[Red Badger]

78 Pages of corruption by the numbers...........

[Red Badger]

A long read, but "staggering" was being nice.............

[Skid Marx]

I’ll have to start this later. 78 pages is a lot of beef.

[Doogle]

...the media will pick out the paragraphs that keep Obambo clear, even though Blago’s “F”and “MF” barrage throughout the recordings were directed at Obambo.....yeah there were no “direct” contacts....so how could you connect the two? *smiles*

[teletech]

Only a 2 count indictment? I hope they carry lots of years per count if he is found guilty.

[maine-iac7]

from one article: "The affidavit said Blagojevich also discussed getting a substantial salary for himself at a nonprofit foundation or an organization affiliated with labor unions. It said Blagojevich also talked about getting his wife placed on corporate boards where she might get $150,000 a year in director's fees.

And Rezko, of course, was a comrade in arms.

ring bells? There was another wife getting over $300,000 on a board.

[Prole]

"I've got this thing and it's f***ing golden, and, uh, uh, I'm just not giving it up for f***in' nothing. I'm not gonna do it. And I can always use it. I can parachute me there."

Told by two other advisers he has to "suck it up" for two years, the FBI says it heard Blagojevich complain he has to give this "motherf***er [the President-elect] his Senator. F*** him. For nothing? F*** him."

"Before I just give f***ing [Senate Candidate l] a f***ing Senate seat and I don't get anything." - Blagojevich

Start on this page of smoking gun, lots of references to the “president elect”!

Just finished reading this dissertation on classic corruption, and quite frankly, I don’t see how all of this could NOT lead directly to Obama and his Chicago posses, especially with Rezko’s intense involvement with both the governor and the Messiah.

Only a 2 count indictment? I hope they carry lots of years per count if he is found guilty.

They said on our local Chicago tv that this was just to get him arrested, they expect a lot more indictments before this is over!

[Ben Hecks]

Wonder if this is causing any puckering.......

This affidavit does not include all calls dealing with the corrupt efforts of ROD BLAGOJEVICH, JOHN HARRIS, and others to misuse the power of ROD BLAGOJEVICH to appoint a United States Senator for the personal gain of ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his family, nor does this affidavit set forth other calls where ROD BLAGOJEVICH and others discussed a possible appointment to the Senate seat

AGREE, notice how MUM Obama has been today?????

Always hold something in reserve in case of an OJ jury...........

That sounds like the Chicago thing to do.

Also, treacherous yuppie liberal types get themselvesappointed old charities meant to help the poor and dole out money to pals and flaky educational projects, gosh, even use some money to invent a carbon exchange!

That would be Obama and the Joyce Foundation and the CCX, right?

I want to learn more about Chicago—it’s interesting!

[blondee123]

the media will pick out the paragraphs that keep Obambo clear

Fox is bringing up O's association with Rezko & Blago, plus our local tv in Illinois are doing it too!

It's going to be difficult to keep that under wraps, this is too big of a story now!

[Ben Hecks]

Interesting statement here:

I wonder who else was involved in those discussions?

[Ben Hecks]

Sorry for the double post.

[Doogle]

this is too big of a story now!

..watch, remember the line "he's too big to fail"

[penelopesire]

GREAT CATCH BUMP!!

“This affidavit does not include all calls dealing with the corrupt efforts of ROD BLAGOJEVICH, JOHN HARRIS, and others to misuse the power of ROD BLAGOJEVICH to appoint a United States Senator for the personal gain of ROD BLAGOJEVICH and his family, nor does this affidavit set forth other calls where ROD BLAGOJEVICH and others discussed a possible appointment to the Senate seat”

[blondee123]

Hmmm, on page 64, (link at bottom #11) of smoking gun, states Blaog’s wife was also on the 2 hour call trying to get some position for herself with higher pay!

[Petronski]

In searching the complaint for a particular four letter combination that begins with f-u (in order) and ends with the letters (in order) c-k, I find eighteen occurrences of that combination, either as a complete word or as part of a larger word, including one reference (rhyming with brother-clucker) referring to the President-elect.

[Doogle]

...including one reference (rhyming with brother-clucker) referring to the President-elect.

..ahhh just buds being buds

[Conservative Vermont Vet]

INQUIRING MINDS WANT TO KNOW WHY PAT FITZ-A*SHOLE SHUT DOWN THIS INVESTIGATION SO QUICKLY, WHEN HE TOOK OVER 2 YEARS TO NAIL SOMEONE (ANYONE) AFTER HE LEARNED WHO HAD LEAKED 007-WANNABE'S (LAME)NAME???

Something smells here!!!

[Red Badger]

I wonder who else was involved in those discussions?

Just a guess on my part, but Rahm-bo is the most likely................

[Petronski]

What did I tell you about
don't say nothin' on the telephone?
Huh?

Huh?

[Red Badger]

He covered that in the presser.......

[blondee123]

Check out this page on smoking gun, talks about the Washington guy telling Blago that an appointment to the Change to Win board, as it would have fewer fingerprints on the President Elects involvement!!!! http://www.thesmokinggun.com/archive/years/2008/1209081rod15.html

[Red Badger]

Rahm Emmanuel probably set this guy up BIGTIME................

[KingOfVagabonds]

This is an unbelievable read. Rod Blag is a truly horrible person.

[KingOfVagabonds]

ROD
Hilarious excerpt: “BLAGOJEVICH has spent significant time weighing the option of appointing himself to the
open Senate seat, and has expressed a variety of reasons for doing so, including frustration
at being “stuck” as governor, a belief that he will be able to obtain greater resources if he is
indicted as a sitting Senator as opposed to a sitting governor, and a desire to remake his
image in consideration of a possible run for President in 2016”

[Arizona Carolyn]

He just stated that he was stunned ... knew nothing about any of this... typical Obama hype and spin.

[teletech]

They said on our local Chicago tv that this was just to get him arrested, they expect a lot more indictments before this is over!

One can only hope Obama is going to be indicted but I really doubt it. Daley will go down before Obama does.

I sure hope they have more. I can see some RAT judge tossing out this indictment.

[Virginia Ridgerunner]

Talk about sheer greed and delusions of grandeur. Blag in 2016? That’s hilarious!

[dashing doofus]

I read most of it.

I believe Blago has what it takes to be an excellent ambassador to the UN. He has the right temperment to deal with all the foreign luminaries there, and he has expressed interest in an ambassadorship.

I think he would put Bolton to shame. I think we need Blago to stand up to Hugo Chavez and that Whackadimajob guy from Iran.

[dashing doofus]

Talk about sheer greed and delusions of grandeur. Blag in 2016? That’s hilarious!

I disagree. After watching what Obama "accomplished" from up close, I can understand why he thought the Presidency is within his reach.

[The Sons of Liberty]

I don’t see how all of this could NOT lead directly to Obama and his Chicago posses,

This is amazing. At least with the slimeball Clinton, it was after his inauguration that things began to come out, with zero he's way ahead of the curve. I guess that's "Change".

[DownInFlames]

Paging President-Elect Biden!

[randita]

Man, these Chicago politicians are not so hot about Obama. Rev. Jackson said he wanted to cut his b**** off and Blag calls him M-F.

[dashing doofus]

Man, these Chicago politicians are not so hot ...

Eliot Steamroller Spitzer is looking better all the time. This Blago clown even has the potential to outdo the master, Klintoon.

[ctdonath2]

Oh, THAT ought to get VERY interesting SOON...

...heh, O may very well WANT the Supreme Court to run with the case they’re considering on Friday. Might be better to gracefully step aside under a paternal citizenship technicality, than to fight a no-win scorched-earth corruption scandal.

[georgia peach]

When the Dems supported Clinton despite his lying under oath and refused to remove him from office, they sent a strong signal.....this is what they are reaping.

[MilkenIt]

The first third outlines the immense corruption of Gov.’s awarding of contracts, etc. The second third covers Gov.’s attempt to have John P. McCormick fired as head of Tribune Editorial Staff. I’ve Outlined a few of the calls in the final part discussing trading the President-Elect’s advisors for vacant Senate seat for yall who are busy, hard working Americans since Im afforded the free time of college life:

-Pg. 67: Significant speculation though not explicit recording of [President-Elect Advisor A’s] thought on having [President-Elect] place Blagojevich’s wife on high paying private Boards.

-Pg. 61: Discussion of a 3 way deal between Blagojevich and [Advisors A and B] to eliminate trail to [President-Elect] by using the “Change to Win,” which is
connected to Service Employees International Union (“SEIU”)

-Pg. 61: On November 7, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with Advisor A about Senate Candidate 1 in exchange for the position of Secretary of Health and Human Services
in the President-elect’s cabinet. ROD BLAGOJEVICH stated that he is willing to “trade” the Senate seat.
NOTE: Senate Candidate 1 is a female.

-pg. 60: On November 5, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH talked with JOHN HARRIS and
Deputy Governor A. They discussed potential private foundations with which ROD
BLAGOJEVICH might be able to get a position in exchange for filling the Senate seat and,
in particular, those foundations that are “heavily dependent on federal aid” and which,
therefore, the White House would have the most “influence” on.

-Pg. 60: After discussing
various federal governmental positions that ROD BLAGOJEVICH would trade the Senate
seat for, ROD BLAGOJEVICH asked about “the private sector” and whether the Presidentelect
could “put something together there. . . .Something big.” Thereafter, HARRIS suggested that the President-elect could make ROD BLAGOJEVICH the head of a private
foundation. ROD BLAGOJEVICH told HARRIS that he should do “homework” on private foundations “right away.”

-Pg. 59: On November 5, 2008, ROD BLAGOJEVICH spoke with Deputy Governor A regarding positions that ROD BLAGOJEVICH might be able to obtain in exchange for the soon-to-be vacated Senate seat. Among the potential positions discussed were Secretary of Health and Human Services and various ambassadorships.

[MilkenIt]

Although the explicits are appetizing, the best quote of all is obviously:

According to Individual A, at one point in the
conversation, ROD BLAGOJEVICH said words to the effect that he was not concerned
about Rezko’s cooperation because he was not involved in illegal activity with Rezko.
According to the Individual A, Fundraiser A then said words to the effect of, “unless
prospectively somebody gets you on a wire.”

Oh, sweet karma

[Doogle]

the free time of college life:

..your "free time" is well served and used to benefit all, post your "research" generously...*grins*...good luck

[MilkenIt]

Obama’s FBI briefing has just been canceled today!

[calcowgirl]

I want to learn more about Chicago—it’s interesting!

you could spend a lifetime on that project!

[teletech]

Obama’s FBI briefing has just been canceled today!

LOL!

[TheConservativeParty]

Guess O is a bit busy doing a CYA today. No time for “The Office of the President-Elect” to be talkin’ with the FBI! Or better yet, the FBI has been told Zero is not to be trusted with FBI info! We all knew that a long time ago!

[Las Vegas Dave]

Zero leaked info from his one on one conversation with Pres. Bush (two or three weeks ago).
