President-elect Barack Obama’s aides plan to release a report this week absolving incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel of any impropriety in his contacts with the disgraced Illinois governor’s office, Democratic sources tell Politico.

Allah be praised.
HHMMMM....so when is President Bush going to release a report absolving Scooter Libby of any wrong doing???? (THIS IS SUCH A JOKE!)
well, it’s like a messiah to grant absolution.
Captain Marx will set a record for pardons and other such actions.....after all, he has many thugs to take care of. And his agenda will generate the need.
Obama is already showing himself to be a master of probing self-examination:
the same reaction they would have with a Republican.
And thus it begins! Of course the Democrats in Congress needed a partner in the White House to continue their reign of scrupulousness!
I wonder if Captain Marx will “absolve” himself of taking the president’s job without meeting the Constitutional requirements ????
Surprise, surprise.
Finally I can get a good night’s sleep.
So let it be written. So let it be done.
With Rahm he sort of tried the first step by saying there was no contact and then ammending it to "no inappropriate" contact by "staff". Now he is saying it is all nonsense and people have their facts wrong. Will he get to tossing Rahm under the bus? And will the media just look the other way again as they did with Ayers, Right, Rezko, etc?
Have we ever had a President that pardoned someone before he was even sworn in?
Until the transcripts of the tapes are released (other than the snippets in the Fitz complaint) Obama can claim that Emanuel did nothing wrong because...Emanuel said he did nothing wrong. When the empirical truth of the actual recordings/transcript are known, if Emanuel is found to have lied then Obama can claim...Emanuel lied.
There will be no questions from the media.
O will be busy eating his waffles and RE will be busy being a father.
Good news actually. Let Mr. Obama (bail out) spend political capital to save this guy. It will be like throwing good money after bad.
Obama did not indict him, the FBI did.
Are they now going to be forced to absolve this thief?
I can now celebrate Christmas in peace, knowing that Rahm has been absolved.
Within the second minute of the Inaugural Address...
Healed him, eh? What god-like powers!
Interesting distinction.
If they had exonerated him, they would have found him guiltless.
But if they ‘absolve’ him - they recognise that he has done wrong, but they forgive him.
“I wonder if Captain Marx will “absolve” himself of taking the president’s job without meeting the Constitutional requirements ????”

Looks like the cowards on the SCOTUS have already saved him the trouble.
I don’t think the ‘0bama Team’ has the authority to ‘absolve’ Emanuel of anything.
“Until the transcripts of the tapes are released (other than the snippets in the Fitz complaint) Obama can claim that Emanuel did nothing wrong because...Emanuel said he did nothing wrong. When the empirical truth of the actual recordings/transcript are known, if Emanuel is found to have lied then Obama can claim...Emanuel lied.”
I think the slimey Emanuel is far too cunning for this to happen. My bet is that any conversations he had with Obama on this matter were covertly recorded on Emanuel’s IPod...
With no authority.
It’ll be very interesting to see just how far Fitz takes all of this. And I’m sure we can depend upon our MSM to get and play all of the tapes!
Has Bozo said exactly how he is going to absolve this guy of crimes if the FBI has him on tape making a deal? I know he can pardon him after he is convicted(IF he is convicted) but to say Rahm is absolved now is just idiotic! What a frickin' clown this country has elected.
I absolve thee. Yeah thats the ticket.
Blogo was just talking to himself on all those tapes.
On January 20th all 93 US Attorneys including Patrick Fitzgerald will be submitting their resignations to President Obama. This is traditional when a new President takes office. Obama will then decide who to rehire and who to replace. Patrick Fitzgerald wants to be rehired.
It would not surprise me in the least if the transcripts that are eventually released to the public/media back up Obama’s claim of no complicity for Emanuel.
What a relief. I was so afraid Obama would report that his top aide was guilty of persistent payola and graft and should receive 20-life.
Why? So that when the real prosecuter’s report/cae comes out that the media can then point to the phoeny oneObama releases and argue tht it is in confict with the original report? Sorry I’ll wait for the real report.
Thinking out side the box a bit.
Fitz may have pulled the plug sooner rather than later not to protect Obama, but to protect his mole.
With so many of Obama’s friends coming from, Iran, Irag, Syria, Jordan, Serbia, India, etc.; Rahm-E, Isreal,might have good reason to be that mole.
“Fitz may have pulled the plug sooner rather than later not to protect Obama, but to protect his mole.”
That’s certainly thinking outside the box! There’s clearly disinformation being leaked, so at this juncture, we don’t know whether the account of 21 conversations is true. If it is, one would have thought Fitz would have pulled the plug sooner. It’s hard to picture 21 separate conversations without ANY deal-making afoot, unless Rahm liked chit-chatting with Blago’s boys about the weather: somehow I don’t picture that... :-)
“Blogo was just talking to himself on all those tapes.”
I heard he just dialed a wrong number. Anything Rahm was heard to say on that call was in response to a conversation RE was having with someone else in the same room with him. But only Rahm’s voice got picked up at Blago’s end cuz Rahm’s cell phone was in his pocket and inadvertently got switched on. It’s all just a big coincidence and misunderstanding. Nothing to see here.
May have been too close to being entrapment and Fitz didn’t want to endanger other things he had on Blank-O????
Something is just not right and after reading the attached have become even more skeptic of everything in press/on line etc.
IMO Both sides are using “mind games”. It’s all a charade.
