on several occasions about the Senate seat.  No wonder Rahm Emanuel was avoiding reporters this week.
Now, he refuses to answer the question if he is the advisor on the FBI tapes?

Minor detail… 

exclusive report from Chicago’s Fox affiliate. Sources within the investigation say that Rahm Emanuel, Obama’s chief of staff, spoke with Governor Rod Blagojevich on “multiple occasions” about the Senate succession that Blagojevich had wanted to sell to the highest bidder — and that Emanuel will likely be on the FBI wiretaps:

Note to Obama, do not snub Fox News.  They will report unlike the others in the MSM.

And The feds have 21 taped conversations of Rahm Emanuel
The Chicago Sun-Times reported:

Sneed hears rumbles President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, is reportedly on 21 different taped conversations by the feds — dealing with his boss’ vacant Senate seat!

And JJJr, do not say that it has been four long years since you had anything to do with your bud, Blagojevich.  Blagobitch’s calendar and your beloved Chicago Tribune is going to spill the beans on that up and coming fundraiser.

The Chicago Tribune reports this morning that a group of Chicago businessmen met to plan a fundraiser on the final weekend of the campaign.

Enter Jonathan Jackson (brother) as emissary for JJJr (candidate #5).

Blagojevich made an appearance at an Oct. 31 luncheon meeting at the India House restaurant in Schaumburg sponsored by Oak Brook businessman Raghuveer Nayak, a major Blagojevich supporter who also has fundraising and business ties to the Jackson family, according to several attendees and public records.

This may explain why Patrick Fitzgerald moved now.  First, money did change hands — perhaps not explicitly, but the structure of the payoff for “Senate Candidate 5″ was supposed to be campaign contributions.  After this down payment, Jackson could reasonably expect his appointment to follow shortly after the fundraiser.  Fitzgerald had to be worried that Blagojevich could act any time.

Update on Rahmbo:

Though now working full-time on Obama’s transition, Emanuel has yet to resign his congressional seat. Illinois law has a different process for filling vacant House seats than Senate seats. When Emanuel resigns, a special election will be held for his replacement.

One alleged scheme outlined in the charges against Blagojevich involves the special election for Emanuel’s seat. The government affidavit said Blagojevich and others were recorded talking about an unnamed “president-elect adviser” concerned about the election for Emanuel’s congressional seat who might help the governor land a new job at a non-profit organization.
