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 is a pretty extraordinary charge: 'They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job,'" he said on Greta Van Susteran's "On the Record" program on the Fox News Channel. "Look, that's a violation of the federal code: 18 USC 600 says that a federal official cannot promise employment, a job in the federal government, in return for a political act.
what was the political act that they asked of sestak? he held no office
without a political act in return or something of value then how was this offer of a job an illegal action?

Yep.There's enough smoke, look into it. If there's some wrong doing, act. If there's not, drop it. Don't go fishing, don't go on an inquisition, don't pull dozens of people before grand juries in hopes of catching them in perjury, don't make this front page news constantly when its not even close to the conclussion phase when most of the facts are known, and don't focus on the politics of it and who it can get rid of.
No, no, no... Clinton tried to deny Paula Jones her day in court by lying under oath.It was obnoxious with Lewinski and Clinton.
That is deadly serious.
During the House Impeachment they had a military officer, MD testify about lying about sex under oath.
She lost her medical license, was going to take the Bar exam (she must have been one smart lady) and lost any chance to practice law. Can't remember if she was thrown in the brig, out of the military, or both.
Clinton deserved no lesser treatment.
He should have been removed after being impeached.
It was DEMOCRATS that pushed these sexual harassment laws.
They had no exclusion for Presidents, and no exclusion for Presidents lying under oath about sex because it is embarrassing.
This was sad because what's his nuts... Fitzgerald knew it was Powell's sidekick Armitage, and kept on fishing. Huge difference. And to convict Libby for not remembering? Bogus.It was obnoxious with Libby and Bush/Clinton. It will be obnoxious here and likely a similar effect.
I think we should find out who knows what, and let the chips fall precisely where they should. Presidents are not Kings.Let authorities look into it, determine if there's wrong doing, and deal with it, and stop politicizing the **** out of this stuff...both sides.

nothing there explains illegality
Crimes and Criminal Procedure - 18 USC Section 600 - US Code

Good Old Z, making sure no one can mistake him for a Conservative.
Sestak and another politician, guy from Colo. if memory serves have both claimed that they were offered Cush Jobs not to run.
Neither of them have been willing to name names publicly though. So either two men are liars OR both are being honest. There is nothing wrong with demanding answers to such abuses of power.
You'll never get it because it will be one word vs another and that is all the excuse Liberals will need not to convict if its true.
I don't know if this will amount to anything. Blagojevich was a disgrace to corrupt politicians everywhere. Most of them are smart enough to make their actions appear perfectly legitimate.
And yet again we are embarassed by a liberal administration in the eyes of the world. Making unpopular decisions is one thing but the corruption is inexcusable.
If you couldn't impeach Bush for starting a war on false premises, this is a no go. And if this is a go, you might want to re-evaluate your countries values.
I hear it was Rahm Emanuel who offered Joe Sestak a job. This offense carries a sentence of 1 year in prison. I hope it was Emanuel and I hope he does time for it.
