UHHHH OHHHH!
There is big time trouble brewing on The Hill and the American Spectator is all over it...
After you take a look at the whole Spectator article... the question begs itself...
"Will the MSM pick up on this major story and run with it?
Ameican Spectator breaking news report
White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet Races
"Whoever solicits or receives … any….thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both." -- 18 USC Sec. 211 -- Bribery, Graft and Conflicts of Interest: Acceptance or solicitation to obtain appointive public office"In the face of a White House denial, U.S. Rep. Joe Sestak stuck to his story yesterday that the Obama administration offered him a "high-ranking" government post if he would not run against U.S. Sen. Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania's Democratic primary."A bombshell has just exploded in the 2010 elections.
-- Philadelphia Inquirer
February 19, 2010
For the second time in five months, the Obama White House is being accused -- by Democrats -- of offering high ranking government jobs in return for political favors. What no one is reporting is that this is a violation of federal law that can lead to prison time, a fine or both, according to Title 18, Chapter 11, Section 211 of the United States Code.
The jobs in question? Secretary of the Navy and a position within the U.S. Agency for International Development.
The favor requested in return? Withdrawal from Senate challenges to two sitting United States Senators, both Democrats supported by President Obama. The Senators are Arlen Specter in Pennsylvania and Michael Bennet in Colorado.
On Friday, Pennsylvania Congressman Joe Sestak, the Democrat challenging Specter for re-nomination, launched the controversy by accusing the Obama White House of offering him a federal job in exchange for his agreeing to abandon his race against Specter.....
What do you think? How long before the MSM is forced to pick this up? And keep in mind that these accusations are being leveled from within their own party.
Consider and ponder.

That is a stinker now ain't it. but you know what? Who is going to prosecute?
Another point not touched on, if the trail of evidence were to lead back to Obama? Wouldn't that be an "impeachable offense?"
"High crimes and misdemeanors?"
The ball is in the senate and congress' court. So what do you think hag Pelosi and dingy Harry will do about it? Appoint special counsels to investigate?
Don't hold your breath.
I'll take your advise and not hold my breath!
