Wonder who asked the question? Probably Jake Tapper. He’s getting better.

Investigated ourselves and found that once again, we did nothing wrong.

Have a nice day. :)

The communists party with King Obama the communists leader fear nothing and nothing will upset his empire. The only chance we have will be 60 seats in the Senate and the majority in the House. Otherwise we will be under communists rule for over a decade. Groups are already pushing the FCC to close Fox news declaring it using hate speech. Watch out!

Maybe this is what the Obozo meant when he said he was going to have a “laser-like focus on jobs.”

“Romanoff turned Messina down”

So does this mean and offer WAS made by the administration?

How to you ‘turn down’ something that wasn’t offered to begin with?

Some Democrat is lying... but.. I repeat myself.

So the following;

“Messina called and emailed Romanoff last September to see if he was still interested in a position at USAID”

is supposedly NOT a job offer? Do they really think we are all that stupid?

In the REAL WORLD this is DEFINITELY a ‘counter-offer’ for employment! Let’s look at it this way... You apply for a job, and are passed over for another applicant. Months later, after you have decided you no longer want that job they call you offering you a position at their company seeing as they heard you were seeking a job with their competitor and their original applicant didn’t work out. How can this NOT be an offer for a job with the administration?

How can this NOT be a bribe intended to remove competition from their chosen candidate?

I honestly can’t believe they would be so ‘open’ about this. I’m sure this goes on a LOT, but it doesn’t make it right... Enough is enough — throw ALL these people in jail, and that includes the candidates for office that did not IMMEDIATELY report these job offers/bribes to the proper authorities.

Do they think we're stupid. William Jefferson should have tried this defense...

No, that wasn't really my money in my freezer, that was someone else's money who was storing it there to demonstrate what might be available to me if I worked hard and kept my nose clean. It was a motivational tool, not a bribe.

If ABC is writing about this, they must feel it is a non-story and NOTHING will happen to Obozo.

“Months earlier, the President had endorsed Senator Michael Bennet for the Colorado seat, and Messina wanted to determine if it was possible to avoid a costly battle between two supporters”

Suuure, it was all to avoid a costly battle....had nothing to do with getting Obama’s darling Bennet out of a primary fight, not at all folks, nothing to see here.

C’mon now. Messina asked Romanoff if he was interested in the job. When Romanoff said he wasn’t, Messina didn’t offer it to him. See? It just depends on what the meaning of is is.

To: Chet 99; All

Are we to believe there are only these TWO?!

EVERY TIME that Obama has abused his Executive appointment power in this manner to influence the outcome of a Democratic primary, Obama has "saved" MILLIONS of campaign dollars for HIS political party to use against his political opponents in the general Congressional elections.

That is CLEARLY against the law!

Just like cockroaches , when you see a couple ...

... there's many, many more hiding under the cupboard.

If this were an isolated incident, the “cover story” might actually hold water. They guy had previously inquired about a USAID job, potential openings arose, but they didn’t want to offer the job to a guy who would have to quit it (or take a huge leave of absence) to run a political campaign.

Certainly makes sense in and of itself.

The problem isn’t the incident, but the pattern. Combine this with Sestak and the Blago mess, and it gets harder and harder to just say “coincidence”.
