Shocker: Rham Emanuel Had Direct Talks With Hot Rod Blagojevich Pushing Valerie Jarret for Obama’s Senate Seat

No, not really.President-elect Barack Obama’s incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel had a deeper involvement in pressing for a U.S. Senate seat appointment than previously reported, the Sun-Times has learned. Emanuel had direct discussions about the seat with Gov. Blagojevich, who is is accused of trying to auction it to the highest bidder.
Emanuel talked with the governor in the days following the Nov. 4 election and pressed early on for the appointment of Valerie Jarrett to the post, sources with knowledge of the conversations told the Sun-Times. There was no indication from sources that Emanuel brokered a deal, however.
The Tapes! The Tapes! The Tapes Boss!
American voters will learn more when Patrick Fitzgerald receives a Blagojevich indictment and the wiretap tapes flow to Blago’s attorney and thus the world.
Rham Emanuel is starting to glow (i.e. becoming radioactive).
Stay tuned…….
