It's a minute to midnight before the final rundown to the 2009 inauguration of a new U.S. president and the floorboards are creaking as a real scandal creeps towards Barack Obama.
He tried to deflect the question with an internal investigation, but rumours about the FBI tapes continue:
"FBI wiretaps recorded the president-elect's incoming chief of staff, Rahm Emanuel, discussing the seat with the Blagojevich administration in 21 different conversations undermined Obama's earlier assertions that his team would not get involved in selecting his replacement."
Obama is even trying a little 'bullying' of one journalist by warning him not to waste his question.
Unfortunately for the President-Elect, this will not stop speculation about what other contact his team may have had with the disgraced Illinois governor or what may surface during any impeachment process.
Chicago politics is notorious for its pay to play mentality.
Does anyone seriously consider that Obama got to where he is without participating at some stage?
