Obama staff had no corrupt contact with embattled governor, report says

The Guardian ^ | Tuesday 23 December | Suzanne Goldenberg

[PasorBob]

Craig's assertions that the transition team was unaware of Blagojevich's efforts to sell off Obama's old seat do not correspond to the transcripts of wiretapped conversations released by the FBI two weeks ago in which the governor repeatedly swears and expresses frustration in his attempts to strike a deal on the Senate seat.

This will be a problem

[Prole]

Where are those FBI tapes gonna go after inauguration?

Into the furnace, that's where.

Where are Rezko and Blagojevich gonna go after inauguration?

Into Davy Jones' locker, that's where.

Sheesh, what a scary four years this is gonna be.

[LibLieSlayer]

Nixon's internal investigation report said much the same... maybe nothing will come of this... but perjury is the Fed's most cherished charge.

Sheesh, what a scary four years this is gonna be.

Our least experienced president will face the greatest challenges since the Civil War. We will survive and America will be disgusted with the Democrats for a generation. Keep the faith, baby!

[Ezekiel]

Sheesh, what a scary four years this is gonna be.

Look at the bright side...

Matthew 24:22 And except those days should be shortened, there should no flesh be saved: but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.

It is more likely that they will languish for a while, there will be little or no jail for Rezko and Blago will stay Governor as long as he keeps his mouth shut. The FBI tapes have already been forgotten, by the same electorate, as illuminated by Zogby, who observed that The Republicans controlled Congress for the past two years and McCain attained his Senate seat by disqualifying his competition.

The fix was in long ago, and Fitzgerald is is a pivotal cog. It is all about money, and much of that is likely to come from The Middle East, as for Clinton's library. The home run hit by the Democrats will insure that nothing they do will result in convictions. They do, however, risk civil unrest as a result of their stifling of capitalism with our economy foundering. Their media, so enabled by McCain Feingold, is disappearing into bankruptcy. It remains to be seen whether a domestic police force can keep the peace, but Obama showed his hand, and no one cared, so we can expect Obama’s foot soldiers. Will they wear brown shirts, or green ones?

[Misterioso]

The article should begin at the beginning. You left off two paragraphs. Bone up.

[WilliamofCarmichael]

“Now you listen to me. I am going to say this again: I did not have discourse with that man, Governor Blagojevich.”

[Prole]

Given that 80 percent of America's military voted against Obama, I believe they will turn their turrets on him before they turn them on innocent US civilians.

[Rocky]

Quick, someone issue a report to exonerate the president-elect. First one to do it gets a fat reward, Chicago style.

[rawcatslyentist]

>"the transition team was unaware of Blagojevich's efforts to sell off Obama's old seat"

[theDentist]

This report was made by Greg Craig, who’s on his cabinet team as White House Counsel. “Head Rat innocent of stealing cheese” claims fat rat over his cheese and crackers dinner.

[freekitty]

Oh that Craig guy is one to trust. Sure. Isn’t he the one that put Elian back in the hands of the enemy?

He strikes me as a guy who is anything but a good guy. He has no respect for authority or rules; and probably no respect for himself.

[freekitty]

In other words, you can sum this Craig guy in in one word.

“THUG”.

[Red_Devil 232]

Fitz and his team interigated Obambi last Thursday.

Did Fitz ask Obambi for any Identification?

[MagnoliaB]

“Craig’s assertions that the transition team was unaware of Blagojevich’s efforts to sell off Obama’s old seat do not correspond to the transcripts of wiretapped conversations released by the FBI two weeks ago in which the governor repeatedly swears and expresses frustration in his attempts to strike a deal on the Senate seat.”

The way I see it, Blago thought all his past association with BO was going to get him a fat deal on the vacant seat by putting someone in there that BO wanted. He obviously hasn’t been paying attention to the fact that BO throws everyone under the bus once he no longer needs them. BO’s team was smart enough to not make a deal, hence the swearing and frustration by Blago. It still doesn’t excuse BO for not going to the authorities himself to turn this guy in.

Oh, come on. It’s Odumbo’s own internal “investigation.” It is wholly void of objectivity. It’s akin to Al Capone saying “I heard the feds had some questions about my taxes. I had my staff look into it and everything’s okay. Now leave me alone.”

[ought-six]

“We will survive and America will be disgusted with the Democrats for a generation. Keep the faith, baby!”

Sure hope so!

[unspun]

Self incrimination. Obama was just interviewed by Fitzgerald. The marxstream media sure has been quiet about that.

[ought-six]

“...so we can expect Obama’s foot soldiers. Will they wear brown shirts, or green ones?”

Brown, green; it doesn’t matter. They will be easily identifiable. And when the stormtroopers start their ramoage, the color of their shirts will aid in target acquisition.

[ought-six]

“Given that 80 percent of America’s military voted against Obama, I believe they will turn their turrets on him before they turn them on innocent US civilians.”

The military takes their oath to the Constitution, not to the president or his or her administration. At least one half of the military will side with the People.

[REPANDPROUDOFIT]

Hmmmm? I wonder why the Dims didn’t just let the bUSH White House do its own investigation of the Valerie Plame SCANDAL!

[G.Mason]

" ... The fix was in long ago, and Fitzgerald is is a pivotal cog ..."

Sad but true.

Fitzgerald stopped the investigation before it dragged the little zer0 down the sink hole.

Hell, Blago won't do any time, and he may even keep the governorship.

[screaminsunshine]

Fitz busted up the ring of crooks too soon to save the Crats. He is a Crat fixer.

Any reponsible headline would have started:
“Non-Objective Report Says...”

[Mark was here]

“Now you listen to me. I am going to say this again: I did not have discourse with that man, Governor Blagojevich.”

Oh ... but what did he have?

Headline in Phildelphia Inquirer, “internal study clear Obama”.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

but perjury is the Fed's most cherished charge.

It didn't hurt Clinton much.

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

So why did he even bother with the whole thing in the first place?

[Beckwith]

...and Bill Clinton did not have sex with that woman — Monica Lewinsky.

[Dutch Boy]

"We will survive and America will be disgusted with the Democrats for a generation. Keep the faith, baby!"

I thought the same thing many times since the early Clinton years. I am shocked every time the same old corrupt and/or incompetent democrats keep getting elected. RINO's too.

[sausageseller]

However, Emanuel detected no attempts by the governor to extract benefit, Craig said. "There was no reason for Rahm to expect that there was anything going on - at least with him - and he knew of no other effort to negotiate a quid pro quo," said Craig,

Yea Mr Cragie and the moon is made of cheese too!

[G.Mason]

I'm sure I don't know.

Fitz spewed all over the MSM about Scooter Libbey, as he did Blago. The only difference will be that Blago will ride away from this, where Libbey was convicted of forgetting a conversation.

Fitz knew who the leaker was all along in that sham Libbey trial.

[drubyfive]

Given that 80 percent of America's military voted against Obama

Officers not enlisted

[LibLieSlayer]

You are correct... all is lost... we shouldn't even discuss dims and their corruption... nothing ever comes of it so let's just allow them to be corrupt throughout the rest of History... shall we?

LLS

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

Maybe the day will come when those of us understand what is really going on will say "enough is enough" and do something about it.

I know I'm getting sick of the RATS corruption and criminality and their never being held accountable.

They're in the process of stealing another election in MN. I'm ready to march on MN.

The article should begin at the beginning. You left off two paragraphs. Bone up.

Please look up the word "excerpt".

[PasorBob]

At least Fox News gets it. They release a self-exhonerating report just before Christmas Eve when neither major player is in the continental US.

[PasorBob]

"the transition team was unaware of Blagojevich's efforts to sell off Obama's old seat"

This is what will come back to bite them. I thought that maybe they had ratted Blago out. That would have given them cover. I think denying knowledge of pay for play altogether will be refuted in the tapes and by email and by testimony.

[LibLieSlayer]

Let me know... I’ll go with you!!! Merry Christmas!

LLS

[Misterioso]

The excerpt should be the lead, basically for clarity. Why not go for that, instead of obscurity?

[Conservativegreatgrandma]

I’d love to do it. I’m so sick of being walked on by RATS and the MSM. I’m not that far, either. Remember all the demonstrations during the FL recount when the RATS were attempting to steal the election? Republicans rose up then and by golly we need to do more of it.

[PasorBob]

The excerpt should be the lead, basically for clarity. Why not go for that, instead of obscurity?

Because the part of the article that was different than others was that they pointed out that the statement contradicted the tapes.
