Senior adviser to the president David Axelrod said Monday evening that there is “no evidence” that White House officials tried to keep a Democratic congressman from entering the Pennsylvania Senate race by offering him a high-ranking government job.
“When the allegations were made, they were looked into. And there was no evidence of such a thing,” Axelrod said on CNN’s “John King USA.”
Axelrod acknowledged that if White House officials dangled a job in front of Rep. Joe Sestak’s face to keep him away from challenging incumbent Sen. Arlen Specter, that would “constitute a serious breach of the law.”
Axelrod also acknowledged that there were “conversations” involving White House officials and Sestak, but said that those had been “looked at” by White House lawyers and “their conclusion was that it was perfect — the conversations were perfectly appropriate.”
The president’s adviser would not say who was involved in the conversations, but promised: “I don’t think that any questions will be left unanswered on this.”

How’s that bus undercarriage lookin’ Sestak?
The President of the U.S. is calling the Democrat candidate for PA senate a liar. Gotta love it!
Why would Sestak “lie” about a thing like that?
Sounds like a win-win situation to me.
Would you buy a used car from David Axelrod? He even looks like a shyster.
In the words of Hussein, or was it Bart (or OJ) Simpson:
“I didn’t do it, nobody saw me do it, you can’t prove anything”.
White House Accused of Federal Crime in Specter, Bennet RacesFor 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.

Is he a liar vs did he lie in this case...
My son and I were the only customers eating a late lunch at a mom and pop Italian restaurant one afternoon. The owner and another younger man were seated a few booths away but across the aisle. They were speaking rather heatedly going back and forth between English and Italian.
The older man, who was the owner, kept assuring the younger one he would be fine. “If they don’t got no evidence you was there, they got nothing on you”.
My son and I ate quickly and made a hasty retreat. We have often wondered what cover-up we were witnessing adn wished we had spoken Italian.
This seems like the same sort of thing. Axelrod isn’t denying the offer, but that there is any evidence to support the claim.
It is a felony they need to file a complaint...with the AG directly and publicly...He can join the Scooter Libby club of sacrificial lamb...special prosecutor now!
