Sestak has repeatedly said, he kept his honor in all this...tells me the White House committed an impeachable offense.

Oh nevermind, the first black president will never be prosecuted...

He may be pre-empting the Admin to cover his own ... vulnerability.

If someone at the White House offered him a bribe to stay out of Senate race, they broke the law.

Even if they did, would it be illegal? They were not trying to influence Sestak's actions as a member of the House. They were trying to influence his actions as a private citizen who was deciding whether to run for the Senate. I know that is a very fine point, but most government corruption laws are about trying to influence someone in their position as a government official. I don't know if offering a non-civil service government position to someone would be illegal.

Dick Morris said on Hannity last night that most likely Specter agreed to change parties last year, but as a condition said that he didn’t want to have a primary for the Senate race.

The WH was probably just trying to hold up their end of the bargain by attempting to lure Sestak away with a job offer.

It’s time for some ambitious Federal Attorney to impanel a Grand Jury.

In Colorado, we have a Democrat by the name of Romanoff (He was the Speaker of the Couse), who openly admits he was offered a job by the Obama administration not to run against sitting the sitting Senator Bennett (who Obama supports).

Yet not a word in the paper.

A few talk shows have confronted him, and he has admitted it more than once.

At the Dem. caucus last week, Romanoff took the most votes over Bennett. Obama has got to be angry over that.

Probably both...because both are normal courses of action for politicians and this WH.

Food for thought: Why doesn’t Sestak simply say that he misspoke? That he WAS offered a job but no one said it would be in exchange for not running...THAT would simply be a natural consequence of taking the job?

Is it because he is a moral person? (Come on! He’s a dimocrat!)

Or, perhaps, does he fear a paper trail?

This would be VERY easy to dodge...unless you feared being caught in a lie. There must be a record some where.l

This is so good! Sestak has really stepped in it. What is the Dim’s exit strategy? Of course they are obfuscating and refusing a special counsel. My bet is that Sestak will be heavily leaned on to get out of the race. Better to lose PA than risk an impeachable scandal. Sestak could also be “convinced” to backtrack on his statements. This would undoubtedly kill Sestak’s campaign (and expose him to House ethics charges), but at least overall damage to zero could be contained. The only way out is for Sestak to be the fall guy. I hope that Sestak has a good life insurance policy. After all accidents do happen during Dim administrations.
But, I think that zero is too proud and power hungry to let another Senate campaign go down right now. At least for now we will be able to watch the Dims squirm and twist in their sewage of lies.
Enjoy.
