Rahm Emanuel Subpoenaed

I seriously doubt he’ll ever actually make it to the stand. 

Lawyers for former Gov. Rod Blagojevich have subpoenaed Rahm Emanuel to testify at Blagojevich’s corruption trial, which is scheduled to open tomorrow, lawyers associated with the case said today.

Emanuel, chief of staff to President Barack Obama, had been expected to be subpoenaed by the former governor.

While he was a U.S. representative from Chicago, Emanuel was recorded in conversations with Blagojevich about Obama’s vacant Senate seat. Blagojevich is accused of offering the seat to the highest bidder.

  1. Invoking Executive Privilege is not going to be a workable defense here. There are no defensible executive privileges in this case. Rahm may very well have to testify at some point.

    The more appropriate question may be; when he testifies, will he admit to anything?  Probably not.

  2. Maybe if he is back in Chicago he can visit the gay bathhouse where he and Barry are members (card carrying members I might add).  Just ask the boyz in Boys Town - they know these 2 very well.
