The Sestak scandal grows More questions raised about an alleged White House quid-pro-quo

WASHINGTON, DC—In a memo released by the White House in regard to the allegation that a job offer was made in exchange for dropping out of a senate race to Congressman Joe Sestak by the White House, the administration stated the job offer was for an unpaid position and therefore, no illegal actions were committed.

The latest news is the offer was made to Congressman Sestak by former President Bill Clinton to sit on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board in exchange for dropping out of the senatorial primary race against Arlen Specter.

As Bryon York pointed out in a piece in the Washington Examiner, Sestak being a current member of Congress could not sit on the presidential advisory board as it violates the board’s rules. And there are questions being raised about Bill Clinton’s level of authorization as well as scrutiny of violating 18 USC 600.

Inside the beltway deals like this occur on a regular basis in Washington, but Sestak broke the cardinal rule of don’t ask don’t tell. In his ambition to pursue a senate seat, he let the cat out of the bag. While there are calls for an official investigation on both sides, partisanship will prevail over the rule of law and come November, this may be a distant memory. If it does not wane, the economy, oil spill and immigration belligerents plaguing the democrat party will be irritated further and voters will not be kind.
