[President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff Rahm ] Emanuel gave the governor’s office a list of “candidates that would be acceptable to President-elect Barack Obama” but no “quid pro quo” or “dealmaking” is suspected.
Citing “a source familiar with the investigation,” Fox says that Emanuel had “multiple conversations” with Blagojevich and his chief of staff John Harris, who was also arrested Tuesday on federal corruption charges, about the seat and that they we’re “likely recorded and in FBI possession.”
Now he’s the boss of the FBI… so they do what he says to do. This includes suppressing evidence that will emerge fifty years from now and make the back page of some newspapers.
