So the plot thickens............


http://www.suntimes.com/news/metro/blagojevich/1337789,CST-NWS-rahm18good.article

President-elect Barack Obama's incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had a deeper involvement in pressing for a U.S. Senate seat appointment than previously reported, the Sun-Times has learned. Emanuel had direct discussions about the seat with Gov. Blagojevich, who is is accused of trying to auction it to the highest bidder.

Emanuel talked with the governor in the days following the Nov. 4 election and pressed early on for the appointment of Valerie Jarrett to the post, sources with knowledge of the conversations told the Sun-Times. There was no indication from sources that Emanuel brokered a deal, however.

A source with the Obama camp strongly denied Emanuel spoke with the governor directly about the seat, saying Emanuel only spoke with Blagojevich once recently to say he was taking the chief of staff post.

But sources with knowledge of the investigation said Blagojevich told his aides about the calls with Emanuel and sometimes gave them directions afterward. Sources said that early on, Emanuel pushed for the appointment of Jarrett to the governor and his staff and asked that it be done by a certain date.

At least some of the conversations between Emanuel and Blagojevich were likely caught on tape, sources said.

After Jarrett took herself out of the running in mid-November, Emanuel submitted a list of suitable names to the governor's camp that didn't include her name.

Emanuel, who has refused to comment on the issue, is not accused of wrongdoing.

In portions of conversations released in a criminal complaint against Blagojevich, he can be heard complaining that Obama wouldn't give anything in return for a Jarrett appointment.

Well, depending on what "dealing" means in your post here, either 1) it means "talking to" which Obama never said and would make it a false statement not worth replying to like I had mentioned, or 2) it means "asking for money or favors in exchange" in which case there's nothing in the article which supports that claim, so it would just be wishful speculation on your part, also not worth discussing.

This is one of those things that always amazes me about Washington. When will people learn that it's so often the coverup that gets your ass in trouble, not the actual act.

It would completely make sense that the Obama team would have talked to Blago about this position. It would be expected. I don't know why the hell they didn't just come out in the beginning and say, "Yes, we've talked to him. No, we have not engaged in any wrongdoing or brokering for the position." Instead, they're so scared of getting tainted by this moron that they try to act like they don't even know him.

I honestly don't think that the evidence will show that Obama or any of his proxies made any sort of attempt to deal for the seat. So I don't think they're guilty of any wrongdoing. However, by mispeaking (or lying if you want to call it that) about the level of contact between the two camps, he's guilty of either distortion or not knowing what his people are up to.


Edit: I just read an article that basically says the same thing :
http://www.salon.com/opinion/conason/2008/12/19/rahm/print.html

What's Obama hiding about Blagojevich?
Probably nothing. But by mishandling the scandal, his team has allowed questions to be raised where there were none.

By Joe Conason

Dec. 19, 2008 |

While the Blagojevich scandal so far has exonerated rather than implicated Barack Obama and his staff, the president-elect's camp has made some unnecessary mistakes in response. Inflated and distorted by hostile critics, those mistakes have risked creating public suspicion where there need be none.

When a scandal breaks in the media, the most important aspect of any political response is clarity. Vagueness provokes distrust, which is only intensified by brusque responses to reporters' inquiries. Innocent fumbles create an appearance of dishonesty or concealment, even when there is none -- and inevitably, political opponents distort that false appearance even further to their own advantage.

The impulse to create distance between Obama and Blagojevich was understandable, given their common political roots in Chicago, but was excessive in its zeal and haste. By seeming to suggest that there had been no contact with the Illinois governor about appointing a new senator to replace him, Obama and his aides set up a scenario that could only be punctured by subsequent facts.

Indeed, Obama had every right and reason to be concerned with who might replace him in the Senate -- and there was certainly nothing wrong with him or anyone who works for him engaging in discussions of that matter with Blagojevich. But as the scandal emerged, all such contacts suddenly seemed to carry a taint -- an impression that Obama seemed to affirm. Reflexively but wrongly, he behaved as if no such discussions had occurred, without quite saying so.

So when the Chicago Tribune reported that Rahm Emanuel had in fact discussed the Senate appointment with Blagojevich or his aides on nearly two dozen occasions, it meant trouble. There is no indication that the incoming White House chief of staff engaged in any illegal or unethical conduct. There is certainly no indication that those contacts were "inappropriate." But the revelation encouraged every insinuation that Obama and his staff are somehow obscuring the real nature and extent of their relationship with the disgraced governor.

This political problem arose in part because Obama was so eager to appear purer than any politician can actually be. In his initial statements, he sounded as if he was trying to say that he knew nothing at all about the selection of his successor. "I had no contact with the governor or his office and so we were not, I was not aware of what was happening," he told the press, and refused to elaborate.

That remark clarified nothing; today it seems like obfuscation at best and prevarication at worst. Nobody is likely to believe that Emanuel spoke more than 20 times with Blagojevich or the governor's aide John Harris without informing Obama about those conversations. To insist that he had "no contact" when his top aide was involved in so many contacts is precisely the kind of parsing that undermines confidence.

Yet there should be no need for parsing, because the facts are entirely on Obama's side. To date, the evidence confirms Obama's assurance that he and his staff did nothing "inappropriate." Indeed, he may be unique among Chicago politicians, in that he has been exonerated of wrongdoing not just by a United States attorney but by the alleged criminal, who curses him roundly on tape for unwillingness to "pay for play."

Moreover, the repeated complaint by the press and the Republicans that Obama and his aides are unwilling to answer questions or release their internal investigation is simply unfair. As the president-elect and his spokespersons have explained more than once, U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald has urged them to be circumspect, if not utterly silent, while he continues his investigation. Yet the snarking has continued even after Fitzgerald released his own statement confirming that request.

Still, there are legitimate questions that need to be answered -- and it is to be hoped that answers will be forthcoming next week, when the Obama team has promised to release its own report on the Blagojevich matter. Under the direction of incoming White House counsel Greg Craig that report is already complete, and found that neither Obama nor his staff had done anything untoward in dealing with Blagojevich.

Presumably that document will include a timeline and summary of all the contacts between Emanuel (and any other Obama representatives) and Blagojevich (or his office). Beyond that basic information, journalists are certain to ask whether, for instance, the president-elect actually changed his mind about promoting top aide Valerie Jarrett for his former Senate seat, who once led his list of "acceptable" nominees, and why. Did resistance from Blagojevich, who seems cold to "Senate Candidate 1" in the federal wiretaps, have anything to do with it?

A thorough report and a press conference where Obama answers those questions fully and candidly ought to put the Blagojevich scandal to rest, as far as he is concerned. But as president there will be other scandals (and pseudo-scandals) in his future. He seems much too smart not to learn what this episode's errors can teach him.

One of the few political mistakes that I've seen from Obama a few times is that he sometimes comes out with an absolutist statement of denial or affirmation. This is a dangerous thing in politics.

Ultra Peanut
12-19-2008, 05:39 AM
Even if they were wrong about the extent of Emanuel's contact with Blagojevich, it's not like Obama or Axelrod really stepped in it. If all the Republicans can throw at him in four years is this paper-thin Blago innuendo, he'll be a lock for re-election.

Besides that, Fitzgerald is telling Obama and his team to hold off on any disclosures in the first place:

Obama's team was planning to release its findings about contacts between Obama aides and the Illinois Governor's today. (I'm told it turned out to be "pretty milquetoast stuff.") However, when White House Counsel-to-be Greg Craig informed U.S. Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald of that, the U.S. Attorney asked him to hold off. Why? That's unclear. One possibility is that having that information in the public domain would make it more difficult for Fitzgerald to pursue leads involving other parties.

i agree with this. it would not be improper for him to work with the governor on filling the senate seat. i dont believe obama did anything wrong in that area.

We are talking about getting your message out in a 20 second byte. And what needs to come out is that the Obama involvement was normal, not illegal negotiations. Therefore in getting the message out in 20 seconds you truthfully state you had no contact (that could be construed as inappropriate.) For most of the country the incidentals will just fly by because they are not relevant to any wrongdoings. Only a technical level of truth.

Those jokes don't bother me.

This is my favorite:

A man died and was taken to his place of eternal torment by the devil. As he passed sulfurous pits and shrieking sinners, he saw a man he recognized as a lawyer snuggling up to a beautiful woman.

“That’s unfair !” he cried. “I have to roast for all eternity, and that lawyer gets to spend it with a beautiful woman.”

“Shut up!” barked the devil, jabbing him with his pitchfork. “Who are you to question that woman’s punishment?”

It's a petegz post. There's nothing to understand.


As far as I can tell, the guy has absolutely no sense of political subtext.

This is un-possible.

President Obama vetted and checked his entire staff, and I was told this week that they were all clean.

You simply must stop being so inflaming of these preposterous concepts.yeah... that's right. and 'vote early and often' Chicago style politics has changed it's tune with BO in charge now. ROFL

Nope, that's not what you said. you had your chance to rid me, and I was going to oblige. you went out of your way to invite me back with no terms attached. it was called a pardon. you can't undo it now.

Quite to the contrary, I've given you a ridiculous amount of opportunities to impart to us what the significance of this "news" is and you've been deathly afraid of coming anywhere near talking about it. For obvious reasons, though, it's fluff until there's something a little bit more worth giving a s*** about.

Looking forward to a clear answer to this...

Thanks in advance Pete.

Is your claim that this is not signicant? Regardless of what Obama has told us?


Or is this, as banyon says, "insignificant" to you as well because only Bush can be called a liar?



I look forward to a clear answer? Thanks in advance. :D

D2112, you can post here until I tire of your presence.

BIG_DADDY, you've got through Friday to post wherever. And then?

I have made no claims...but am just looking for something of substance from you.

You don't have it, but it is fun to watch to attempt.

That wasn't what I was trying to do.

Tell whoever reads your posts for you that they are doing a shitty job.
