Top Obama Aides Mentioned in Blagojevich Subpoenas
When news broke of Rod Blagojevich’s pay to play scam in which he was trying to sell Obama’s vacant senate seat the president boldly claimed that neither he nor any of his staff had any contact with Blagojevich. That was an outright lie.
President Obama then conducted an internal investigation in which he admitted that Rahm Emanuel did have multiple conversations with Rod Blagojevich. But none of them were in appropriate, and we have to believe him, after all he investigated it himself internally. RRRIIIGGGGHHHTTTT!
But now comes this news that some of President Obama’s top aides are mentioned in subpoenas and the government wants some of their documents.
Sweeping federal subpoenas of Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich‘s administration include requests for records involving David Axelrod and Valerie Jarrett, senior advisers to President Barack Obama.
One of the conversations that was wire tapped involved Blagojevich talking to Valerie Jarrett and includes him believing that Jarrett is interested in the pay to play scheme. Without having heard the tape, if this is true than that is the second Barack Obama lie on this issue. President Obama claims that nobody on his staff even knew about the scam. This tape may prove otherwise.
Still nobody on Obama’s staff has been implicated:
Prosecutors have said Obama is not implicated in the case, and none of his advisers has been accused of wrongdoing
Here is where I find that this case gets interesting. The feds jumped in and arrested Blagojevich before any deal was consummated. In most cases the feds wait until the deal goes down and then arrest both parties, why not this time?
Patrick Fitzgerald is the same prosecutor that investigate the Vallery Plame leak non-story for a full year after he found out who leaked Valery Plame’s name. Yet in this case he stops the crime from being committed.
There is only one possible reason for this in my opinion. This was going to go to the top. If the deal was consummated it would have implicated at least Rahm Emanuel and possibly even Barack Obama himself.
There is more to this story than meets the eye and Rod Blagojevich knows it and that is why he is so arrogantly refusing to resign. He is holding the trump card, a high level official, and he is just waiting to play it.

Somethingis definitely rotten in the state of Chicago. Totally off topic—S., there was a hearing in Fitchburg MA today about Unitil. I don’t know the results, just wondering if anything went on in NH about this. Martha Coakley was there also.
