In the end it may not end up mattering what the actual arrangement was; the only thing that really will matter is whether it appears to be a lapse in judgment.
I think that, as a politician, you have to be extremely careful that what you're doing doesn't raise any questions of impropriety. Emanuel's a smart guy; I just wonder why he would have gotten himself wrapped up into something like this.
