Rahm Not The Blagojevich Tipster

By Justin Gardner | Related entries in Democrats, Illinois, Law, Media

A reporter suggested yesterday that he may have been, but Emanuel denies it.

A source close to Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel is denying reports that Rahm tipped off the Feds to Blagojevich’s alleged efforts to sell Obama’s Senate seat. [...]

“It may have been Rahm Emanuel who tipped the scale and made this move as quickly as it did,” the reporter said.

But a source close to Rahm emails us that “it’s not true,” adding that the story is the “result of some overzealous reporting.”

So who did tip off the federal prosecutors? Will we ever know?

More as it develops…

Oh how that nasty whiff of Cook County lingers and follows one all the way to the cherry blossoms of the Potomac. It doesn’t merely stretch credulity, but batters it like a pimp to a hooker, to suggest that someone within Obama’s camp hasn’t been in communication with Hot Rod. HUDDLE – quick Axey, deny all claims!!

For all the Hope(TM) and Change(TM) and other bullshit spouted off by President Elect Swoosh and his legions of GoogleBoyz — this is good **old fashioned** political entertainment that can all wash ashore on Lake Michigan.

Rahm then added “Do you know what they do to rats in Chicago? Hell no I didn’t squeal.”
