I was looking over at the HillBuzz site, and realized that isn’t where I saw the “rumors” of Fitzpatrick’s investigation back in October ‘08. I believe it was on a Hillary/PUMA Message Board. My computer has since died twice, and I definitely don’t have it bookmarked anymore...
Lucy or NullandVoid (or anyone, really):
Do you happen to remember the article/rumors I’m talking about, or where they came from? What I’m referring to were the PUMAs who right before the election started talking about the rumors floating in the halls of the Chicago Federal Courthouse, and Fitzpatrick’s office in particular about an investigation that would reach to the top levels of the DNC — then a few weeks after the election came Blago’s arrest. Now, the motion from today which implicates Obama (as lying to the FBI), Rahm, Rezko, a Union Official, and a Union President (Stern?), and implies ties between Obama, Rezko, and the Chicago Mob...
I’m trying to remember where I originally read the “rumors” report, and am drawing a blank now. Had thought it was HillBuzz, but can’t find what I’m looking for there, and realized it was a site that had a message board (was it actually Hillary’s campaign site? Gosh, I hope not... Probably long gone now if it was). Hoping one of you might remember, or perhaps pass this on to the list and that someone on it might remember this as well. I remember speculation that it might have involved Obama’s eligibility, but instead it was the Pay-to-Play scandal that broke.
I’m thinking of alternative ways to search for this — might do a google search for my own posts here at FR in that date period to find it... Just hoping someone remembers this more clearly than I! :)
This might jog your memory:
