Chicago - Late Friday morning, White House Senior Adviser Valerie Jarrett caused a stir when she walked into the Dirksen Federal Building on a day when judges were considering cases involving former Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich and convicted fundraiser Tony Rezko.

The White House said Jarrett was having lunch with her daughter, who is clerking in the building.

(snip)

Her appearance at the courthouse set off speculation that she could possibly be there to meet with the FBI and be interviewed again, possibly with more questions, or she could be a potential witness for the next Blagojevich trial, or that she could have been testifying in front of a grand jury.

Imagine them having Rezko’s partner testify?

her daughter, who is clerking in the building.

Oh, she is!

Do these clerking jobs go begging, like the ones where kids volunteer to collect furniture for dirt-poor folks in Appalachia? And this woman's daughter is pitching in—a noblesse oblige kind of thing to help the less fortunate and build her character?

Or by chance is this a perk whereby a kid gets a leg up in a career in politics, lobbying, or matrimony, and parents in non-confirmed administration posts ram their kids into line ahead of thousands of applicants from across the fruited plain through sheer nepotism and corruption?

But heck, maybe her kid is charming genius with a résumé stuffed with community service and debating trophies, and won the post fair and square, and by amazing coincidence, the mom is working in Washington at the same time. That must be it.

“daughter, Laura, a law clerk for U.S. District Judge Rebecca Pallmeyer”

Rebecca Pallmeyer was known for her role in the case involving former Illinois Governor George Ryan.

Jarrett was seen at Dirksen just before noon, and was apparently escorted by five or six people who look like Secret Service agents.

BS They look like Federal Marshalls to me! Same dark suits. ties etc.

DOES VALERIE QUALIFY TO RECEIVE SS SECURITY TO EAT LUNCH WITH HER DAUGHTER?

“David Axelrod said he did not know why she was at the Dirsken building. He said he understood she had a friend who was ill and she had some “personal business to take care of.”
