Interesting implications from an Ace of Spades link:
The Sestak Stonewall: What's Obama So Guilty About?
exerpts-
18 U.S.C. § 600. Promise of employment or other benefit for political activity
Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment, position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit, provided for or made possible in whole or in part by any Act of Congress, or any special consideration in obtaining any such benefit, to any person as consideration, favor, or reward for any political activity or for the support of or opposition to any candidate or any political party in connection with any general or special election to any political office, or in connection with any primary election or political convention or caucus held to select candidates for any political office, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
18 U.S.C. § 595. Interference by administrative employees of Federal, State, or Territorial Governments
Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States, or by any department or agency thereof...uses his official authority for the purpose of interfering with, or affecting, the nomination or the election of any candidate for the office of President, Vice President, Presidential elector, Member of the Senate, Member of the House of Representatives, Delegate from the District of Columbia, or Resident Commissioner, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both.
It is clearly illegal to induce someone NOT to run for office to specially benefit another based on promises made to both parties, i.e. Arlene Specter and Joe Sestak. Both are misdemeanors, so what did Obama know and when did he know it? The administration flaks who made the offer got their marching orders from someone. Who? Rahm Emanuel? Was this done in a vacuum? I think not.
Any bets that the FBI is going to investigate? With this agency currently so politicized and Holder running the show - NOT!
Hey, you at the GOP, start calling for a special prosecutor.
