They may also want to add this to their investigation:
.....
This is interesting (from you last link):
The Obama campaign had anticipated the Chicago Machine card would be played in the campaign and the candidate, himself, noted earlier this year that he felt he had done well in rising politically “without being entangled in some of the traditional problems of Chicago politics.”
Still, Obama has been faulted by some progressives for his quiet approach and for not forcefully supporting the reform primary challenge of Forrest Claypool to then-incumbent Cook County Board President John Stroger, who was backed by the city’s leading Democrats. William Daley, the brother of Mayor Richard Daley, is an economic adviser to Obama. He is Midwest chairman of J.P. Morgan Chase & Co. and previously was president of SBC Communications Inc. He also was Commerce secretary in the Clinton White House and a leading administration salesman for the North American Free Trade Agreement that Obama has vowed to restructure. Earlier, Daley was a Clinton appointee to the board of now discredited mortgage giant Fannie Mae....
But Obama last week did contact Jones and asked the state Senate president to call a vote on a bipartisan ethics bill that had stalled because of changes made by Blagojevich—a move critics contended was aimed at killing the measure....
The phone call was largely seen as a pre-emptive move by Obama to prevent a stall on Illinois ethics legislation involving Jones from exploding onto the national stage.
Add Daley to Raines and Johnston in the Fannie Mae mess. Throw Emil Jones under the bus, temporarily — but he won’t really mind — if Obama makes it to the Whitehouse — Chicago goes national!

So THIS is how the clintoons get nobama off the ticket!
Perhaps a responsible citizen working inside? Whistleblower?
Hang ‘em all!!!
The MSM will not allow a real investigation. They will focus on some bs lies about Palin violating a moose’s civil rights.
The rats in Congress will call Gorelick, Bill Clinton, Frank and Dodd to be in the investigation of evil and dumb republicans.
Obama, Raines and other protected affirmative action bozos will holler racism and nothing will happen to them.
Biden will continue to stick his foot in his mouth and up another cavity, and that will be ignored by the MSM. Like his comments about FDR’s non role in the depression before FDR became president were ignored by the MSM.
GW, Cheney, McCain and probably Palin will be blamed for what the rats have done since the Days of the Clintoon gang raping and plundering.
This will more than likely drag on for months and months...the Sheeple will forget about it..and both sides will settle....or drop it.
I've ZERO confidence in government investigating itself.
Isn’t that Louisiana representative who was caught with $90,000.00 in his freezer still in Congress? What happened to that investigation?
I will be very surprised if anything comes of this.Hope I am surprised.
Yah, right!
If not, the term I’m seeing more and more around FR:
“torches and pitchforks”
I really think folks are truly at the precipice of some
downright drastic reactions.
McCain was on Fox live today at 4:00 saying he is for a bailout. Not sure if he has flipped since then.
Couldn't be.
It's still September. : )
That sounds like a good idea, but aren't the Clintons up to their eyeballs in this too? They have connections through Gorelick and others than link them directly to the origins of this disaster. Any investigation that would bring down the Chosen One would catch them too.
I am sure this will bear fruit. /s
Just listening to the hearing from today by Paulson and Bernake. They have little to truly say. And don’t seem to make much sense to me. They sound like they’re spinning their answers to placate the congress questions/concerns. It doesn’t sound right at all.
Unfortunately, cases like this usually end up with the investigators tiptoeing gingerly around the politicians and arresting the bookkeeper.
Piano wire would be better and wouldreally teach their fellow greedy crooked ceo's a lesson after it's shown on live on TV.
Might make them think twice about ripping shareholders off.
