Obama’s Watergate? Really? Obviously, Sestak was offered a position, and rejected the idea. It seems to me that these types of dealings happen everyday in our nation’s capital and have been happening since president #1. My question is where was the outrage over actual law breaking when the previous administration outted an intelligence operative and put fellow operatives at risk? Who paid the price for that? That was a real crime.

That would be 18 U.S.C. Section 201... Read it here. But you are correct in saying that this type of criminal "negotiating" occurs every minute of every day.

OK—-I found it.

U.S. Code Title 18 Section 600

But I will guarantee you that this law is broken a thousand times a day. But I also will agree that if this law was broken, then someone should pay the price.

Quote the law to me. This type of “negotiating” goes on every minute of every day.

It is against federal law to offer a govt position in return for a political action.

Would someone tell me what “crime” was committed? I might agree that some ethical standard was crossed, but I don’t see this being equal to “Watergate”. In the business world, this is called “negotiating”.

Bigger question, why would Obama support the GOP incumbent turned Democrat flip-flopper to maintain the globalist fascist status quo instead of going with the former admiral and true liberal Democrat?

It’s the elephant in the room that no mainstream media will touch.

Business as usual in this new Obama-led era of enlightenment and responsible government, transparency and accountability. Doesn’t it just warm the heart?
