Rep. Joe Sestak, winner of the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary, is
refusing to provide more information on what job he was offered by a White
House official to drop of that race, although he confirmed again that the incident
occurred. SEARCH THIS BLOG
The White House was backing incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) in the
primary. Sestak acknowledged in an interview in February that he was offered a
position by an unnamed White House official - a potential violation of federal law -
but has not offered any specifics on conversation. Republicans are trying to use

I have heard of federal criminal prosecutions where candidates were given

offers to pay off their campaign debt if they would drop out of the race. The
offeror was prosecuted. I am sure the story will be that the job offer came
because the administration thought he was the best person for the job and
that it had NOTHING to do with the senate race. Of course that would be a
lie, but lying is one of the things this administration does best.

It's worth noting that Sestak is not at fault for being offered a job, and in
fact, he should be commended for spurning the offer. The person who
offered the job should be investigated. Although I am not a Sestak supporter
(I don't have enough knowledge of the race to make an informed decision
regarding which candidate I would support), it is to his credit that he both
refused the offer, and answered the inquiry honestly.

Either Sestak or the White House--read Barack Obama, David Axelrod,

Rahm Emanuel, Robert Gibbs--is lying. No gray zone. Odds of Obama
telling the truth, thus not sacrificing Sestak's credibility? One to one
gazillion to the gazillionth power. Odds of the state-controlled minion media
accurately and objectively reporting this, including pursuing a final yes/no
answer from Obama and the White House? One to one gazillion to the
gazillionth power and that product then taken to the gazillionth power.
Everyone, everyone, but Mr. Mendacity himself, Barack Hussein Obama,
will end up under his bus, sooner or later. All with the help of his
manufacturers and shills in the former Fourth Estate. To think the admiral
will be sunk for the Marxist Chicago punk. Perhaps the admiral will follow
the same honor code to which he agreed while at the Naval Academy.
"Midshipmen are persons of integrity: They stand for that which is right.
They tell the truth and ensure that the full truth is known. They do not lie."
Lying comes through refusal to tell the whole truth or intentional omission.
Sestak knows that. We know that. Even prevaricator Obama knows that.
But if Sestak continues to refuse to reveal details, then he assures that a
collateral casualty becomes that very honor code. So what, though? Given
Obama's lack of honor and integrity, deconstructing yet another morally
anchored code fits with the regime leader. It means nothing to him. But it
should to Joe Sestak.

Trying to use this against Sestak in a campaign is just crazy, I mean

literally Sestak only said he was offered a job (or 'illegal payment' for
dropping out if you want to call it that) and he said no. Obviously Sestak
refused to play politics as a usual, if he had he would have said 'yes' and
dropped out of the senate race. If you want to use it against Obama then
fine, that's more reasonable, but lets not persecute a guy just got getting an

other side strike first and weakly after the primaries, such as with the
attempt to tar Rand Paul with theoretical Ray C. Ism. Then smack them
upside the head with a real-life trump card/baseball bat. You can review
what Rand Paul said in its entirety. But we won't get the full story on
Sestak -- either from the Casa Blanca or Sestak. The common Obama
thread: Hamid Karzai and Afghanistan. Felipe Calderon, Arizona, and illegal
immigration. Joey Sez. See no illegal, speak no illegal (publicly or near a

Mr. Sestak: If you don't come clean, your whole campaign will stink to high

quote that your are Obama Progressive, you should remember the fact that
his administration tried to do something illegal, in addition to using an aged
Senator whom they knew would sell out the PA voters...much like one
would use a hooker..once they got his votes, they left him to hang out there
like so much flotsam. You need to understand that we PA voters are sick of
slime and if you don't want to be cast in that light, you need to be open. I

Mr. Specter, offered him a job in exchange for dropping out of the race. "
"Mr. Schieffer then asked Mr. Sestak, a subsequent guest on the program,
whether the White House had offered him a job to get out. Mr. Sestak said
that when he was asked that question several months ago, “I said yes.”
Gibbs had confirmed earlier on the same show that the White House met

DID,(FREEDOM FIGHTERS!) By saying president Reagan "CALLS THEM
FREEDOM FIGHTERS"! They then continue to call them "contras"!
However when it came to the COMMUNISTS calling THEIR WARS, WARS
of LIBERATION??The MASS MEDIA also called them WARS of

Here's what I found are impeachable offenses. My research found that two-
thirds of the senate are needed to impeach a president. That's why no one
is interested in doing anything about this: Not enough senate votes to make
it stick. It would be a waste of time. Impeachable Offenses Article II,
Section 4 of the Constitution says, "The President, Vice President and all
civil Officers of the United States, shall be removed from Office on
Impeachment for, and Conviction of, Treason, Bribery, or other high Crimes
and Misdemeanors." Are any of those acts "Treason, Bribery, or other High
Crimes and Misdemeanors?" Constitutional lawyers say, "High Crimes and
Misdemeanors" are (1) real criminality -- breaking a law; (2) abuses of
power; (3) "violation of public trust" as defined by Alexander Hamilton in the
Federalist Papers. I In the past, Congress has issued Articles of
Impeachment for acts in three general categories: Exceeding the
constitutional bounds of the powers of the office. Behavior grossly
incompatible with the proper function and purpose of the office. Employing
the power of the office for an improper purpose or for personal gain.

It's fine for Mr. Sestak to decide to let the matter drop but he has created a

charging public officials with this very crime in northeastern PA as part of a

You know, the really sad thing is that Obama and his Democrat allies will
probably get away with this potential scandal scott-free. From what I've
seen of him, he's pretty good at covering up his misdeeds or making his
actions justified no matter how bad they are. However, he has gone a step
further. That is, about a month or two ago, he told his voters to stop
watching the news all the time. He said to them they should go do
something else while trusting him to run the country. A few weeks ago,
there have been reports that Obama and President Gibbs have been giving
fewer press conferences (I think) to the reporters. Recently, He has been
going around colleges to address the graduation commencements by
saying that the students should not believe the negative things in the news.
Well, he said that the students should watch out for stories that sound
gloomy or distrustful. Of course, Obama is saying that the students
shouldn't believe the crimes or mistakes he has been doing or committing.
The bribing of the politicians to support his health care bill. Appointing
people with checkered or scandelous past lives. And so forth. What's worse
is that former President Clinton is getting into it. Have read about portions of
his Yale commencement speech? It's sort of like Obama's message of
telling our students to be wary of the things that are printed on paper or
broadcast over the waves. For some reason, why do I get the feeling Clinton
is helping Obama out? I hope these students don't become brainwashed by
Obama and Clinton. If our young students' minds get messed up on
account of Obama and Democrats, I hope those politicians pay for their
sins.

If this were Bush, he'd be claiming executive privilege and national security,
and any Democrat calling for investigation would be screamed at as
unpatriotic. Sestak served in the White House before under Clinton. There
aren't many firmly Democratic politicians who were top military
commanders. So offering him a job isn't a stretch. Sorry wingnuts, you're
gonna have to prove this somehow.
Posted By: pd nyc | May 24, 2010 at 08:26 AM Report Abuse
Well, Sestak simply did not like the job that he was offered, and decided
instead to run for Senate - or continue to run for Senate is the most likely
explanation. Any and all of this could be a lie. The obomunist may have
wanted Specter (I prefer Spectre) to THINK that they were supporting him,
hence the "apparent" but truly non-existent job offer to make Spectre think
that they were being truthful and that Sestak was "going rogue". Or some
other permutation / combination of lies. But it is all Democrat politics, so
one can be assured that the lying involved was legion. In November -- when
the Ballot Report Card is published, be sure to be on the Honor Roll. And
remember, that you can't be on the Honor Roll if you have any "D's".

I don't care about Obama, Bush, the Easter bunny or Santa Claus. If
Sestak refuses to name the person who made the attempted bribe then he
(Sestak) should be jailed for contempt. I am an Indy voter who will not vote

slimeball politician attempting to get elected. Out the briber or shut the hell

pd nyc: It isn't whether they offered him a job. It is that they offered him a

noy make sense at all because Sestak was down by 30 points, and he's

name the person or show the offer. This is Sestak trying to look like a WH

because all assumed he would get squashed by Specter. But any offer was
not a bribe

Representative Sestak - It is not the crime, it's the cover-up. You need to
follow through by telling what you know. It's time to put Mr. Sestak under

candidate for U. S. Senator. Former Admiral. He is aware that a federal
crime has possibly been committed. He states in public that he is a
witness to that crime since he is the subject of a probable illegal act
perpetrated by a member of the current administration, perhaps on order
from the President. And, he says it is up to others to shine the light on this
possible crime??? How could anyone in Pennsylvania even think about

Rep Sestak does his service in uniform dishonor with the position he is
taking - "Anybody else has to decide on what they will say upon their

possible violations of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, did he wait on the
violating party to "say something" before he took any action? Rep Sestak
needs to publically come clean about this incident or stop refering to his
time in uniform as he does his fellow servicemembers a disservice with the
way he is handling this situation.

So in other words, Sestak has information that could potentially be a

violation of federal law but refuses to discuss it because it will hurt his
chances of being elected in November. That potentially makes him
complicit in the crime. So a congressional inquiry should be called, and he
should be subpoenaed to testify so we know who is meddling in the election
process taking choices away from the citizens of Pennsylvania.

It seems that Vice Admiral Sestak has forgotten a few things since his
days at the Naval Academy. Otherwise, he would not take this hands off
approach. The honor concept that all of the service acadamies teach is very
inconsistent with his actions here. There is a link below to the current
version from the Naval Academy (the words have changed periodically, but
the core concepts remain the same). The key concept applicable to this
situation is this - "They tell the truth and ensure that the full truth is known."
Vice Admiral Sestak has an obligation to ensure that the full truth is known,
not to leave this floating for the media to find a way to ignore. Here's the link
to the Naval Academy's honor concept:

whoever made the offer (Rahm?) should be prosecuted. Any refusal by
