Judicial Watch:
Blagojevich Contacts wth Obama, Biden, Transition Team
Today, JudicialWatch.org posted a press release with documentation they obtained through a FOIA request related to Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich’s contacts with Barak Hussein Obama and his transition team:
Washington, DC — January 5, 2009
Includes December 3, 2008, Letter to “Rod” Signed by Obama
Judicial Watch, the public interest group that investigates and prosecutes government corruption, announced today that it has obtained documents from the office of Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich through the Freedom of Information Act related to Blagojevich’s contacts with President-elect Obama and his transition team.
The documents include a December 3, 2008, letter from Barack Obama following his December 2, 2008, meeting with Blagojevich as well as a November 17, 2008, letter signed by Presidential Transition Team co-chairs Valerie Jarrett and John Podesta providing Blagojevich with a list of transition team contacts.
The following are excerpts from the letter signed by President-elect Obama on December 3, 2008, less than one week before authorities arrested Blagojevich for attempting to “sell” Obama’s now-vacant Senate seat, among other corruption charges:
“Thank you for meeting with me on Tuesday in Philadelphia. Vice President-elect Joe Biden and I were pleased with the open discussion.”
“As we discussed, I would appreciate any advice you can provide to me and my team on the biggest roadblocks to states in moving forward in ‘getting ready to go’ projects started quickly.”
“In addition, I welcome any advice you can provide me and my team on revitalizing and reinvigorating the state-federal partnership. I want to make it a priority of my Administration to work closely with you.”
“I look forward to working with you and hitting the ground running on January 20th.”

YES!
Ping!
Are his lips moving?
Beat me to it lol
I found that last night. Seems that Zero only lies when he speaks.
I wouldn’t get too excited. The letter appears to have come out of the National Governors Conference meeting, when Obama and Biden met with all 50 governors. It reads like a form letter that I’ll bet they all got.
He’s a politician. He lies. Move on.
Were his lips moving?
Dang you!!!!! You beat me to it!
No, it was a misstatement.
Judicial Watch = FRAUD
Regardless, if he failed to mention this when he was interviewed by Fitz & Co., and testified to them that he had no contacts, then he committed a crime.
Of course, now that JW has blasted this revelation around the globe, Obama can go in, revise his testimony, and he’s clean again.
He said he had NO CONTACT with Blago.
NO contact. The guy cannot be trusted.
Why are you covering for Obama’s doublespeak?
I don't know, but one thing is certain:
If Barry fudged any facts in his hours-long interview with the Feds regarding Blago, HE WILL NOT BE SCOOTERIZED by Fitz with a process crime. Barry WILL NOT BE frog-marched out of 1600 Pennsylvania Ave.
Did Barry Hussein 0bama lie?
I have another question: Has Illinois Secretary of State Jesse White been conspiring with Reid or Obama to freeze out Burris? What conversations have they had?
Is he acting illegally if he agrees to keep Burris out based on political considerations?
