Darrell Issa digs in on the 'Sestak bribe' story

Rep. Lamar Smith (R-Tex.) got the made-for-YouTube moment of last week's House Judiciary Committee hearing with Attorney General Eric Holder: Smith repeatedly attempted to make Holder say that "radical Islam" inspired terrorism, and Holder looked for ways to be diplomatic and avoid saying it. But if Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) wins Tuesday's U.S. Senate primary in Pennsylvania, expect to hear more about the issue on which Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) grilled Holder -- Sestak's off-the-cuff comment that the Obama administration offered him a job if he would drop out of the race. (He says he was being recruited before Sen. Arlen Specter switched parties to become a Democrat, then annoyed the White House by sticking to his campaign.)

It’s a good thing this didn’t involve Republicans. It would have been Watergate all over again. /s

misspoke [Urban Dictionary]

To tell a blatant lie. Coined by Hillary Clinton - Hillary Clinton has insisted that she simply “misspoke” when she claimed she landed in Bosnia under sniper fire 12 years ago. However, Mrs Clinton says she simply made a mistake due to sleep deprivation, which “proves I’m human”.
