[Rhodes22-list] Politics: Brad -- You Don't Want to Miss This!

[Bill Effros]

Slim,

Because the nomination will fall to Hillary over the next 3 months.

It's cynical, but it will work.  Instead of being able to attack Hillary 
for the next 5 months, the Republicans will have to concentrate on 
Obama.  The later the press notices the emperor has no clothes on, the 
better for Hillary.

The Left Wing of the Democratic party will then have to unite behind her 
instead of backing Bloomberg, or some other candidate who would allow 
the Republicans to walk away with the Presidency.  (She backed them, 
they better back her--there won't be enough time to back Bloomberg.)

The Federal Prosecutor is a Republican.  He's not going to give Obama a 
pass.  Remember, he's the guy who was putting reporters in jail for not 
revealing their sources.  He already knew what they knew, he just needed 
to know how they knew.

Same thing here.  All of the stories I've seen about Rezko state that 
this conviction has nothing to do with Obama.  Fitzpatrick is going to 
start asking reporters who told them that.  Why is that information so 
prominent in their reporting about this conviction?  If the Obama 
campaign told them he was not involved, they are part of the 
conspiracy.  If media advertising executives told the reporters to 
include that information, the press is part of the conspiracy--and can 
be charged!

Let's be clear about the Rezko conviction.  Rezko was convicted of 
extorting money and bribing politicians.  In the same way that Elliot 
Spitzer was "Client 9", Barack Obama is "a political candidate".  In 
this case, he is charged specifically with accepting $20,000, $10,000 
from each of 2 different donors, that the donors testified was extorted 
from them for use in his Senate campaign.  In addition, $1,500,000 was 
demanded for his Presidential campaign from another witness who 
testified under a grant of immunity.

Rezko offered no defense--he did not say he didn't extort money for 
Barack Obama's Senate and Presidential campaigns.  This prosecutor 
charges people with perjury if they get on the stand and lie in order to 
defend the conspiracy.

Barack Obama has never said (to my knowledge) that he was not bribed, or 
that his campaign did not accept money that had been extorted.

When I was looking for quotes about the Iraq war, it was almost 
impossible to find anyone who actually stated that Iraq posed an 
"Imminent Threat"?  It was always "Gathering"  or "Grave"  or "Grave and 
Growing".  But they (almost) never said "Imminent" -- the legal 
threshold for starting a war.

Well, you're going to find the same thing here.  Obama never responded 
to direct questions about his involvement in the Rezko political 
conspiracy.  In fact, he never responded to any verbal question on this 
issue--he only responded to written questions, and then didn't answer 
the questions directly referencing this conspiracy.

Look for the quotes.  They're not there.  It's just newspaper "Experts" 
telling us, without being asked, that Obama had nothing to do with this, 
and was never charged or mentioned in the trial.

We are in for a wild ride.  The Super Delegates (and everyone else) will 
figure it out long before the election, which isn't for another 5 
months, and the Democratic Convention which doesn't take place until 
almost Labor Day.

Bill

PS -- Buy "Mission Impossible" a quote book for which I provided 1/3 of 
the quotes--Cerf & Navasky.
