The cover-up continues.

Mr. T

The cover-up continues. This past Sunday, Congressman Joe Sestak appeared on Meet the Press and continued to tap dance around the charge he made that he was offered a government job to drop out of the campaign. Here’s the exchange between Sestak and NBC’s David Gregory:

MR. GREGORY: Yes or no, straightforward question. Were you, were you offered a job, and what was the job?

REP. SESTAK: I was offered a job, and I answered that.

MR. GREGORY: You said no, you wouldn’t take the job. Was it the secretary of the Navy?

REP. SESTAK: Right. And I also said, “Look, I’m getting into this…

MR. GREGORY: Was it the secretary of the Navy job?

REP. SESTAK: Anything that go — goes beyond that is others — for others to talk about.

Well it’s not exactly “for others to talk about” Congressman Sestak.

If Sestak was really offered a job to drop out of the race, a crime occurred. If he is not being forthcoming about who offered him the job, what job he was offered, and the conditions surrounding the offer, Joe Sestak is covering up a crime.

Sestak’s Democratic opponent in the recent primary, Sen. Arlen Specter, along with Rep. Darrell Issa (R, Calif.), who is the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, have each suggested that should Sestak be telling the truth, such a job offer could constitute bribery, a federal crime.

Presidential mouthpiece Robert Gibbs was interviewed on Face the Nation this past weekend. He claimed that there was “nothing inappropriate” about the conversations the Pennsylvania lawmaker had with any administration staffers about a possible position within the administration

I think impeachment hearings are in order here. If not for this, Obama should be sent to Guantanamo for nominating Hillary as SoS so she wouldn't run against him in 2012.

Our democracy is in peril.

Issa is working very, very hard at throwing mud against the wall.

Well, I have heard an expert explain that if a bribe of a new job with the Obamao regime

was offered, that it will be a felony, and definately impeachable.

I'll go with the expert.

Obamao supporters are igoring the dirt in a tornado.

Not good, bark is falling off the ugly, corrupt Obamao regime tree.

BTW, now his approval rating is 42 percent.

A lot of people are very, very upset that they bought into

a butuski-ugly presidential performance so far, and looking uglier all the time.

Unfortunately, we don't treat the rule of law seriously enough. The West Wing had an episode in which Josh Lyman committed essentially the same crime. No wonder the Obama administration so flippantly flaunts the spirit of the law, as well as basic political ethics.

If Republicans were in charge, liberals would be calling for the prosecution of White House aides. And they'd be right about it, just like conservatives are right here.

Dirty politics. If the charges are true, there is definitely some form of punishment due.

If this was GWB the liberals would be crying for his head. But since it's good old Obammy, no big deal. Just like with the oil disaster in the Gulf. Finally, after 1 month there is criticism coming from the left and right. And Obama goes to San Francisco for a fund raiser. Can you picture if this was Bush? Shows that the left doesn't care whats right, just as long as a Democrat/Liberal is in power.

Mr. T

Some people think that the white house along with the liberal press will try to turn this around and blame it on Sestak. Almost like Linda Tripp, shoot the messenger and ignore the warning.

Arrogance.

Well, at least this "mudslinger" is protecting us from the Obama Administration's massive encroachment on our civil liberties.

Shame on you, Heck. Shame. Shame. Shame.

Paxton

Shame.

Those are two separate discussions, ditz.

DieHardBrownsFan

I'm smelling a troll. Smells kind of like a "mosquitozit".

Alo

More like a nasty breakup. And I'm going to go ahead and extricate myself from this while I still have some dignity.

See you guys on the football board.

We are seeing one cover up after the other for all of Obammys crap. We should of never allowed Steve Urkel to be president.

Steve, I don't get it. You don't like that the people police arrest are reminded of the rights they have under the Constitution? Or do you not like the Constitution affords them those rights at all?

I happened to watch a (very little) bit of Hannity last night - he isn't a favorite of mine - and he and the (very frightening) Dick Morris were talking about "High Crimes and Misdemenors" and a scandal of epic proportions.

If one were to look up a picture of "Politics" it would be a montage about this kind of stuff.

No big deal, IMHO.
