Another Blago Twist

What did Obama know and when did he know it?

• Rod Blagojevich's lawyers say they should be privy to remarks that President-Elect Obama made to FBI agents in December, 2008.

  The defense team has filed a motion asking for written reports of Obama's two-hour interview with prosecutors and the FBI, saying that testimony by key government witness John Harris has opened the door to possibly new information concerning Obama.

  They say that testimony contradicts the government's previous public statements that Obama knew nothing about deal-making involving the Senate seat appointment.

This opening gives new life to Blago's defense seeing as how Rod was on the ropes after the past few days. He's been painted as depressed, money-hungry, power-grabbing - it's all likely accurate and true. But he needed a better excuse than "everybody does it."

He may have just gotten it from John Harris.
