to stay out of the race against Arlen Specter.

So far the WH has stonewalled on the questions, which seem to come up daily at Gibbs' briefing.

So, it appears the WH may have violated federal law by bribing a congressman to stay out of the race.

Sestak confirms WH job offer to get out of Senate race - POLITICO Live - POLITICO.com

Quote:
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.

"I was offered a job, and I answered that," Sestak said. "Anything that goes beyond that is for others to talk about."
More lawlessness and UNaccountability from the most transparent WH - evah.

Our watchdog media is too busy smearing Rand Paul and the Texan schoolbook corrections to pay any mind to the bribery out of the White House.

Uh....no. Never heard of it!

Funny though......even with all the oil spewing, I can't seem to escape the Rand Paul contorversy.

Funny how they can find lots of room for that AND BP, too.

No....this is the media still in Barry's back pocket covering his corruption!! Pure and simple. This is crooked to no end!
