Case against Ill. governor a liability for Obama aide
Blagojevich has a shared history with Emanuel
.....
Emanuel’s refusal to discuss the matter publicly, and the few comments offered by Obama to date, have prompted questions about Emanuel’s ties to Blagojevich and what fallout he will face as the criminal case unfolds, although sources have said he is not a target of prosecutors. Even so, any hint of scandal for Emanuel threatens to tarnish Obama’s promise of new political leadership free of scandal and corruption
,,,
It was Blagojevich who, seemingly out of nowhere, yanked Emanuel into his scandal when answering reporters’ questions the day before his Dec. 9 arrest, invoking his name in an apparent attempt to shrug off any perception of wrongdoing.
He said he wasn’t concerned about a report in the Chicago Tribune that confidant and former aide John Wyma’s cooperation had helped lead federal prosecutors to tape the governor’s conversations.
Blagojevich said he’s “always lawful” whenever he speaks, and he was confident Wyma has been “an honest person who’s conducted himself in an honest way. That’s the John Wyma I know and it’s the John Wyma that Rahm Emanuel knows and a lot of other people know.”
Blagojevich is right. Wyma does have ties to both him and Emanuel, those close to both have said. And Wyma’s clients contributed to both - more than $100,000 to Emanuel’s campaigns and causes, and more than $445,000 to Blagojevich’s, according to campaign finance records reviewed by The Associated Press.
