Where???? Not YOUR quote but Ftzgerald's. I provided the entire transcript and it's just not there.
Please I beg of you to find Obama being exonerated by Fitz. Just show me.
what he did say IN THE TRANSCRIPT was:
Q (Inaudible) -- you said twice that we shouldn't cast aspersions on people who we think we recognize within the complaint. Does that mean that all of these people are beyond blame in any way? I mean, some of the things in the complaint point a very kind of a tacky finger at some people, their willingness to play. And if pay to play is illegal, isn't the willingness to play also culpable, even if you didn't charge today?
MR. FITZGERALD: What I'm trying to say is this. Look, we never give -- you know, and I think anyone who's from Chicago knows -- you've heard it a thousand times --
we don't give clean bills of health. And what I've always been afraid of is if you say, you know, "Did Carlos or me -- are we in trouble?" I'm never going to say no, because that's just our practice. But I don't want people, when I answer those questions, to imply that someone is in trouble.
What I'm trying to do is explain caution about a complaint. When someone says something that's on tape, largely they're stuck with it. But when someone says something on tape about someone else, you usually want to do more investigation to verify what it is that happened. And we're going to do that investigation and verify what it is that happened, what didn't happen, and what the circumstances are.
There may be people who had no idea what was going on, had no idea they were being discussed. There may be other people who were involved in things they shouldn't have been involved in. And we're going to sort that out. And we're going to see -- you know, some things will be be black and white and some things will be shades of gray.
