mmm when looking up Kenya last fall looking for material on the missionaries the Kenya economy is based on two main areas....spices and “safari” trips through the game perserves.
We are seeing more pieces of the puzzle put into place.
FLASHBACK (vying for House Speaker revisited):
According to Blagojevich’s recently released book, The Governor, Blagojevich and Emanuel spoke Nov. 7 and 8. They discussed Blagojevich appointing a “placeholder,” for the congressional seat, according to the book.
At the time, Emanuel also pushed Valerie Jarrett for the U.S. Senate seat Obama once held. An Obama report detailing contacts between his staff and Blagojevich indicates Emanuel spoke to the ex-governor once or twice between Nov. 6 and Nov. 8 about Emanuel’s seat, as well as the Senate seat.
A conversation concerning Emanuel’s congressional seat was caught on a secret FBI wiretap, according to a reference in the criminal complaint filed in the Blagojevich case. That could prove to be an embarrassment to Emanuel, should the recording be played at Blagojevich’s trial next June.
Claypool’s announcement that he would not seek Emanuel’s seat came Nov. 12, just days after the discussion between Emanuel and Blagojevich.
On the same day as Claypool’s announcement, Jarrett publicly pulled herself out of contention for the Senate seat. She is now a top adviser to the president.
Emanuel had hoped Blagojevich had the authority to appoint a candidate to fill out the remaining weeks of Emanuel’s term before a new Congress was sworn in the following January, sources said. The temporary appointment would give Claypool a leg up before any special election took place.
But, unlike the Senate seat, which is filled by an appointment by the governor, a vacant congressional seat must be filled through a special election.
It’s the trip to Africa and the Blago arrest.
The timing....
I’m with Blago. Play ALL the tapes.
He’s been parading around cocky as all get out and he’s appearing on BOR’s tomorrow night.
