Obama team probe of Obama team finds no Obama team impropriety (Believe it or not the LA Times)
The Los Angeles Times ^ | 12/23/2008 | Andrew Malcolm

Posted on 12/23/2008 3:44:26 PM PST by Smogger

The Barack Obama presidential transition office today finally released its own report on its own internal investigation of its own contacts with legally challenged Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich. And you'll be comforted to know the Obama folks found no impropriety whatsoever by Obama folks.

So go back to wrapping holiday presents or pretending you're working at your desk and checking out Obama's important abs. All is well with the coming World of Change.

Speaking of tidy packages, the five-page report was not released in the morning as things are when public attention is desired.

It was released at 4:30 Eastern time to provide minimal exam time before the network news. But that's probably a coincidence.

Captures the thought process of the decadent Left rather well.

I watched with incredulity as Krauthammer proclaimed - it is over, Obama is cleared and now we can move on.

Right. Like these highly political, self-absorbed guys (& gals) don’t gossip about each other INCESSANTLY - and exchange breathless emails & phone calls, when one says to several others, “I want 50K dollars for this f’ing appt.”

OF COURSE THEY DO.

OF COURSE BO AND HIS CRONIES KNEW ABOUT THESE DISCUSSIONS/OFFERS.

Mom, we kids investigated and none of us had a party last night while you were out, so we’re not responsible for the trashed house and the empty beer kegs.

” I watched with incredulity as Krauthammer proclaimed - it is over, Obama is cleared and now we can move on. ‘

First time I watch FOX in months and I tune in to see that agitprop.
Barnes, however, was having none of it.
Haven’t finished watching NBC Nightly News, but, so far-they haven’t gone in the tank like FOX.
Which is amazing.
NBC did not absolve BO, Axelrod and the Rahmster like most of Hume’s panel.
“ BO was interviewed by the federal prosecutor, with his lawyer present ,” which conjured up images of Clinton and Ken Starr.
Or Tony Soprano.
NBC also played a clip of BO saying after the election
“ that he would be hands off with Blago and obviously he wasn’t..”
Chuck Todd is up next-he’ll probably try and do a Krauthammer.

Suprisingly critical report from the LA Times political blogger.

I wonder how long it took them to figure out the "BLue Heart Jewel" craze was crap, too.

Meanwhile, Governor Blago’s team has released a report absolving him of any wrongdoing... We are now waiting to hear from the Charles Manson team’s report...

LOL ... and the beat goes on.

I rubbed my eyes, and read it again. Yep. The LA Times.

Hell hasn't frozen over, but it sure is cold in here!

Andrew Malcolm is a very intelligent guy with a ton of experience and a more critical eye than a lot of other reporters, and he's also a really nice guy to talk to in person. Good to see this article from him.

Marxists love the "right winger" plants who herd the right winger sheep so much better than the leftists.

try telling your IRS auditor that you have audited your own taxes and all is fine. LOL

Get this civics lesson, you immigrants, legal or otherwise: we have a tradition in this country that once a crook gets elected to a high office, he becomes untouchable and is, as we say in America, in the money!

Bubba Toon must be green with envy now - this team managed to create a scandal before moving in the White House.

Obama reports he did nothing wrong.

Blogo reports he did nothing wrong.

JJJ reports he did nothing wrong.

I guess Fitz just got it all wrong.

Obama should fire him.

The Bush admin should make a quick review and put out a report that they did absolutely nothing wrong in the last eight years and that no one is guilty of anything.

(Of course we know they DID blow a number of things, including a lot of our hard-earned cash, but still, if Barky can do it, please spare us the dem-sponsored war crime trials.)

Obozo’s probe was only to investigate what they needed to cover up.
