I'm not sure where the author of this has been.. Or the people commenting on this thread for that matter.

The person that approached Blago "pay to play" and was offering contributions was doing it on behalf of "Senate Candidate 5" which is Jesse Jackson, Jr.

The person was probably a JJJ supporter, not directly employed by or tied to JJJ. Nobody near Obama wanted Senate Candidate 5 to get the appointment and they wouldn't have paid to get that candidate in.

It won’t matter.

Get ready for a long parade of scandals that will make the clintons look like choir boys.

America is finally going to get the government that the fools and idiots dreamed of.

Wasn’t there actually a fundraiser that took place shortly after the Governor was approached by a group of influentials from the Indian community who have consistently backed JJJ? Seems strange that the meeting took place and shortly after a fundraiser took place.

Yes, I realize this, but you are getting it. “Someone else” refers to JJJ, yes, add “someone else” to what he just said about The Valerie Jarrett portion and you will understand the meaning. (To paraphrase: “In addition to the person making the Jarret deal, another person approached Blagojevich, Jesse Jackson Jr.”)

You MUST read the context, please read the transcript. I posted the link.
