Blagojevich Dangerous While On the Ropes
The Chicago Daily Observer ^ | May 3, 2010 | Thomas F. Roeser

Posted on 05/03/2010 7:57:33 AM PDT by PBRCat

The full transcript…without the redactions…shows these things…quite injurious to Obama:

That the president may have lied about conversations with convicted fraudster the incarcerated Tony Rezko, his former friend, fund-raiser and neighbor that Rezko never passed along a lobbyist’s offer to then state Senator Obama about placing a gambling casino in suburban Rosemont which Rezko could have made a killing on. The proffer was for Rezko to hold a fundraiser for Obama in return for Obama’s support of a favorable official action on gaming legislation. Obama has denied ever receiving such an offer. Says the previously redacted portion: The defense has a good faith belief that this public official is Barack Obama.

That Obama may have overtly recommended Valerie Jarrett to Blago for appointment to his Senate seat contradicting Obama who insisted neither he nor his staff had any input with Blago on the matter..

That an Obama supporter may have offered quid pro quo on the Jarrett appointment, specifically fund-raising in exchange for the Jarrett appointment.

That contrary to what Obama’s aides told the FBI, he offered a quid pro quo to Blago on a Jarrett senate appointment, i.e. fund-raising for Blago in exchange for her appointment.

Blago needs to push this to the Supremes - Obama will fold and let him off, somehow.

Obama was a CIA operative who used Columbia University as a cover to go to Pakistan in 1981 when the CIA and the Mujahideen worked together against the Soviet invasion. Obama supplied arms, logistics, and money using his Muslim background.

This must be the week for wacky conspiracy theories. They're all over FR right now. Settle down, folks. Let's concentrate on defeating the leftists in November.

I have hope for the Manning trial. It would be a perfect place for Blago to spill a few beans, should he decide to show up.

Yeah, Nixon was just a natural-born citizen and a public servant. He had to testify.
