Interesting story being discussed out there on the blogosphere. Did the W.House bribe Joe Stestak? If so, this is an impeachable offense. Guessing only when Republicans take back the the majority: then a "special prosecutor" will have to sort this out...
Oh ooooh... could be big twubble for the Chicago-way organizers squattin' in the people's W.House...
From Military Corruption:
"Longtime Philadelphia television newsman Larry Kane deserves high praise for daring to ask Sestak the question that has been on mind of many insiders these past few weeks. On the Comcast Network's well-regarded program THE VOICE OF REASON, the conversation was fascinating.
(KANE) -- "Is it true you were offered a high-ranking job in the Obama Administration in a bid to get you to drop out of the primary against Arlen Specter?"
(SESTAK) -- "Yes."
(KANE) -- "Was it (the position) Secretary of the Navy?"
(SESTAK) -- "No comment."
Note the stubborn admiral didn't confirm, but also did not deny, that the offer was for the Navy Secretary post. Why? Because if he did, it would be a clear violation of federal law and mean possible prosecution for the person offering the inducement or the one accepting it.
18 US Code (sec. 211) -- BRIBERY, GRAFT, CONFLICT OF INTEREST
WHOSOEVER SOLICITS OR RECEIVES ANYTHING OF VALUE, IN CONSIDERATION OF THE PROMISE OF SUPPORT OR USE OF INFLUENCE IN OBTAINING FOR ANY PERSON ANY APPOINTMENT, OFFICE, OR PLACE IN THE UNITED STATES, SHALL BE FINED UNDER THIS TITLE, IMPRISONED NOT MORE THAN ONE YEAR, OR BOTH.
Well, what makes you so sure that the offer of that particular job was actually made, you might ask? Sestak hasn't said what job it was. Ah, but the retired admiral has spoken with certain individuals in Philadelphia who talked to our sources, and the position they refer to is indeed Navy secretary."

Michelle Malkin's been tracking the story since February. She thinks "even Democrats are starting to worry about the White House/Sestak bribery scandal"...
Nice Deb mentiones "Joe Sestak, the Inartful Dodger - May, 24, 2010"
On Meet The Press Yesterday, when pressed by David Gregory, to name the job he was offered by the White House in exchange for quitting his Senate race against Arlen Specter, (there’s been speculation that it was Sec. of the Navy), Sestak dodged:
“Anything that goes beyond that, is for others to talk about”…
But how are we supposed to talk about something he won’t tell us?
Issa, the ranking Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform committee, has called for a Special Prosecutor to look into the matter, (which is being stonewalled by Eric Holder)."
Archy Cary over a Breitbart's BigJournalism asks "Where Is The MSM’s Call For a Special Counsel In the Alleged Bribe Offered To Joe Sestak?"
Get the popcorn for the impeachment show! Yep, might get real interesting... Orange jumpsuits for all the main characters anyone? Rinse. Repeat.
