Nixon----ordered an office to be broken into= breaking the law so he would have been impeached. Even if he thought a president is above the law and you can get away with such trifles as breaking the law he learned better. Plus his administration lied to a grand jury, another law they broke.
Clinton----fooled around with an intern= no breaking of a law except the marriage vow of fidelity so he would not have been impeached. He lied to a grand jury so he broke the law there. If he had been truthful like David Letterman about his infidelity he could not have been impeached.
Obama----administration may have broken the law interfering with a person who wants to run for office by offering him a job to quit the race. If the trail leads to Obama and his WH he should be impeached. Maybe every politician does it but those who do (and are caught doing it) need to be impeached and or made to pay for breaking a law even though they think they are above such trifles.
At least Obama had a non-government official offer the job.
It looks like not only did Reagan make such an offer himself, but, his daughter was running for that office!
Is it against the law to offer someone a job while that person is running for office? Because I don't understand how it can be proven the job was offered soley for the reason of not running against Spector.
It has to be innocuous if not that would mean Sestek threw Obama under the bus which I don't believe.
It is strange that it is taking so long for an "explanation" from the White House.
Even former Attorney General Michael Mukasey, appointed by President George W. Bush, said on Fox News that it was questionable if there was any crime and that a prosecution “really is a stretch.” Richard Painter, who was Mr. Bush’s chief ethics lawyer, has written that it hardly amounts to an illegal bribe. And Mr. Sestak himself said he did not think it was a crime.
“If I ever thought anything had been wrong about this, I would have reported it,” Mr. Sestak said. He added, “I understand Washington, D.C., is often about political deals.”
More lawlessness and UNaccountability from the most transparent WH - evah.
You my friend are so right! something definitely not adding up here, will we ever know the real story, With This Administration and this President, 2+2 =5 something not adding up here! That is the thing about Obama seems problems always seem to shift somehwere else. Or too someone else. He is not trustworthy, just as my Democratic good friend now admits to me.
I wonder what Blagojevich is saying about the Chicago style politics of the Obama administration? If nothing comes of the Federal job offer to Sestak, for the exchange of him getting out of the race, then the case against Blagojevich isn't worth the time for the Feds to pursue.
