“In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story yesterday that the Obama administration offered him a “high-ranking” government post if he would not run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania’s Democratic primary.”

The Spectator is calling this a “Bombshell”, the reason being is that it’s Demcorats who are accusing the White House of offering jobs for favors.

When it involves a Republican, the Press is an arm of the Prosecution.

When it’s a Democrat, the Press is an arm of the Defense.

Either them or Acorn. Wait Acorn is busy changing its name to obfuscate its corruption so its probably SEIU.

I'm not a lawyer, but under Title 19, Chaper 11, section 201 (Bribery of Public Officials and Witnesses), offering a job in exchange for dropping out of a race would be bribery, assuming that deciding not to run for an office would be considered an "official act". Offering a bribe, even if it is not accepted, is a crime.

(b) Whoever—

(1) directly or indirectly, corruptly gives, offers or promises anything of value to any public official or person who has been selected to be a public official, or offers or promises any public official or any person who has been selected to be a public official to give anything of value to any other person or entity, with intent—

(A) to influence any official act;

Oops, typo, should read “Title 18”, the link is correct though.

I wonder if Rod Blagojevich (IL, ex-Gov) is writing this stuff down. It might just come in handy as it “appears” to establish a pattern of criminal wrongdoing.

Blago better watch out that he doesn't end up like James McDougal.

For this to go anywhere, it has to be reported seriously and followed up. Maybe Jake Tapper can make a name for himself.

*** One, this is the Chicago way! ***

Actually, in Chicago this kind of thing gets people put in Federal Prison. There are scores of people in Club Fed, from both parties, who've been convicted of corruption or misuse of 'public funds' (campaigning while on the job).

US Attorney Patrick Fitzgerald (yes him) has been relentless in his pursuit of corrupt politicians. From City Hall to the State Gubmint, they're all shaking in their boots waiting for the next boot to fall, lackey to squeal, or Subpoena slipped under their door.

Fitz is the BEST thing to ever hit Chicago. Better than Eliott Ness or any IRS bookkeeper who got Al Capone.
(and the IL GOP hates his guts. And THAT is a GOOD thing, they're corrupt to the core. The same as the Daley Machine)

LOONY LEFT

Great show yesterday by Rush. Not a dull minute. Get THIS:
Rush Limbaugh:
“What you do not know is that four of Karl Marx’s children literally starved to death while he was researching his work on communism, running around with intellectuals like the very wealthy Friedrich Engels. Four of Karl Marx’s own children literally starved to death while he was running around putting together all the wonderful aspects of communism.”

Maybe, just maybe, the democrats’ sense of self-preservation is kicking in and they will try to remove the cancer that is eating their party (and their country) alive.
