elements of the Chicago political machine including Tony Rezko, is all guilt by association and an unfair attack on the candidate.
But the average voter might be asking right about now where does “guilt by association” end and the candidate being guilty of having monumentally bad judgment in picking his associates begin?

Another Clinton fundraiser has a suspect pastBy Greg Gordon and Will Connors | McClatchy Newspapers

Fundraiser Kase Lawal, of Houston, in October 2003. | View larger image
HOUSTON — A Texas oilman who’s accused of defrauding the Nigerian government by illegally pumping and exporting 10 million barrels of oil is a major fundraiser for Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign.
Kase Lawal of Houston is at least the fourth person accused or convicted of criminal wrongdoing to help finance Clinton’s political ambitions since 2000 and the second in her quest for the White House. The list also includes Chinese and Pakistani fugitives and a former Miami lawyer who was convicted of defrauding Cuba.
There’s no indication that Clinton’s campaign was aware of Lawal’s legal problems when it accepted his help in raising more than $100,000, but a McClatchy investigation in the U.S. and Nigeria suggests that her campaign did little to scrutinize the background of one of its top fundraisers.
Jay Carson, a campaign spokesman, brushed off such criticism.
“While no vetting process is perfect, our vetting department does extensive vetting in order to catch any issues with donors,” he said. “And to our knowledge, Mr. Lawal is an upstanding member of his community in Houston.”
However, a simple Google search by McClatchy produced reports of serious allegations about some of Lawal’s business dealings in Nigeria and South Africa.
Clinton’s campaign lists Lawal among about 250 “Hillraisers” who pledged to collect at least $100,000 in donations. Clinton attended a fundraising luncheon at Lawal’s home in Houston last Aug. 11 that generated more than $100,000, and she spoke to about 250 guests gathered around Lawal’s indoor swimming pool, including two former Houston mayors and Shell Oil President John Hofmeister.
Lawal, 53, who holds dual U.S.-Nigerian citizenship and whose energy company has become one of the nation’s largest black-owned businesses, said in interviews that he “unequivocally and vigorously” denies the Nigerian charges. The African case was initiated by the top financial crime-fighter in Nigeria, a country that’s rich in oil but also rampant with corruption.
Lawal, a commissioner of the Houston Port Authority since 1999, a community leader and a philanthropist, said he didn’t know of the charges against him until McClatchy contacted him last week. Saying he was “stunned,” Lawal said he’s traveled at least 70 times to Nigeria since 1999, is often greeted by police and has never been served with legal papers.
Lawal said he suspects that a now-deceased partner in a Niger Delta drilling venture “trumped up” the accusations as part of a scheme to blackmail subsidiaries of his company, CAMAC International Corp.
The criminal complaint in Nigeria against Lawal, two of his affiliated companies, five other individuals and the Irish firm Tuskar Resources Ltd. was filed in a legal system that’s fraught with allegations of graft and phony, politically driven prosecutions.
But the case against Lawal was brought by Nuhu Ribadu, an assistant police commissioner who later rose to become the country’s top anti-corruption crusader.
During Ribadu’s four years as head of the Economic and Financial Crimes Commission, the agency recovered $5 billion in stolen government funds and prosecuted 250 individuals, including a top police officer, eight former governors and a former vice president who allegedly was bribed by Democratic Rep. William Jefferson of Louisiana.
Jefferson has been charged with bribing an unidentified Nigerian official, and his case is ongoing in a federal court in Virginia.
The case against Lawal has received little attention in Nigeria and none in the U.S. media until now.
The separate South Africa controversy unfolded after the Commerce Department named Lawal to a business development committee of the U.S.-South African Binational Commission, and President Bill Clinton appointed him to a Trade Advisory Committee on Africa in 1999.
From 2003 to 2005, the Mail & Guardian in Johannesburg, South Africa, reported in several stories that Lawal had engineered a deal between the South African government and Nigeria that ultimately promised to bring South Africa 120,000 barrels of oil a day at wholesale prices.
Neither of two companies that CAMAC set up ever provided any oil to South Africa, however. Instead, the oil went to one of them in the Cayman Islands that was 75 percent owned by CAMAC, the newspaper said. Its minority owners remain secret.
The other firm, which apparently got no oil, was the South Africa Oil Co., established in Pretoria. CAMAC owned 49 percent of its shares. The remaining shareholders were a “who’s who” of relatives of leaders of the country’s ruling African National Congress, the newspaper said.
No one has been charged with a crime in connection with the incident.
The case against Lawal stalled for five years due to a legal challenge after CAMAC’s Nigerian affiliates and employees challenged the federal police’s authority to prosecute cases that normally are handled by Nigeria’s attorney general. The Supreme Court of Nigeria ruled in favor of the police in 2006.
Lawal said he was told last week that three national police chiefs have looked at the case since the court ruling, and each concluded that it “has no merit.” Others blamed the inaction on Ribadu’s departure from the federal police.
Ribadu, who’s now studying at a rural institute, was replaced as crime commission chairman in February. He declined comment.
But in Nigeria’s capital city of Abuja, Columbus Okaro, the commissioner of the federation police’s legal section, said the criminal complaint is pending. He also expressed irritation at hearing that Lawal had visited Nigeria without being served legal papers. While he couldn’t explain the inaction since 2006, Okaro said: “I’m the man who should be charging him. I want to go ahead with the case.”
Lawal didn’t respond to requests for comment about the South Africa deal, but in an extensive interview on the Nigerian charges, he said he’s neither a fugitive nor a convict.
Sitting in his 22nd-floor office overlooking Houston’s upscale Galleria neighborhood, he said: “My company, my actions and everything that we have done has always been aboveboard.”
He urged a reporter to check with Nigeria’s attorney general to see whether the charges remain valid and said he’d ask Nigerian police “to make a decision one way or the other” on the criminal charge “to close the chapter or to go forward with it, so that we can have a logical conclusion.”
In an interview in Nigeria, Taye Akiyemi, a spokesman for Attorney General Michael Aondoakaa, said: “There are many rich and powerful Nigerians out there. If he’s innocent, he should come here and defend himself. The Nigerian courts are waiting for him. Nigeria is practicing the rule of law now.”
Lawal said he supports Clinton because she and her husband are “just an intelligent couple, and we are fascinated by what they have done for America.”
Lawal, who attended U.S. colleges, founded CAMAC in 1986 and built it into a $1.6 billion enterprise that ranked No. 296 on Forbes Magazine’s 2007 list of the top 400 privately held companies.
He’s also the vice chairman of the Houston Airport System Development Corp. and a co-owner of Texas’ first black-owned bank, the Unity Bank.

“So Michelle’s “dream house” might become their biggest nightmare?
And does this put into question Barack’s early and singular good judgment on his opposition to the Iraq war?”
If the MSM wasn’t totally in bed for Obama, everyone would know that his opposition to war wasn’t some great stroke of judgement. It was typical Obama of avoiding any real controversial issue to focus on boilerplate marxist crap.
In the speech, Obama gave on the issue he acknowledges that Saddam was evil and was trying to get WMD, but Obama simply said that he didn’t support the war because he wanted to use the money for more socialized healthcare, more money for “education” and etc.
This is a typical Obama response as far back as his teenage years. When his grandmother was being accousted on the bus, Obama didn’t think to protect his grandmother, he was more concerned with “racism”. His legacy in politics is missing votes on difficult decisions.
Apr 15, 2008 - 2:41 pm 12. RIch Rostrom:One thing I would like to know is whether Bob Kjaellender was at those gatherings with Auchi. Kjaellender is an Illinois member of the Republican National Committee, was RNC Treasurer, and is managing prep for this year’s convention.
He’s also in bed with Rezko and Blagojevich, having collected huge fees off state bond deals steered to him. So the Auchi connection is potentially bipartisan.
This ties back into the Iraq War, believe it or not. Criminal regimes in the Third World create billionaires like Auchi - who then buy influence in the U.S. Money talks. Note the Clintons’ “Chop Suey” connections. And I believe Republicans are vulnerable too.
If the rest of the world is rotten, the rot will not stop at our borders. (The case from Houston is another good example.)

Apr 15, 2008 - 6:42 pm 14. neill:from talismangate.com:
According to The Times:
The Times has, however, discovered state documents in Illinois recording that Fintrade Services, a Panamanian company, lent money to Mr Obama’s fundraiser in May 2005.
Fintrade’s directors include Ibtisam Auchi, the name of Mr Auchi’s wife. Mr Auchi’s spokespeople declined to respond to a question about whether he was linked to this business.
But according to this Middle Eastern business site that had profiled Auchi’s General Mediterranean Holding Company, Nadhmi Auchi himself is directly associated with Fintrade Services of Panama! That means that there’s a direct money trail between Barack Obama and Nadhmi Auchi!
This is huge!
Look, it’s hard to believe that Obama is tainted with Auchi’s money; how would he even consider running for the presidency while knowing that something like this lurks in the closet? But this doesn’t look good at all, and Obama needs to explain that this has nothing to do with his views on Iraq.

Apr 15, 2008 - 9:47 pm 15. Heartland, PA:Mr. Obama appears to be a total fraud: a probable “Manchurian Candidate”. The facade may be slowly cracking. His San Francisco “slip” was most definitely “Freudian”. His genuine prejudices and elitist attitudes toward “small town” America were inadvertently and accidentally exposed. He is an apparent fallacious “straw man” or “puppet”. WHO is and/or are the puppeteer/s??
Post reading the Rezko testimony yesterday, I’m wondering if Mr. Obama’s backers/handlers (puppet masters) are even Americans.
At a minimum, we should want a President who absolutely loves this wonderful country. The Obama’s have exhibited (in word and deed) otherwise. Multiple examples prevail as to close, anti-American affiliations/alliances (Nadhmi Achi, friend of Saddam….a leading supplier of arms; Reverend Jeremiah Wright + Farrakhan; Rashid Khalidi, Obama’s 2004 fundraiser). Mrs. Obama is/has been very verbacious as to her resentment and dislike of our country, therefore, a rehash of her disgraceful spews is not necessary.
Folks, THINKING is a prerequisite to rational decision making. Be very, very circumspect when you cast your vote now and in November.
Apr 16, 2008 - 5:34 am 16. Bill Bradley:The story you link to doesn’t have Auchi at the reception. That leaves leaves the Levine testimony, as source for their having met once.

More sites that have been scrubbed? This is getting bizarre, scary bizarre.
What is going on here? Just like the Trinity Church’s site was scrubbed of the black value system, the bulletins with their Pastor pages, the Trumpet magazine.
Obama’s site being scrubbed of mentions of Reverend Wright and the Black Panthers endorsements, etc.
Obama’s Illinois records where Judicial Watch cannot get them as there aren’t any. They disappeared.
Something very scary is going on here.

Apr 18, 2008 - 10:25 pm 20. jeff:I think what you have to realize about Illinois politics is that they are very dirty on both sides of the aisle. Someone made a crack about Bob Kjellander, and Illinois republican. He was tied into Rezco for sure. In Illinois, columnist John Kass calls this merge of Dems and Reps the “Combine”. Now Obama has memory lapses regarding Rezco. He has said that Rezco asked him for no favors. Let’s take Obama at face value and assume he is telling the truth.
The question you must ask, “Who asked you for favors?”. Undoubtably, Rezco had allies that asked Obama for favors, or will once he is in the White House. They may have come from other politicians, like Emil Jones, or some of Daley’s henchmen. No one climbs to the upper echelons of northern Illinois politics without becoming a little dirty.
Obama is not telling the whole story, but just enough to placate people. He is a very good lawyer.
Apr 19, 2008 - 6:34 am 21. william camelot:Disregarding all his character flaws, his fiscal policy pronouncements will make him a terrible president.
Let me try & understand this…
The Democratic & Republican primary season is
to make a “selection” that will enable the American
public to have a legitimate choice for the “Top
political position in the world…!!”
The Democrats are so desperate to win the White House
that they will try and run a candidate that has literally
no experience with governing a state or running anything.
He has no experience in foreign affairs and to top it
off his background check in front of the American public
is less than honorable. He is associated with very unsavory
people which he dismisses out of hand, when it very clearly
points to his “Poor Judgement” regarding such matters.
He is about to be exposed for the shady backhanded deal
that compromised his integrity because his wife wanted a
bigger house and more land….
Why in the world would anybody “stand” this man for President
of our country…? Answer- the Democrats are so desperate for
a win at any cost that they have chosen a “slick politician” with
a sweet tongue and they threw in race to make it interesting…
The Republicans will destroy this man in the general election,
why because he is a “straw man”…smart but a slick oil salesman…
Change…Hope… and than he takes his mentoring from a racist
wife…..a racist minister…several unsavory characters that rape
their state and the population…And let me understand this, the
Democrats are running this man for President….!!
