Obama Questioned by FBI for Two Hours

Politico reports:
It seemed like a typical day: a trip to the gym, back home for a shower and then a press conference followed by a day in the Chicago transition office. But last Thursday, President-elect Barack Obama was interviewed for two hours by two FBI agents and two federal prosecutors investigating charges that Illinois Gov. Rod Blagojevich had tried to sell off the Senate seat Obama vacated after winning the presidency.

Obama's interview — and those with two of his top incoming White House lieutenants, Rahm Emanuel and Valerie Jarrett — only became public Tuesday, the day before Christmas Eve, when they were mentioned in passing in the transition's five-page report intended to demonstrate that no ethical or legal lines had been crossed in their dealings with Blagojevich. None of the three have yet spoken to the press about the investigation since the report's release.
Obama was interviewed for two hours but much of the MSM tells us he has nothing to do with Blagojevich or Operation Board Games! Just a reminder,here is an actual court document where Tony Rezko claims Fitzgerald's prosecutors are looking for dirt on Obama and Blagojevich.Two hours is a long time to talk to the FBI when you claim you've had no contact with Blagojevich.Obama is the first black President-Elect but he's also the first President-Elect to be questioned by the FBI about a major criminal investigation.Did the FBI ask Obama about this subject or was it just about Blagojevich?
