If Blag-0 went to 0bama looking for a pay-off for the Senate seat, that must mean that Blag-0 felt comfortable in soliciting 0bama to engage in corruption. Gee, I wonder where he ever got the idea 0bama would engage in criminal activity?
It’s not even that. If Blago approached them - as the phone taps indicate he told others - then Obama was aware that his own Senate seat was being auctioned off - a crime was in commission - and did nothing to stop it.
THAT’S the 900lb gorilla in the room.
