Obama staff had no corrupt contact with embattled governor, report says
The Guardian ^ | Tuesday 23 December | Suzanne Goldenberg

Posted on 12/24/2008 12:58:00 AM PST by PasorBob

Craig's assertions that the transition team was unaware of Blagojevich's efforts to sell off Obama's old seat do not correspond to the transcripts of wiretapped conversations released by the FBI two weeks ago in which the governor repeatedly swears and expresses frustration in his attempts to strike a deal on the Senate seat.

Where are those FBI tapes gonna go after inauguration?

Into the furnace, that's where.

Where are Rezko and Blagojevich gonna go after inauguration?

Into Davy Jones' locker, that's where.

Sheesh, what a scary four years this is gonna be.

Nixon's internal investigation report said much the same... maybe nothing will come of this... but perjury is the Fed's most cherished charge.

Our least experienced president will face the greatest challenges since the Civil War. We will survive and America will be disgusted with the Democrats for a generation. Keep the faith, baby!

Look at the bright side...

It is more likely that they will languish for a while, there will be little or no jail for Rezko and Blago will stay Governor as long as he keeps his mouth shut. The FBI tapes have already been forgotten, by the same electorate, as illuminated by Zogby, who observed that The Republicans controlled Congress for the past two years and McCain attained his Senate seat by disqualifying his competition.

The fix was in long ago, and Fitzgerald is is a pivotal cog. It is all about money, and much of that is likely to come from The Middle East, as for Clinton's library. The home run hit by the Democrats will insure that nothing they do will result in convictions. They do, however, risk civil unrest as a result of their stifling of capitalism with our economy foundering. Their media, so enabled by McCain Feingold, is disappearing into bankruptcy. It remains to be seen whether a domestic police force can keep the peace, but Obama showed his hand, and no one cared, so we can expect Obama’s foot soldiers. Will they wear brown shirts, or green ones?

The article should begin at the beginning. You left off two paragraphs. Bone up.

Given that 80 percent of America's military voted against Obama, I believe they will turn their turrets on him before they turn them on innocent US civilians.

Quick, someone issue a report to exonerate the president-elect. First one to do it gets a fat reward, Chicago style.

This report was made by Greg Craig, who’s on his cabinet team as White House Counsel. “Head Rat innocent of stealing cheese” claims fat rat over his cheese and crackers dinner.

Oh that Craig guy is one to trust. Sure. Isn’t he the one that put Elian back in the hands of the enemy?

He strikes me as a guy who is anything but a good guy. He has no respect for authority or rules; and probably no respect for himself.

In other words, you can sum this Craig guy in in one word.

“THUG”.

Did Fitz ask Obambi for any Identification?

The way I see it, Blago thought all his past association with BO was going to get him a fat deal on the vacant seat by putting someone in there that BO wanted. He obviously hasn’t been paying attention to the fact that BO throws everyone under the bus once he no longer needs them. BO’s team was smart enough to not make a deal, hence the swearing and frustration by Blago. It still doesn’t excuse BO for not going to the authorities himself to turn this guy in.

Oh, come on. It’s Odumbo’s own internal “investigation.” It is wholly void of objectivity. It’s akin to Al Capone saying “I heard the feds had some questions about my taxes. I had my staff look into it and everything’s okay. Now leave me alone.”

Self incrimination. Obama was just interviewed by Fitzgerald. The marxstream media sure has been quiet about that.

“...so we can expect Obama’s foot soldiers. Will they wear brown shirts, or green ones?”

Brown, green; it doesn’t matter. They will be easily identifiable. And when the stormtroopers start their ramoage, the color of their shirts will aid in target acquisition.
