CHICAGO – A report that says President-elect Barack Obama or his staff never discussed a deal with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich to fill Obama's vacant Senate seat is unlikely to affect a federal investigation of the governor, legal observers said Tuesday.
Attorneys not involved in the case said the report Obama's transition team released Tuesday doesn't necessarily help Blagojevich, who is quoted as saying to aides in conversations secretly recorded by the FBI that he wanted to get a Cabinet position, an ambassadorship, a high-paying job or cash for the Senate seat.
Obama's chief-of-staff pick, Rahm Emanuel, gave Blagojevich and his top aide the names of people the president-elect thought would make good senators, according to the report. But it said Emanuel didn't know Blagojevich was looking for something in return.
Who knows.... Oddly enough though for some reason it was asked to wait till Christmas time to release any information when everyone is busy with family gatherings and such which seems odd.
When all is said and done the corrupt tentacles that run through Chicago will still remain and Blago will be the poster child for them. At least till number 5 gets arrested by Fitzgerald and then sadly enough once again through mob factions and such it will be ignored.
