'Stonewalling' is what they called it during the Nixon Watergate scandal back in the early 70s.
According to the Chicago Sun-Times:
President-elect Barack Obama’s chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, refused to take questions from reporters this morning about whether he was the Obama “advisor” named in the criminal complaint against Gov. Rod Blagojevich.
The complaint states Blagojevich wanted a promise of a high-level appointment or some other reward for Blagojevich in exchange for Blagojevich naming Obama’s friend Valerie Jarrett to replace him in the U.S. Senate.
Emanuel was uncharacteristically absent from Obama’s news conference this morning.
Although there is no evidence as of yet implicating Obama or any member of his team in the scandal, the discrepancies in the stories provided by the Obama team, along with increasing suspicions concerning Emanuel's possible involvement, are creating new questions every day.

It's called "not incriminating myself."
I think the boy's in a lot of trouble. Everything I read about him indicates he is dirty and has his hand in the till.
He has to wonder what the Feds heard him say, and if they've tapped his phone. That alone will give you lockjaw.
True.
Another point to consider--the buzz is that Tony Rezko has been 'singing like a canary' in prison, coughing up info for the Feds.
