US Attorney Subpoenas Obama Friends David Axelrod, Valerie Jarrett, Rahm Emanuel and Tony Rezko

Everyone covered the "Cuckoo" Blago press conference on Friday, and everyone knows that Governor Blagojevich will be on The View on Monday, but who is talking about this on the news?



From Doug Ross:

• On Saturday morning, the list of subpoenas served by the U.S. Attorney's office in the Governor Rod Blagojevich case was made public. The list included one major surprise for the new administration.
• 
  
• A veritable "who's who" of Obama staffers, surrogates and affiliates were among those served with subpoenas. Put simply, within one week of President Barack Obama's administration taking office, it is already under significant legal scrutiny that will -- at a minimum -- take precious time away from dealing with the country's monumental economic and foreign policy challenges.
• 
  
• And, once again, the mainstream media is AWOL, unwilling to report on this very newsworthy story.
• 
  
• Among those served with subpoenas were:
• 
  
• David Axelrod, Obama's "Karl Rove" and the biggest surprise on the list. Obama's team issued a report in December that said his staff had no "inappropriate contact" with Blago, so the inclusion of Axelrod is a bit of a shock.
• 
  
• Valerie Jarrett, Blago's "Senate Candidate 1", a real estate management executive and political hack of the first order. Her ties to failed and fraudulent real estate deals in Chicago were the subject of numerous investigations and should have instantly disqualified her for any public office.
• 
  
• Rahm Emanuel was already deeply involved in the case with some reports describing as many as 21 conversations with Blago's office during the period in question.
• 
  
• Tony Rezko, Obama's first advocate, fundraiser and adviser, was convicted last year on numerous charges related to kickbacks, and is now awaiting sentencing. Rezko is "cooperating with authorities, FBI Agent Daniel Cain said in an affidavit."

We'll say it again! Why do you suppose Blago keeps mentioning these people in all of his public appearances? Is he "Cuckoo" or is there method to his madness?

Only The Obama Knows For Sure!
