Not a 2 way highway is it! When Democrats do something as they have in this case, it is personally fine and acceptable, NO WAY JOSE, i don't think so, why give them a free pass. This needs to be looked into, this is just unacceptable, and should not be tolerated by us in the least. Something does not seem to be adding up!

LOL. You attack the media for reporting it and believe a couple liars like Obama and Clinton. Yep typical dem lemming.

As for the law..........

Section 18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. ... 'If you'll get out, we'll appoint you to a federal office,' – that's a violation of the law."

Let's face it folks...probably the only way to make them pay for this is through the election. Everyone involved is a Dem especially Holder, they are not going to police themselves, but I for one will have a long memory come 2012. This administration promised transparency but all we got and will continue to get is nothing but closed doors.

Did he ask them to stop running in any other election? NO Not the same . Did he ask for something in return? No Not the same thing

He didnt offer them a job in return they drop out of a race
