BLAGOGATE: The Beat Goes ON

..from WSJ today:

“Mr. Emanuel’s spokeswoman said he couldn’t be reached for comment because he was traveling. Ms. Jarrett said in an email that Mr. Craig “answered everything completely.” Mr. Whitaker couldn’t be reached.

The Blagojevich controversy has been an early test for the incoming Obama administration, which has promised to be the most transparent in history.

Obama aides have accused news reporters of unfairly insinuating wrongdoing despite Mr. Fitzgerald’s assurances that the president-elect and his staff were not suspects.

Critics have said the Obama team fumbled the issue and allowed those insinuations to ripen by not being forthcoming.

Republican and Democratic lawyers have said Mr. Fitzgerald had no legal authority to keep Mr. Obama from speaking out earlier.”
