White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet RacesFor the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.

the wolf says that the fox was not trying to get into the hen house.... What are we that stupid?
Why would Sestak want to lie? I can't see any reasonable motive. Indeed, getting into this kind of a fight with the WH would be all downside for him and no upside. Hence, I believe him.
