Barack Obama has said that when all is revealed, it will be clear that neither he nor his staff had any contacts with Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich that could be considered improper.
The president-elect’s office says it will release on Monday the promised report giving a full accounting of those contacts, and Obama aides say the official under the most scrutiny — Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel — will be exonerated after weeks of innuendo that they have long said was unfair.
Journalists, readers and viewers may be busy wrapping presents, lighting their menorahs or just eating when the report is released — while Mr. Obama is in Hawaii and out of public view.
This has been slowly leaking out over the last few days but it appears Rahm Emanuel will escape this controversy without too many bruises. He only talked directly with Blago on one occasion.
