Barack Obama is Revealed as a Corrupt Chicago Politician and a Liar in Blago Case

We begin with White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel. Now the defense has called a, quote, "critical witness" in this case. And shocking e-mails uncovered by the AP revealed Emanuel's repeated attempts to trade favors with Blagojevich.
The White House's connection to this trial do not end there.

Valerie Jarrett, now senior adviser to the president, was once a top candidate to fill Obama's Senate seat. And it's alleged that behind the scenes both the president and Rahm Emanuel lobbied on her behalf.
In fact, a union leader has testified that Obama called him the night before the 2008 general election to push for Jarrett's appointment as senator. And perhaps the person involved in this trial with the closest of ties to both Blagojevich and Obama is real estate developer Tony Rezko.

After all, it was Rezko's corrupt dealings with Blagojevich that ultimately landed him behind bars. And his connections to the president run even deeper. Rezko has long been a top Obama donor. In the past Obama has represented a firm owned by Rezko. In 2005 when Rezko was known to be under federal investigation, Obama purchased land from him for well over the assessed value. Obama later apologized for the purchase. Barack Obama said he was "unaware" that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich was trying to profit from his ability to name a successor to Obama's U.S. Senate seat back in December 2008.
He lied.
The Sun-Times reported:

A top aide to former Gov. Rod Blagojevich said he believed Barack Obama knew of Blagojevich's plot to win himself a presidential Cabinet post in exchange for appointing Valerie Jarrett to the U.S. Senate.

John Harris, Blagojevich's former chief of staff, testified Wednesday in the former governor's corruption trial that three days after the Nov. 4, 2008, presidential election, the ex-governor told Harris he felt confident Obama knew he wanted to swap perks.

"The president understands that the governor would be willing to make the appointment of Valerie Jarrett as long as he gets what he's asked for. . . . The governor gets the Cabinet appointment he's asked for," Harris said, explaining a recorded call.

Harris said Blagojevich came away believing Obama knew what he wanted after having a conversation with a local union representative, who in turn spoke with labor leader Tom Balanoff, with whom Blagojevich met to discuss a Jarrett appointment. Jarrett, now a White House adviser, was seeking the appointment to Obama's Senate seat.
