Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) and White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs refused to give further details this morning on Sestak's claim that he was offered a job last summer by the Obama administration if he would not run against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.) in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary.
Sestak repeated his claim today, telling NBC's David Gregory that he was offered a job. But he dodged questions on the specifics, saying that "anything that goes beyond that is for others to talk about." He repeated that assertion in an appearance on CBS' "Face the Nation," saying that "anything beyond that just gets into politics."
Gibbs, who also appeared on "Face the Nation," said that "nothing inappropriate" happened, but would not confirm whether or not an offer was made in the first place...

Sestak better start talking before he gets charged with misprision of a felony,,,,
Historically this would be major popcorn time, but apparently dems can now say and do anything they want without ever having to account for it. Either Sestak or Obama should be forced out of public office because of this but likely neither one will be negatively affected in any way even though one of them is guaranteed to be guilty.
The law is a laughingstock to democrats and the press.
BS!!! It's against the law! and if you intend to uphold the Constitution, you have an obligation to fully expose any violations of federal law!
It was Rahm, Obongo and Axelrod.
If the Dems back up Sestak they will have admitted to a crime. If they deny it happened and Sestak has proof they are conspiring to cover up a crime. If they say nothing, they can ride it out until people get tired of asking.
Enforcement of the law assumes there is a prosecutor and/or law enforcement officials with enough balls to actually enforce the law.
Clearly, at the Federal level, law enforcement is selective based on which laws they want to enforce, and against whom they wish to enforce them.
Tax Law — enforced with an iron fist and armed men for you and me; not enforced, or only grudgingly against Rangle, Gietner, et al.
Immigration Law — enforced against the white widow of a man who died on 9/11; not enforced 20 million times over against illegal Mexicans and the people that hire them, or Obama’s aunt.
We are officially a Banana Republic, charting a course for the full on Corruptocrisy a la Mexico.
And who's gonna do that, Holder?
Ha!
Situations such as this are among many critical reasons the Republicans need to win back the House, and both the House and Senate. Some interesting hearings (with subpoena power) need to take place on this and other subjects.
Otherwise, these things will never be investigated.
Sort of like the BC issue. You see how well that is working. The truth will out!

They never intend to uphold the Constitution. Just skate around it. Why not the Republicans do not seem to really care.
This sounds like an Axelrod action.
Axelgreaseball would never do it without the approval of Barry the Kenyan Marxist.
