Obama to absolve Emanuel in gov. scandal

President-elect Barack Obama’s aides plan to release a report this week absolving incoming chief of staff Rahm Emanuel of any impropriety in his contacts with the disgraced Illinois governor’s office, Democratic sources tell Politico.

The report is expected Monday or Tuesday. Obama said last week that he was delaying it at the request of federal prosecutors.

It must be a wonderful thing to be able to investigate and "absolve" yourself.
