how can an internal report be an audit?

[calex59]

Yep, I am going to clear myself on the next IRS audit(I have never had one but if one comes up I now know I can clear myself), and if anything else comes up I can clear me on that also.

[ConorMacNessa]

An obvious self-serving whitewash!

Lamh Foistenach Abu!

[aliquando]

I find myself “not guilty” court adjourned!

[skeeter]

Bet Obama is relieved that the results of the investigation he did uncovered no wrongdoing.

[screaminsunshine]

Of course not. Obama did not even know all those crooks like Blago and Rezco and all the crooks in Chicago. Obama is not a crook. I saw it on TV.

Fox...henhouse.

President-elect Barack Obama's transition office said...

All that needs to be said.

[Will88]

“Mr. Emanuel has so far declined to comment.”

Smart guy, better be certain what’s on all those recordings before he comments on the situation.

[Popman]

The five-page report

A five page report???

Heck, if this was a pubbie, the NYT's front page article would be five pages long smearing the party and person

Audit Finds Obama Staff Had No Improper Contact With Blagojevich

Can't Obama at least have the opportunity (although he still resides in the office of the president elect) to look into the camera's of the MSM with a crooked finger and state "I had no improper contact with that Governor....Blago.....jevich!"?

[tarpit]

So Mr. Balanoff, who is not a member of the Governor's staff and did not purport to speak for the Governor told Ms. Jarrett that the Governor raised with him the question of whether the Governor might be considered as a possible candidate to head up the HHS, and Mr. Balanoff told Ms. Jarrett the he told the Governor that it would never happen.

So who is Tom Balanoff and who told him it would never happen?

[Kent C]

“Messrs. Blagojevich and Harris were arrested on Dec. 9 for allegedly trying to trade or sell the Illinois Senate seat”

TO WHOM??? Nobody!?!?

[Uncle Miltie]

Why does even the WSJ take seriously a review of 0bamaniacs by 0bamaniacs?

[trustandobey]

4 phone conversations? According to Drudge archive 12/17 http://www.suntimes.com/news/sneed/1333057,CST-NWS-SNEED16.article
Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds — dealing with his boss’ vacant Senate seat!

[nmh]

Wow, I'm so relieved.

Did Obama write the report too?

[jmcenanly]

If a Republican tried this sort of thing, it would be trumpeted as cover-up and given a name with a ‘gate’ suffix.

[JimSEA]

Maybe I am feeling ornery today but, This might be generally accurate as far as it goes. I'd hate to think that someone smart enough to get them selves elected and who come from the cesspool of Chicago politics would be so stupid as to get themselves caught on tape. Especially when everyone except the idiot governor was looking for hidey holes.

[kennedy]

President-elect Barack Obama's transition office said in a report released Tuesday that its staff had no inappropriate communications with the office of Democratic Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich, who is at the center of a corruption probe.

"We have investigated ourselves, and found no suspects." I bet not a few Cosa Nostra families wish they could have done that.
