Either Sestak is lying and there was never an offer

This strikes me dubious, as the White House confirms some kind of conversation(s) took place, regardless they claim nothing *inappropriate* occurred. Sestak must be made to disclose just whom it was who made him the offer, the details of the conversation. This is more than simply having a high-ranking pol offer to make campaign speeches on your behalf, as F-Chuck Todd tried to claim yesterday.

Sestak stepped in it by admitting he was made an offer, and he has not retracted his claim. It is now incumbent upon the powers-that-be to investigate it thoroughly -- that does not mean the White House gets to absolve itself of any wrong-doing, either.

I have a Newspaper at my desk I use to taunt Liberal co-workers with.

Date: December 20, 1998
BIG Headline: CLINTON IMPEACHED

I would love to add one more Newspaper to my collection.

As Obama is fond of stating: He “won!”

He is responsible.

And this crime is just the viewable portion of his cold iceberg.

[NavyCanDo]

As expected, the Liberals were all over the place yesterday with their “what’s the big deal, it happens all the time in politics” response. Yea, unless a Republican is involved, then its the worse crime imaginable.

It will never get to that point.

He said she said.
Going to be hard to tell which liar is lying the most in this case, unless some tapes can be found.

Fire all of them, next election!

RE :”Rep. Joe Sestak, the winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, says quite openly and repeatedly that he was offered a job by the White House if he would drop out of the race against Sen. Arlen Specter. Having secured Specter's conversion to the Democratic Party, thus giving the party a filibuster-proof majority in the Senate, the Obama administration obviously sought to keep its word to Specter that it would do its utmost to deliver the Democratic nomination to him. According to Sestak, that included a job offer”

Call me cynical but I am wondering if Joe Sestak is just keeping this story alive so he can tell PA voters that he is an ‘outsider’ and not working for Obama but the PA voters instead. The White House doesn't care about this story because they know they can control any investigations and can just deny anything wrong happened. They don't care if Sestak wins 2010 against Toomey by running against Obama.

This theory will be proven wrong if this story goes anyplace.

ANOTHER US Senate Democrat candidate, Andrew Romanoff of Colorado has ACCUSED Jim Messina, Obama's Dep. Chief of Staff, of OFFERRING HIM A JOB TO GET OUT OF HIS RACE!!!

FELONIES....THESE ARE FELONIES!!!!

Impeachment is initially a House function.
Don’t hold your breath, as someone will be under the bus before the elections.

[MamaTexan]

§ 762. In the first place, the nature of the functions to be performed. The offences, to which the power of impeachment has been, and is ordinarily applied, as a remedy, are of a political character. Not but that crimes of a strictly legal character fall within the scope of the power, (for, as we shall presently see, treason, bribery, and other high crimes and misdemeanours are expressly within it;) but that it has a more enlarged operation, and reaches, what are aptly termed, political offences, growing out of personal misconduct, or gross neglect, or usurpation, or habitual disregard of the public interests, in the discharge of the duties of political office.

Pretty soon we’ll be called racist for asking.

The last few weeks have been very fortuitous for Pat Toomey. First, Sestak defeated Specter (along with the state party establishment) in the Democratic primary after a bloody and expensive battle. Second, the issue of the White House’s alleged offer to Sestak to get him out of the primary has re-surfaced. Sestak will be an easier opponent to define based off his voting record since joining Congress in 2007. He’s voted for everything in the Pelosi agenda and ranks as one of the most liberal members in Congress. Every day that is spent talking about Sestak’s claim of a job offer from the White House can only help Toomey. Toomey will also be on more equal footing with fundraising against Sestak. He had a very strong 1st quarter of 2010, raising $2.3 million and ending with over $4 million on hand. Sestak just spent a large portion of his $5.1 million war chest defeating Specter.

“It depends on what the meaning of the word ‘is’”

2) The Johnnie Cochran defense:

“if the offer doesn’t fit , you must acquit.”

3) The Chewbacca Defense.

“None of this makes sense!”

[The Sons of Liberty]

I’m guessing that any paper trails, recordings, etc. that even remotely mentions Sestak have already been purged. It then boils down to “he said, she said” and that is tough to prosecute.

[Huck]

Is it a high crime and misdemeanor to offer someone something of value in return for withdrawing from a U.S. Senate race?

Where's the crime? I don't see it.

[ssaftler]

I think we need to get Jack Bauer back, nObama and his posse is more corrupt than Charles Logan and his twin Richard Nixon ever were!

[lacrew]

I think suggesting impeachment of the messiah is an impeachable offense.

Lets see what other red meat stories the media have sunk their teeth into:

O’s lack of birth cedentials

O’s illegal electioneering in Kenya, while a sitting senator

O’s involvement with Resko

O’s sweetheart real estate deal

O’s involvement with the Blago senate seat sale

O’s involvement as a state senator appropriating money for housing projects that were never built.

This latest problem is sadly just going to be added to a long list.
