Citing “a source familiar with the investigation,” Fox says that Emanuel had “multiple conversations” with Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris, who was also arrested Tuesday on federal corruption charges, about the seat and that they we’re “likely recorded and in FBI possession.”
Fox’s source said that Emanuel gave the governor’s office a list of “candidates that would be acceptable to President-elect Barack Obama” but no “quid pro quo” or “dealmaking” is suspected.
Can we send Rahmbo a dead fish?
Possible gulit by association???
I wonder how far or how deep this will go?
Watch out! He’s gonna come after you with a steak knife! Dus hut inz oisgefehlt. A yid in a high-profile position. It usually does not end well…
So are we finally going to see our dear president elect tied in to this scandal or will turn a blind eye until after the inauguration
“no “quid pro quo” or “dealmaking” is suspected”
..and I have a bridge in Brooklyn to sell!
and even if he did, so what? it would only make sense for Obama to follow up who will replace him.
you think Hillary is not following closely and has a saying on who will replace her?
Barak Obama is too smart to let this effect him. Rom Emmanuel may go down with the Gov. But Barak–no he will find a way to wash himself off of all guilt.
It’s the Chicago Way! Obama rose to power with these thugs. Jesse Jackson, Jr. is tangled up too. Where is Upchuchk Schumer with his rapid dog like calls for a special prosecutor? What did they know and when did they no it. C’mon, Upchuch! You slobber all over the microphone every weekend. Step up to the plate! Put these guys in front of a grand jury, and let us see where the chips fall.
Look, it’s obvious Reszko is singing like a canary. Blago will do so too
what is wrong with what emanuel said?
I see no problem at all wirh rahm saying whom he’d prefer
Who’s leading the investigation Fox news, VIN and its posters or the US attorney Patrik Fitzgerald? If it’s Patrik Fitzgerald he said Obama is not part of the investigation.
Sarah Palin has spoken to Ted Stevens and there are pictures of the two shaking hands. Does that make her part of his corruption? Guilt by association right?
It’s funny or sad I should say the same people that defend molesters before they are guilty are the same ones that rush to convict Obama and Co. before he is even proven guilty let alone accused by the authority of any wrong doing.
Why don’t you all wait to find out before accusing him of any wrong doing even though Fitzgerald said he isn’t part of it?
Every Conversation of Blago was recorded it’s very easy to find out If Obama was part of it.
Obama and Blago are far from friends. Obama snubbed him at the Dem convention and Blago had some choice words for him and was upset that Obama wasn’t going to pay for the seat.
Here are Blago’s own words
“They’re not willing to give me anything but appreciation”.
Can someone explain to me how this means Obama or anyone part of his team were willing to pay for the seat?
This is change we can believe in.
CHOB GEMINT ER HOT MAR SHIECHEL!!

Let us hope that he is Jewish Chief of Stafff did not become Oberchochim and foul it all up. Blago called the President elect some very unflattering names. Of course Republican candidates would never do such as thing
As Rush correctly pointed out on Friday, Obama’s media pals will spin this as “Obama walks a straight line in a crooked world.” No, this is Obama’s street thug agitator world.
Smells like Obama is starting to sweat and studder over this one.
It really doesn’t matter whether Emanuel is guilty of any corruption or not. They’ll make him into a real Jewish scapegoat & throw him under the bus. Personally, I don’t have any rachmones for him as a person as I think he’s a vicious, hard nosed cuthroat, but I don’t want to see yet another Jew take the fall for other people. My rachmones is limited to the fact that he’s a Jew. Other than that, I couldn’t care less. You know the old saying…if you lie down with dogs you wake up with fleas.
