Sestak White House scandal called 'impeachable offense'
'It's Valerie Plame, only bigger, a high crime and misdemeanor'

If a Democratic member of Congress is to be believed, there's someone in the Obama administration who has committed a crime – and if the president knew about it, analysts say it could be grounds for impeachment.

"This scandal could be enormous," said Dick Morris, a former White House adviser to President Bill Clinton, on the Fox News Sean Hannity show last night. "It's Valerie Plame only 10 times bigger, because it's illegal and Joe Sestak is either lying or the White House committed a crime.

"Obviously, the offer of a significant job in the White House could not be made unless it was by Rahm Emanuel or cleared with Rahm Emanuel," he said. If the job offer was high enough that it also had Obama's apppoval, "that is a high crime and misdemeanor."

"In other words, an impeachable offense?" Hannity asked.
I sure hope Rahm Rambo Deadfish's days are numbered.
I think he is a thug of the first order.

And he can take Holder and Geithner with him.

Yet Holder says no investigation. OK. Typical. No surprise is it. I just don't understand this administration. Is this not Holders job?

I am flabbergasted!

Probably no more than has been hidden by every other Administration we've ever had.

I would pay top dollar just to be able to read J. Edgar Hoover's notes. I'll bet there's some goodies in there.

Could be, but looking at the past and the wrongs committed there, does not excuse the present.

No, but it does explain why the present will probably end up just like the past...put off till it's forgotten. Or, he might just say "I've moved on..."

I have a feeling it may not be so easy for the Obama administration to get out of this one with a simple, "nothing illegal was done" this time. Right now many Democratic politicians are clamoring for the truth also.

This just in........................ oh yeah, let's blame it on President Clinton.

EXCLUSIVE: White House asked Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about Senate run
Senior White House advisers asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about whether he was serious about running for Senate, and to feel out whether he'd be open to other alternatives, according to sources familiar with the situation.

But the White House maintains that the Clinton-Sestak discussions were informal, according to the sources. The White House, under pressure to divulge the specifics of its interactions with Sestak, will release a formal statement later today outlining their version of events, including Clinton's involvement.
Will be interesting to get President Clinton's reaction.

I totally believe Sestak because I have always felt that Barack in not above bribery, extortion and blackmail to get what he wants. Good grief, the man is part of the corrupt Chicago political machine. FTR, this is a gut feeling of MINE.

Update from The White House: Sestak was offered an UNPAID ADVISORY position.

Oh yes, we are all going to believe that one.

It's all good. "I've moved on!" has been established as precedent just for such things.

Unpaid advisory. That's rich.

It's also pathetic.

I wonder if Sestak is independently wealthy that he would be willing to work in an "unpaid advisory" position.

Well he was a commander in the navy, wasn't he? Probably gets a nice pension.

Either way, interferring with an election is a no no.

You mean after you get past which dress and frilly underwear he preferred? (For those unaware of it, Hoover was apparently a cross-dresser at times.)

Things that Nixon was accused of seem to be considered normal these days, in both parties. But I'm sure FDR's file and JFK's file (and, allegedly, Ike's file) would all make some very interesting reading now.

A minor point here. Maybe.

The White House release has been described as "very lawyer-ly." In other words, someone wrote it with the intention of giving the impression they said something they didn't.

For example, while everyone is talking about the one short conversation with Bill Clinton, the release talks about efforts ongoing for almost 2 months. It does NOT say that Clinton's call was the only one, nor does it say that the unpaid advisory board position was the only job offered. Read it carefully, and you'll see it was a pretty carefully worded effort to tell us all to ignore the man behind the curtain.

Naaaa, I wasn't talking about the Hoov himself...I was thinking more along the lines of that JFK/Marilyn file. I'll bet a months pay that one is really juicy.

Maybe. I'm not sure.

A much more interesting file would be JFK's health file. Those who have seen much of it at all theorize he might very well not have survived a second term, and possibly not the first term. He was addicted to a number of pain pills and had some really serious problems.

I'm sure when Hoover died, a bunch of people were sent in to destroy all kinds of files.

The file on Bobby Kennedy might have made some interesting reading. LBJ had some interesting skeletons, too. As I said, rumors abound about Ike.

All those files would make an interesting encyclopedia, I'd bet.

I wish Sestak would just come clean and reveal the conversation and what was offered and who offered it. OK that would totally PO Obama, but look how honest and refreshing! He might even pick up a few Republican votes in Nov. What does he have to lose except some idle threats from Holder?

Well my oh my!

Looks like Sestak wasn't the only one who was approached with the "drop out of the race and get a White House job"...just the only one (so far) who has talked about it.

Like Mike said...it's when they try to cover it up is when they start getting in trouble. Politicians just ain't smart enough to really pull off the conspiracy thang!
