If I recall correctly, it is against the law to offer someone a job to induce them to drop out of a political campaign.

I know the law doesn’t matter to good Democrats, however, any alleged violations of law should be investigated, shouldn’t they? Or do we only investigate allegations against Republicans?

Omeegosh.

They use the media to tar and feather the GOP but its headlines if a GOPer threatens to complain.

[jra]

Good...not that anything will ever come of it.

[Bullish]

If this were George W. Bush in the white house they would have already started impeachment proceedings.

Obama thinks ethics laws are for others, not for them.

[South40]

I applaud Issa’s efforts but I’m sure he realizes you cannot unstink a turd.

[Wings-n-Wind]

Pass the popcorn.... please...

[Ann Archy]

THREATENS????? THREATENS???? WHY NOT DO IT???

Issa.....grow a set and file the complaint!!

[taxesareforever]

So far, the Republicans sound like all bark and no bite.

Holder will not move on this. We live in a Marxist Kenyan Banana Republic Regime, we are being sold out, day by day.

[Nachum]

The list, ping

[hinckley buzzard]

F* the ethics committee. File criminal charges against John Doe and subpoena Sestak to a grand jury. See how well the threat of being jailed for contempt for refusing to testify goes down among even the brain-soggy a-holes of Murtha-land.

[truthkeeper]

If Sestak covers up for the mob he's just as dirty as they are.

Good for Issa. Take no prisoners.

[ripley]

Hey, as the president said, “We Won.”

Democrats can do no wrong.

There’s nothing to see here, so move on. NOW!!!

IMHO

[PaleoBob]

This whole matter just makes it easier for Sestak to run AGAINST Obama in Nov., like the RAT in Pa-12 did to win. Give voters in Pa. any reason to vote Dem and they will. If Sestak can present himself as an enemy of Obama, he will win. Issa is just helping the Dems at this point. And for what? If they find out Emanuel made the offer, worst case, Emanuel resigns. That’s all this is good for. We are willing to trade a Senate seat for next to nothing—??

[MozarkDawg]

If the White House offered Sestak a job to drop out of the race, it could violate federal law that prohibits interfering in elections or promising employment for political activity. Issa predicted that a potential ethics violation could narrowly focus on covering up a felony or bringing dishonor to the House.

The Democrats were hell-bent to discover some illegality with regard to Newt Gingrich, all they were able to uncover over months of special prosecutor ethics investigation was the improper use of an 800-number on the Floor during his Special Orders speeches to the American public and the co-mingling of office staff, someone stepped over the bounds of public/private matters use. That cost Gingrich not just dough but all manner of public support and was no crime whatever.

Here, a violation of federal law, not just by Sestak but by 0bama, his minions, for making the offer with the ability to make good on it -- according to Judge Napolitano, that is the bar, the level to be reached -- you watch, Issa is going to be lambasted, not just by Dems but by the lamestream just for seeking the inquiry. These people are predictable and so pathetic.

Go get him Issa!
