Reports: Taped Conversations Of Blagojevich And Rahm Emanuel May Exist
This is not good news for Obama, who said yesterday that he was “confident” his staff hadn’t been talking to Blago about the appointment.
Obama said that he, personally, didn’t meet with Blago about the appoint yet news reports suggest otherwise. Obama claims that nobody on his staff was communicating with Blago, yet now it appears as though Rahm Emanuel had multiple conversations with the Governor.
What I don’t get is why Obama would lie about this in the first place. I mean, you’d expect him and/or his staff to be talking to Blago about his replacement in the Senate. That doesn’t necessarily mean they were talking about quid pro quo arrangements, so why lie?
Obama appears to be digging himself ever deeper into this, and I think things are just going to continue to get worse.
