Blago: Emanuel a 'co-conspirator'
American Thinker ^ | 1/29/08 | William Tate

Posted on 01/30/2009 7:18:33 AM PST by LBSTx

Rod Blagojevich placed responsibility for one key impeachment charge just a door away from the Oval Office. Blagojevich said before the Senate vote that, if he's impeached, White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel should be a "co-conspirator."... Don't expect to hear or see much of Blagojevich's potentially explosive assertions in the legacy media, though. At Thursday afternoon's White House briefing, reporters took note of Blagojevich's live, nationally-televised speech by asking Press Secretary Robert Gibbs exactly zero--zip, nada, nothing--questions about the role the Chief of Staff, potentially the second most powerful person in the White House, may or may not have played in Blago's shenanigans.

Of course, a thorough examination of Emanuel might also shed light on the political cesspool that also produced his new boss.

I am actually surprised the media haven’t started asking if Karl Rove was somehow involved with Blago.

obama's fault seriously I hope he has records of phony, I find it strange that certain recordings have been released and not all. AI find it strange that phony knew his seat was up and had no idea within the Chicago political circle that his seat would be up for sale. sod it IMPEACH,

Can’t wait for his trial later this year. It won’t go away, as the new President desperately wants, til around the mid terms if I’m correct about the legal foot dragging Blago will bring about.

And if there is anything negative about Rahmie the failed Ballerina...well, one term becomes much more likely for President Obama.

Don’t forget JJJ, Blago. Oh, wait, that might taint the jury pool.

The media has been desperately trashing Blago for weeks and weeks. They know he can do some damage and they want to discredit him.

Headline?

Efforts To Save Other Dems From Charges
Democrats insist: "Blagojevich is insane!"
"We're trying to avoid his Arkancide."

Could you imagine the press if this was a Republican administration and an impeached governor implicated a repub CoS?
