Former President Clinton, by his own admission, appears to have committed another felony, by violating a crime he signed into law. Formerly convicted of perjury, President Clinton's assertions of integrity and honesty are going to be dubious and circumspect; however, according to 18 USC 600, if a 'job' or 'position' is offered to entice a candidate to drop out of a race you have committed a crime and an impeachable offence.
President Obama's White House is agreeing with Clinton's implausible story of offering Congressman Sestak a 'nonpaying position' for dropping out of the Senate seat primary race against Arlen Specter, at least that is the story for the time being. The Obama White House has a tendency to alter a story for political advantage; however, the stakes are much higher, this time Obama is scrambling for political survival rather than advantage.
The Democrats have offered a weak defense by arguing that it is done all the time; yet if it is done all the time and is an accepted practice, why was there a law passed to prevent the practice?
Congressman Issa R CA, ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, is calling for an investigation by either the FBI or the Justice Department. Since Attorney General Holder functions more as a political hack instead of an Attorney General, Issa's request to the Justice Department is rhetorical and only serves to illustrate the corruption among some of the nation's highest office holders.
Congressman Issa:
If they offered a job, it's a crime, it's clearly a crime. What the White House is now saying happened, falls under the statute.
President Obama issued a two page report on Friday, after calls from Republicans and Democrats for an explanation concerning Sestak's allegation that he was offered a job to pull out of the race and allow Arlen Specter to have the Democratic nomination. The report conceded the fact that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel

Of course they won’t investigate... That’s like having a group of foxes investigate who got into the hen house.
This is just one reason eric holder was picked to be the attorney general.
Justice won’t do it. FBI is afraid to do it. That is why we have the special prosecutor law. He/She will do it.
Clinton was smarter - he would “investigate” this sort of thing, thus effectively removing it from consideration, saying they couldn’t “compromise” the “investigation”.
Perhaps when we get a new Congress there can be serious investigations. I could see Obama being impeached.
really?really?really? I am shocked!
Obama’s sycophants are saying it’s not a “compensated” position. The law says any”. What part of “any” don’t they understand? Or maybe it’s like what part of “illegal” don’t they understand.
There aren't enough people left in Washington with a patriot's heart and a spine.
Funny, he also signed into law the statute that made it legal for the plaintiff to pursue a “pattern of behavior” in sexual harassment cases.
This is the evidence that he sought to avoid allowing in court in the case against him that led him to perjure himself.
Speaking of the Justice Dept....WHY is Eric Holder in Louisiana?
It’s also the reason why an unqualified Obama was routed into the Presidency.
Thaty layer of melanin can protect people from more than sunlight in modern day America.
He’s a liar, a bastard, a traitor, a Marxist and an imposter - regardless of his color, ethnicity, or religion.
Democrats:How to have fun with felonies.
He’s a brother. And if anyone doubts - Oprah Winfrey announced on National Television what should be most important. It is okay though, their hand has been overplayed in arrogance.
Same thing took place with Janet Reno...
bump
“Same thing took place with Janet Reno...”
Yep, she paid mightily for Waco, didn’t she?
(sigh)
Once again, we have an administration saying “Nothing to see here. Move along. Back to your lives, citizens. Leave it to the professionals.”
I don’t know about you, but every day my anger grows just a little more intense with each new revelation. Should be in fine shape by the time November comes around...
