This is a rush transcript from "America's News HQ," December 11, 2008. This copy may not be in its final form and may be updated.
MARTHA MACCALLUM, HOST: Well, an aspect of the Blagojevich story that is getting the microscope today is a rather revealing conference call that took place on November the 11, just several days after the election. In it, Blagojevich, the governor of Illinois, said he wanted financial assistance for his family as payback for making somebody the new senator from Illinois.
FOX's Washington deputy managing editor, Bill Sammon, joins me now.
There is a treasure trove of stuff in there, Bill, and a lot of talk about all this today. But, you know, what do you make of this conference call, which was — in the participants were his wife, his top advisors, and then a number of Washington officials yet to be named, but there are folks who were in on this and we don't know who they were yet?

You mean, use Blank-O as bait to catch, THE O? I thought that was JJ and JJJ job!
BTW I’m waiting for Mrs. Blank-O to be arrested. Her real estate company was used by Resco (her only client) to sell property to the Obama’s and other who wished favors.

Federal Sources: Fitzgerald Held Off Blagojevich Bust to Protect Obama Election Chances

By the way Michelle Robinson Obama’s ancestor are from Friendfield plantation in SC, which is in the same county that Jesse (Robinson*) Jackson came from.
*His biological dad was Noah Robinson. WE ARE FAMILY!
Chicago has more incest than the Ozarks. Michele and Mrs. Blago may be related in some very interesting ways as well. Lets not let this chance to expose Obama to slip away.
I have read this on a few threads. Does anyone have a source or link. This is a pretty powerful connection between Obama and Blago and Rezko if true.
Keep the pressure on:
I saw that this morning and if true, this is very disturbing and we can look forward to pure corruption everywhere in our government for the next four years!
BTW..Where is the US AG? Missing in action it would appear....(eye roll)
ARGHHHHHHHH.......
he is already in panic mode. he now realizes government has so many laws and so much information, almost everything is going to com back and be a problem.
We have at least a couple more years of this, with new allegations and crises every day.
Enjoy.
Well, you know they will say Obama wasn’t there, in person. Because as we all know, we do things exclusively by face to face meetings that are taped. That’s why phone calls, emissaries, blackberries, internet, go-betweens, internet emails, mobile texting, and skype are so damn useless.
...”Because if they didn’t go straight to the FBI the only logical conclusion is that they entertained the idea of buying it”...
Is that what this implies?

In the information concerning the wiretaps in the complaint, it’s clear that Blago was VERY anxious to speak to either Jarrett or the Pres.-Elect Advisor( Emmanuel) in the days between Nov. 10-13 about the creation of a 501(c)(4) with money from Buffet or other rich Obama associates which Blago could run, but there is not information in the complaint that Blago actually did communicate with Jarrett or the Pres.-Elect Advisor.
BUT, the wiretaps continued past Nov. 13, but information about wiretaps after Nov. 13 are not included in the complaint. Did Blago communicate, either directly or through an intermediate with Jarrett and/or Emmanuel after Nov. 13?
Obama said yesterday he is going to find out exactly what communications staff members had with Blago and report the information publicly in a week. They’re going to have to tell everything or tell nothing because they don’t know what might be on those wiretaps after Nov. 13.
>>If they didn’t inform the FBI that Blago was selling the seat, are they part of the conspiracy? Part of the coverup? Obstructing justice? Failing their responsibilities to the people and the justice system?<<
No. They will walk away fresh as a daisy legally. Unless Blagojevich (who will not be so lucky) starts to sing and dance for the FBI about what he knows. Then he may very well be able to put quite a few of Obama’s people in hot water in exchange for his skin.
Found several news articles etc when I was googling....Used several entries including Broadway Bank, Resco,Patricia BlagoJevich,Obama etc. There’s alot more out there that is not getting MSM or even FR’s attention. Over 3,000 hits. Happy hunting.
Here is a sample of one....Merry Fistmas
Abraham H. Miller of Pajamas Media is doing his job.
Chicago blogs are chirping away about Tony Rezko’s meetings with the federal prosecutor. Tony is singing like a songbird. You’d think that the electronic media would be more interested in what Tony might be saying than in how much it cost Sarah Palin to fly her children to state events, something every other Alaskan governor seems to have done.
Tony, you will remember, was Barack Obama’s financial mentor, the guy who subsidized the purchase of Obama’s Hyde Park mansion, and the guy who created the “pay for play” hospital construction scheme that was the end result of legislation Obama sponsored in the Illinois legislature.
Tony was overdrawn $450,000 at a Chicago bank with alleged ties to organized crime. You’d think CNN might send Anderson Cooper to Chicago to investigate why the bank doesn’t have the same kind of check verification technology you encounter at your local supermarket.
And here is another hint for Anderson’s story: What Illinois senator, currently seeking higher office, kept his senatorial campaign funds there and why? Rest assured, it wasn’t because he enjoyed the rush-hour commute across town from his Hyde Park mansion to make deposits.
Chicago blogs are chirping away...Where is the rest of the media? Even Chicago newspapers are getting amnesia over Rezko. Two weeks ago the Chicago Tribune, the paper that broke the still-unexplained real estate deal between convicted felon Tony Rezko and Obama, did not even mention Obama’s jailbird buddy as it endorsed The One for president.
The bank Miller mentioned is Broadway Bank, owned by the family of Illinois State Treausurer Alexi Giannoulias, whom Obama endorsed over the party slated candidate two years ago. Let me make this clear—there is no way “The Boy Banker” would’ve won the primary had it not been for Obama’s endorsement. No way. Obama also appeared in a television commercial touting Alexi. After Alexi’s win, it was revealed that he approved two multi-million dollar loans to mobster Michael “Jaws” Giorango.
Post some links! Lets be the one stop shopping center for truth about Obama.
Freep mail.
jrooney, did you vote for a true conservative? Or are you a closet lib?
Sorry, but your wonderful "faux conservative" approach hasn't been doing much to stop the Dems, has it?
Now that GOP is down to only 27% of registered voters, and the "Dems" and "Leaning Dem" add up to more than 51% (without considering the neutral Independents), may we please take a more successful approach instead of just running our country into the ground and giving more and more power to the government and the Left?
