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.
This doesn't mean that Emanuel was selling Obama's Senate seat in conjunction with Blagojevich. But as Ed Morrissey points out, it lets the air out of the trial balloon that Emanuel was the guy that blew the whistle.
I have to wonder what it's like to be an Obama supporter these days. The read I get from the blogosphere is that a sense of unease and Clintonian deja vu is falling over the HopeNChange brigade.
