Rick Moran: Is Rahm Emanuel in trouble?
Rick Moran: “Not legal trouble, mind you. But the Chicago Sun Times is reporting that Rahmbo’s contacts with Blagojevich over Obama’s senate seat are MUCH MORE EXTENSIVE THAN EITHER OBAMA OR EMANUEL HAVE LED US TO BELIEVE.”
..
“It could be coincidence that Obama pulled Jarrett [his suposed choice for the Senate seat] out of a prickly situation and the two events may not even be connected. What the two timelines suggest however is that Obama either knew or suspected that Blago was trying to sell the seat and, to his credit, wanted no part of it.”
“This raises the equally troubling question IF HE KNEW, WHY DIDN’T HE INFORM THE AUTHORITIES? This is the real exposure of the Obama camp to trouble; the idea that they are a lot less ‘transparent’ than they are bragging they are. And the poblem for Emanuel is that he may have listened to Blago’s attempted bribes and did nothing to inform Fitzgerald.”
“Would it be enough to cost Emanuel his job? The fact that he is not speaking to the press suggests that it is that serious.” — Rick Moran.
