Specter Opens Door on White House Felonies
Good story, wish the criminals would be thrown in jail.

"There's a crime called misprision of a felony. Misprision of a felony is when you don't report a crime. So you're getting into pretty deep areas here in these considerations." -- U.S. Senator Arlen Specter on March 12, 2010
"Right now, they're doing the 'I won't confirm or deny,' and for us, it leaves two possibilities. One is the promise of transparency in this administration is just shot. The second one is even worse, which is either Sestak is lying or the administration has done something wrong and is covering it up…" -- U.S. Congressman Darrell Issa on Friday on March 12, 2010
"The 'stonewall strategy' functioned from the very first episodes of the cover-up. It was instinctive, from the very top of the Administration to the bottom. It was also ad hoc, developed in small reactions to the flurry of each day's events…we found ourselves trying to hold a line where we could." -- Nixon White House Counsel John Dean in his Watergate book Blind Ambition
Here we go again.

Is it illegal to offer someone a job in exchange for not
running for office?
I'm having a hard time seeing where this is improper.
Hell, I can't even see where it is improper to PAY someone simply not to run.
It's not like it's a bribe to commit an illegal act. Not running for office is perfectly legal.
Offering someone a job is perfectly legal.
I don't see why offering them a job NOT to do something that isn't illegal not to do is somehow illegal.
It isn't like they are being blackmailed into not running.
And they can certainly refuse the offer which both of them have.
Is THIS the best "illegal" activity anyone can come up with?
Why don't we ever see prosecution of the real crimes in government, but only this "he said she said" nonsense?
Letting Specter go may have been a bad idea
He's great for prosecuting stuff, as he was a former prosecutor.
Granted he's a RINO, but just you can't have 100 Rand Pauls in the Senate.
