Mediaite Exclusive: Censored Portions of Blago Subpoena May Implicate Team Obama
Mediaite ^ | 04/22/2010 | Frances Martel

Posted on 04/22/2010 1:14:12 PM PDT by OldDeckHand

Today in United States v. Rod Blagojevich: following up on his 2008 claims that then-Senator Barack Obama was one of a few people who could testify to his innocence, his defense team issued a motion today to subpoena the President to testify in court. Most of the juiciest bits involving Obama’s role in choosing a new Senator are blacked out, or so we thought. It turns a lucky PDF glitch gave us VIP access. Who wouldn’t want to see the blacked out part? Let’s investigate!

Most of the non-blacked out portions of the motion are predictably tame general knowledge: the seat in dispute belonged to the President; the FBI did speak with the President about this case at some point in time. A “labor union official” close to the President (who may be SEIU President Andy Stern) is said to contradict public statements on the case by Obama directly. The credibility of money man Tony Rezko being crucial to the case, the defense would like the President to testify about it. The defense also spends significant amount of time bringing up previous cases of sitting presidents being subpoenaed to testify in relevant cases. What the defense didn’t want you to see is the allegation that an Obama “supporter” offered Blagojevich “fundraising” in exchange for the seat. In other words: Blagojevich didn’t try to sell the seat; an Obama “supporter” tried to buy it.

The only thing I worry about is that Obama will get impeached due to the Blago trial instead of the truth coming out regarding his fraudulent claims of Natural Born Citizenship. Perhaps this is how the Fed. Gov’t/Courts will get rid of the problem without having to address it?

Oh, it Will be addressed, make no mistake about it - in Office, out of Office, sometime in the future, Obama's Eligibility Question will be answered. You can guarantee that one. It's the question of the Century! Inquiring minds want to know! Others feel it's a National Emergency as all of the bills he's signed, the executive orders, any treaties, etc, all Null and Void if he's not a Natural Born Citizen. My take it they're all Null and Void until we see the Long Form and he proves he's a Natural Born Citizen. BTW, has anyone filed to Not participate in the Health Care Bill until we see the Long Form type of lawsuit?

Doesn’t #23 imply that Obama is the “public official” mentioned in #22?

Take this long? They wanted to wait until his poll numbers went down. The question is who has the real power in this game?

Clintons and Fitzpatrick?
Rahm?
Hussein
Daley

I think it is Daley and his machine. Daley and the Clintons with Fitzpatrick might be enough.

The PUMAs are not friends of Obama. And, I doubt this was orchestrated to wait for Obama’s numbers to fall. Maybe you’re right, but the point was that the PUMAs were envisioning the President-Elect arrested alongside Blago. Not that Obama would be “clean” until the trial itself a year and a half later.

... I think we now know why Andy Stern resigned from the SEIU.

But, do we know the topic of conversation during his weekly visits to the WH? Is he following orders?

“...do we know the topic of conversation during his weekly visits to the WH?..”

After seeing these transcripts it is easy to guess: what do we do now, and how do we stay out of jail?

We are not talking about honorable men here. Somebody is going down, but neither would take the fall for the other.

"Where does Jesse’s son fit in here???"

Well, I think that is to be determined. But, I think it's fair to say that he's knee-deep in this mess, and might be in come criminal peril himself. It should be fun to watch.
