Emanuel is Under Pressure to Resign

By DemocracyRules

Pressure from whom?  This comes from news reports out of Britain and Britain, and  Australia.  I’m not sure if it’s true. 

If there is pressure, it would be coming from Obama.  The idea is to throw Emanuel under the bus even before the bus arrives.  In my post below, I make the case that even discussing a list of “acceptable” candidates is unethical, in my view.  But I don’t think Obama reads this blog. 

I think Obama sees serious trouble coming.

What would really be problem is if the Feds taped Emanuel on the 2-hour conference call.  That call explicitly dealt with “monetizing” Blago’s selection of a Senator.  If Emanuel was on that call, and even only listened, then he is history.  I mean out, gone, vamoso, even from his seat in the US House.  It’s a crime to be aware of a crime, and not report it.

Dumping “Smash Mouth” Emanuel would be the easy part.  The hard part will come when Obama has to explain, in detail, with extensive taped evidence present, how Blago thought Obama was negotiating, when Obama claims to have no knowledge of anything.

Right now, it looks like Obama knew, and the insiders know he knew.  Obama may hope Fitzgerald will go easy on him.  But Fitzgerald showed no mercy to Scooter Libby.  Besides, the center-right blogosphere won’t go easy on Obama.   There are many thousands of us working on this.  We think he’s dangerous. 

We are trying to make him go away.  We want to save the Republic.

Its Peter Fitzgerald, and He's as straight a shooter as there is. He doesn't pull any punches, been prosecuting organized crime and dirty politicians in the tristate Illinois district for years now. If it can be proven He will do so. I wish we had more like him.
