Did Obama Commit a Crime?

Congressman Joe Sestak (D, PA) has openly stated that the White House offered him a bribe to drop out of the Senatorial Primary in Pennsylvania. They wanted Senator Arlen Spector (D, PA) to be their candidate for the US Senate. Sestak says that he refused the offer and went on to win the senate primary by defeating Arlen Spector.

On the Gretta Van Susteran TV program Sestak stated "They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job." In other words, if you drop-out of the primary, we’ll give you a high profile job in this administration. Rumor says he was offered the Secretary of the Navy position. Sestak refuses to tell exactly who he spoke with about the job offer.

If his allogations are true, this is more than just another Chicago-style bit of politics. This is a violation of Federal law and an impeachable offense! A federal official cannot promise employment in the Federal government in return for a political favor or political act. Not only that, but it could also be charged that the White House was trying to “fix” the Pennsylvania elections, which is another serious charge.

Of course the White House has tried to minimize the issue. White House Secretary Robert Gibbs admitted that there were converstations, and said that “Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into converstations that were had with Congressman Sestak, and nothing inappropriate happened.” Well that’s fine for him to say, but should these people be asked to testify under oath to get the REAL TRUTH out?

So when the request for a special council to investigate was initiated, Eric Holder (AG) refused to proceed. Isn’t that like putting the fox in charge of the hen house? The Attorney General’s refusal to take action is in the very least suspicious. If the White House staff has nothing to hide, then why not proceed with the investigation? Maybe there was a crime committed. Then, we would need to know what Obama knew and when he knew it. If he was involved, it could mean impeachment. No wonder they don't want any investigation.

This could be a s important as the Watergate scandal with Richard Nixon. Obama could be impeached if he is involved with this.

Doesn’t the American public have a right to know the truth? We need a special investigation.

Action To Take
Demand an investigation of these allogations. Have those involved testify under oath so we can get to the TRUTH!
