“Barack Obama has said that when all is revealed, it will be clear that neither he nor his staff had any contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich”
Well, strictly speaking, that itself is a lie. We know, or at least we think we know that RE had at least one contact with Blago, albeit “pro forma.” I’m still waiting to see how the “21 conversations” pans out. Even if 20 were with Blago staff, it defies credibility that RE wasn’t engaged in bargaining—even if it only took the form of turning down repeated “pay” proposals.
Who said all 20 of Rahm -E’s conversations were with Blank-O. They could have been with his assistant or BO or even Axelrod....
We know there were wire taps. We don’t know if they were just issued for one person. We others tapped also. Was it Blank-O being taped or Rahm E or all?
Why the delay, unless Fitz want to continue recording more from one of the sources....
I’d sure like to hear Rahm-E and BO’s conversations this week.....Think others would too?
