Emanuel sought Senate seat for Jarrett: sources :: CHICAGO SUN-TIMES :: Gov. Blagojevich
Emanuel’s discussions do not indicate he was involved in dealmaking with the governor. However, his deeper involvement creates a sticky political situation for Obama.
An Emanuel source said it was “possible” that Emanuel discussed the appointment with Harris and that a specific date was mentioned. “Valerie was deciding whether she wanted to go the Senate. Others had talked to her about it. There were plenty of people who talked to her about it and thought she would be a good choice,” the source said.
Jarrett could not be reached for comment about the conversations. Emanuel has refused to answer questions about his conversations with either the governor or his top aides.
Anybody who thinks that Chicago boy Rahm Emanuel, the guttersnipe political legbreaker for the Democrat party and now for Barack Obama, was not hip-deep in horse-trading with Blagojevich over Obama’s old Senate seat is frankly too stupid to pay any attention to.
