Federal prosecutor Patrick Fitzgerald has been sitting on surveillance tapes of scandal-ridden Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich. On Monday, Fitzgerald made a motion to release the tapes.
The question, however, is whether or not the particular tapes to be released contain conversations between Blago and advisors to Barack Obama.
The news story at the link above does not address that issue.

He Said, He Said, They Said
I notice that a report at ABC News claims that Obama chief of staff Rahm Emanuel supposedly made only one call to corrupt Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich, and even then the call had nothing to do with Obama's vacant Senate seat.
Blago, on the other hand, claims through his aids that he regularly took calls from Emanuel.
Looks like a clear case of he said, he said.
Except for one small consideration.
They said, that is, the FBI, that surveillance tapes reveal at least 21 conversations between the 2 concerning the vacant Senate seat and other political matters.
If these tapes do, in fact, exist, then perhaps the only thing that will matter is the content of the tapes. This will determine if a clear connection can be established between Blago's attempt to sell the Senate seat and the Obama team.
