This is my guess as to what's going on behind the scenes with this whole Governor scandal.
The F.B.I. has been wiretapping Blagojevich for the last 3 years, but no arrests, right? But why not? We know this Blagojevich guy has been doing
criminal stuff for years, but the F.B.I. waits and waits.... and waits....
During the course of that "investigation", Obama rises as a political star, runs for POTUS and wins. Then the F.B.I. gets what they've been
waiting for: Dirt on the President Elect, Obama.
It wouldn't have to be anything out of the ordinary, just regular "Chicago" poltics. Perhaps he or Rahm Emanuel (his chief of staff) were caught
on the phone with Blagojevich discussing the Senate appointment and perhaps some financial figures, or pay-to-play schemes were discussed.
Perhaps...
So they make a huge public arrest out of Governor Blagojevich and release the transcripts of his slimy dealings. In the public's eye, the guy is
guilty as sin - a guilty court verdict is a foregone conclusion. Obama does what every politician does in these situations: he distances himself from
the radioactive criminal by making a public statement that he was not involved in any way...
The F.B.I. now has Obama, the next President Elect, by the horns.
Obama now can not repeal, retract, investigate, hold hearings on, or go after the F.B.I. (or any of the U.S. intelligence agencies) for violating the
U.S. Constitution by illegally wiretapping Americans.
And maybe that explains how a young Senator from Illinois rose to power so quickly: they new he'd be an easy catch.
To keep Blagojevich quiet, the Feds will go easy on him and his wife might find a nice cushy position on some Corporate board. Him too, after he gets
out of "prison" (summer camp) in 6 months.
I really hoped that Obama would go after the intelligence community once in office, but I have feeling we'll just see their power expand.
