??? Dell, it is indeed all there, in the Sun Times copy of the transcript you posted. Start and the beginning, and read. You will see Fitzgerald say exactly what I said he did in my earlier post quoting him.
You even said, quoting part of the transcript:
Quote:
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.

Yes, look before the part you quoted, and you will see the part Fitzegerald said that I quoted.
Dell, my previous post was:
Quote:
I tried to find the articles with the original press conference (not sure if I watched it or read it), but all I could find were repeated references to it (check out MediaMatters for one)
"Prosecutor and U.S. attorney Patrick Fitzgerald stated during a December 9 press conference that the criminal complaint "makes no allegations about the president-elect whatsoever -- his conduct," and Fitzgerald cautioned the press to "not cast aspersions on people for being named or being discussed or if you learn they're being interviewed."
Then Fitzgerald went on to point out where Blago called Obama a muther-effer for offering nothing but appreciation if he puts Obama's candidate in the Senate seat.
Obama a few days ago wanted to put out details of the conversations his office had with Blago's office, but the Prosecutor asked them not to do that yet.

And the quotes are indeed right there in the transcript you are referencing:
"I should make clear, the complaint makes no allegations about the president-elect whatsoever, his conduct."
"But we make no charges about any of the other people who are referenced in the complaint, most not by name. And people should not cast aspersions on people who are discussed on the wiretap or bug tapes for conduct when other people are scheming to figure out how to approach them for different things. We hope you'll bear that in mind and not cast aspersions on people for being named or being discussed, or if you learn they're being interviewed."
