I am not looking for a scandal. However, I'd like to know the truth about the BO-Blago relationship.
We know that BO was one of Blago's big supporters in 2006.
We know that BO grew up in the corrupt world of Chicago Dems.
What did BO know that the sale of his seat?
Matt Purple is right:
"On December 9, 2008, Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich was arrested and charged with trying to sell Barack Obama's Senate seat.
It was an act of patronage so galling, prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald insisted, "[T]he conduct would make Lincoln roll over in his grave."
It was a deep pothole for the president-elect, then riding high on the goodwill of the American people.
Although Obama wasn't directly implicated in the corruption, the intrigue of the case threatened to ensnare top advisors Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett, both of whom were more directly involved.
Obama immediately absolved himself of any responsibility. He insisted he "was not aware of what was happening" with Blago.
In a statement released later that month, the White House claimed, "The president-elect had no contact or communication with Gov. Blagojevich or members of his staff about the Senate seat."
Two officials under oath in Blagojevich's trial have now contradicted those statements. Unless there's been a bizarre conspiracy of perjury, Obama was lying."
Nobody knows and that's the problem.
Somebody tried to sell Sen BO's seat.....did Pres-elect know that his seat was for sale?
Or is this like siting in Rev Wright's church and never hearing a sermon?
