Fitz is tough skinned guy. Was not a fraid to take on present white house. I'm sure he's not going to back down on this case either. Sounds like the Governor is real close with Obama. He's caught twice on tape calling Obama a Mother Fuc???. How can you go wrong.

This guy was fucking trying to SELL a U.S. Senate seat!

Yes, he is the big fish in this. That's who they want and will get. And you're worried about the 'timing' of the arrests?

At the state level(although involving the federal level), i'm having a hard time thinking of what bigger scandal there has ever been.

as far as the reason for cutting off the investigation?...i have a theory....

this thing is becoming like a snowball rolling down a hill..maybe some insiders are thinking,"this has to be cut off before it gets too big to control".....


Ok, I guess we need to reduce this to bite-sized portions.

Blago will talk about anybody and everybody involved in this. We'll find out. Please at least throw out any theory as to why Fitzgerald is worried about this 'snowball.'

Why? Who? And for what?

"the bunker"
a parable...


"a bear and a rabbit were in the woods pooping..... the bear looked over at the rabbit and asked if he had trouble with poop sticking to his fur.....the rabbit thought and then said, "no, it is not a problem."...so the bear grabbed the rabbit and wiped his ass with it."...

the moral of the story is,if you think it won't stick, then you may have more coming your way..... unless of course,you`re the teflon don of chi-town...

nothing from this will stick to the teflon community organizer...

it is but a mere speed bump on the socialism expressway....:D

anybody consider the fact that at this meeting that obama did the right thing and supposedly wasn`t willing to give blago anything more than his appreciation for the naming of candidate #1 to the seat(good for bock)....and that this is what set off the blago "raging motherf*cking" rant(again good for bock)...

doesn`t that imply that obama knew that this shithead was trying to sell the seat, at the very least, and said nothing?....

i`m playing devil`s advocate here....work with me...:iagree:

Rev. Jackson: I Played No Role in Blagojevich Scandal, Not an 'Emissary'
Congressman's Father Says He's 'Not Targeted' in Probe of Senate-For-Sale Scheme
By THOMAS GIUSTO and BRIAN ROSS
Dec. 11, 2008


Rev. Jesse Jackson says he played no role and was not "an emissary" in alleged efforts to make a deal with Governor Rod Blagojevich for the appointment of his son, Congressman Jesse Jackson Jr. (D-IL) to the U.S. Senate.

Jackson Sr. says he's "not an emissary" or "target" of the investigation.
Speaking publicly for the first time, Rev. Jackson said he last met with the Governor four months ago and was not the unnamed individual cited in the FBI affidavit who promised to raise up to a $1 million in exchange for the Senate seat.


"So I am not an emissary. I am not targeted. And I have no accusers. That's simply not true," Jackson told ABCNews.com as he arrived in Washington Thursday for an event sponsored by Operation PUSH.

Rep. Jesse Jackson Jr. Is 'Senate Candidate No. 5', Says He Did Nothing WrongWATCH: Jackson Denies Involvement in Senate SchemeMore from Brian Ross and the Investigative Team
"This is strange and painful speculation," Rev. Jackson said. He said his son, the Congressman, "is being tainted by the Governor's speculation about his fundraising activities."

Rev. Jackson called on Governor Blagojevich to resign and said he believed his son would emerge unscathed from the FBI investigation.

"Politics is a contact sport. Only those on the sidelines have clean uniforms," he said.

In the FBI affidavit, Blagojevich is heard on hidden microphones recounting alleged promises from "emissaries" for Rep. Jackson.

"We were approached 'pay to play'. That you know, he'd raise me 500 grand. An emissary came. Then the other guy would raise a million, if I made him (Senate Candidate 5) a Senator."

Senate Candidate 5 has been identified as Rep. Jackson.

The Congressman returned to Chicago today and is expected to be interviewed by the FBI tomorrow or Saturday.

He has denied being involved in any deal to trade for the Senate seat vacated by the election of Barack Obama as President.


Jackson said it was "an impossibility" that anyone connected to him would have made a deal on his behalf.
..............................................................

Something sure smells here .

I am wondering if without his direct appointment if Jackson Jr would have ever had a chance to be a Senator ?

hmmmmm.

If the answer to that is no.

then someone may be in deep doosky

I don't think so . . . thanks again for keeping us safe

lol-

Wilson has for some reason recently been flailing around trying to take shots at me. His last attempt backfired a bit.

Wilson,

I've been doing the same thing for 14 years. It's provided me a very good life. Life is good, bro.

Uh, not one post ever about anything close to that. Find one and i'll send you 2 grand. And without even talking with Jack, I PROMISE that he will pay if I don't. He'll back it.

Find a post where I bitched about MY poor quality of life because of Bush or whatever, and you get 2 grand.

Should be easy.


Fucking idiot.
