A top aide to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich said he believed Barack Obama knew of Blagojevich's plot to win himself a presidential Cabinet post in exchange for appointing Valerie Jarrett to the U.S. Senate.

John Harris, Blagojevich's former chief of staff, testified Wednesday in the former governor's corruption trial that three days after the Nov. 4, 2008, presidential election, the ex-governor told Harris he felt confident Obama knew he wanted to swap perks.

This could be big.

...Or, like Joe Sestak, it could never make it to the mainstream.

The question is, what did Obama know and when did he know it?

This bombshell has been cancelled due to lack of interest.

BOMBSHELL??? Why? It won't mean a thing to the state run media where most Americans get their “news” - oops I mean propaganda. How about how the lefties are now embracing zer0 and his choice of Betrayus, after bashing him under Bush.

Enough to convict Bush, or Rove or Scooter Libby. Will any crack reporter ask Obama “what he knew and when he know it”? Oh that’s right, his majesty doesn’t take that many questions any way.

Everyone, including the left and the MSM, knows he’s corrupt, but they don’t care.

Well, duhhh...of course Barry knew. Valerie Jarrett isn’t qualified to clean my toilets, so how else would her name come up?

Sestak? Who’s that?
That’s why the media cannot be reasoned with or compromised with. It must be replaced.

State Run Media won't even run bad poll numbers on their boy.

There is no chance this will get reported any time soon.

1) I didn’t do it — how dare you accuse me of this!
2) Maybe I did it — but you have no evidence!
3) OK, you have some evidence — but nothing convincing!
4) OK, this happened — but no laws were broken!
5) OK, laws were broken — but everybody does it! Why make a big deal out of this?
6) OK, the corruption in this administration is unbelievable and reaches new heights of obscenity — but that’s old news! Can’t we just move on?
7) Hey, focus on it all you want — I own the Senate! You can’t touch me! HAHAHAHA!
