All of a sudden, everyone is talking about the possibility of impeaching Barack Obama.
Drudge is writing about it. Sean Hannity is talking about it. Dick Morris is saying that the potential scandal is "enormous.". Karl Rove called it an "extraordinary charge." WorldNetDaily.com wrote that "it could be grounds for impeachment."
What happened? The story surrounding the alleged bribe of Congressman Joe Sestak initially broke way back in February. We wrote about it then, but it never broke out into the mainstream media. But because of activist pressure and the courageous work of California Congressman Darrell Issa the story refused to die.
ImpeachObamaCampaign.com alone has delivered more than 750,000 petitions to Congress in support of impeachment. Make no mistake, patriotic Americans are driving this sudden turn of events. It is a testament to what can happen when patriotic Americans refuse to look the other way, and they make their voices heard in a real and meaningful way. It didn't hurt that Obama has failed to answer the questions surrounding the attempted bribe of Congressman Joe Sestak.
So did Barack Hussein Obama commit a felony by offering Congressman Joe Sestak a "high ranking" Cabinet position to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate race against Sen. Arlen Specter?
Let's be clear. The commission of an actual felony is not actually required in order to impeach a sitting president, but if Sestak's allegation is true, and if Barack Hussein Obama's fingerprints are all over this offer, that's a felony, and drawing up Articles of Impeachment against Barack Obama becomes a necessity.
According to Judge Andrew Napolitano with Fox News: "Federal law makes it a felony to offer 'anything of value' to an official of the government in return for a decision in your favor by that official of the government; it is called bribery."
And Congressman Darrell Issa has been relentlessly pushing the matter. He's called on Attorney General Eric Holder to appoint a special prosecutor to investigate the allegation, but Holder is essentially ignoring the request.
Recently, Issa directly challenged Holder: "You don't answer or apparently investigate. ... You're not investigating whether it's a false statement by a member of Congress or a crime by the White House. What are we to do?"
Back in February, Sestak confirmed to Larry Kane, a Philadelphia talk-show host, that the White House dangled a "high ranking" job in front of him to convince him to drop his primary challenge against incumbent Arlen Specter.
Initially, the Obama White House denied the accusation. According to a Fox News report: "White House official told Fox News that Sestak is expected to 'clarify' the allegation."
But Sestak didn't take the hint... he didn't "clarify" the accusation.
He stood by his statement and told Fox News: "I was asked a direct question yesterday and I answered it honestly."
Just prior to the Pennsylvania primary, Issa confronted Holder directly, but Holder refused to comment on the case. When Issa questioned Holder on why he had not responded to his request for a special prosecutor, Holder simply said that he thought he had responded to the request and offered his apologies.
Is it possible that Sestak lied, or that he was simply mistaken?
It seems unlikely as White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs issued the following carefully guarded statement to the press: "I'm told whatever conversations have been had are not problematic" and Gibbs added that the matter was "in the past."
Stonewalling... obstruction... but it's clear by Gibbs' statement that someone made Sestak an offer.
Keeping in mind that only Barack Obama has the authority to appoint an individual to his own Cabinet, the only question that remains is: What did Obama know and when did he know it?
The American people deserve an answer.
I’m reading a bio of the Hildabeast, The Truth About Hillary. She has been a thoroughgoing Marxist since her senior year of high school. I’ve wondered if her Leftist thinking has tempered at all as she has aged. I think it has not. She and all her leftist/lesbian pals from Wellesley are now in top leadership positions. She installed most of them as First Lady. I think that she is just biding her time with her eye on the elusive prize of the presidency. I think she thinks she has paid plenty of dues and is entitled to it. I think she gleefully celebrateds every misstep by Obozo.
No harm, no foul.
I agree 100 percent to even talk about it right now
Will do.
The moonbats will cry bloody murder if it brought up
How many dictators through recent history have been impeached?
THANK YOU!!!
That should be if it is brought up
They’ve been burned before.
Just call it another round of urban renewal.
Continue with East St. Louis, Chicago, Oakland, Boulder, Austin and ITHACA!
It's more useful for our side to keep this alive politically than it is to keep it alive legally.
We first need to clarify he is actually qualified to be president....if he is an usurper...then the Federal Marshals can arrest him.
Obama could sell drugs out of the Whitehouse, take a pile of cash from known drug dealers on national primetime television and his mediawhores will still cover for him. not only wouldn't the demholes impeach him, they'd cover for him as well.
That is why we have to win the House back and we have to take the super majority away from them in the Senate. Without it we might as well forget it
Personally, I don't think this is going anywhere. It is hypocritical that Bush immediately assigns special investigators or prosecutors whenever the left created some alleged wrong doing, and then when a leftist president does it, they try to bury it.
This is the most corrupt political party to walk the American landscape. They are wicked and disgusting.
I agree and with Clinton advising him, chances are there is something much more serious that he is guilty of and Clinton is using his (and Dick Morris') strategy of putting out something aweful but not as serious as the other crime (i.e. Monica Lewinsky vs. selling ballistic missile tech to China).
What is it that Obama has done that is so bad that is about to break? Maybe the gay story and the speculation that that the "affair" with a pretty aid was a cover? Maybe more on his Birth Certificate and his eligibility? Maybe something worse?
Regardless, beat him and Democrats up with the Sleezstak situation, but don't go the impeachment route. Point out that it is impeachable, but don't even threaten to do it. Leave it as an axe hovering over the Obamabi administration. Maybe, he will have enough sense to back down a little.
