No Honor among Thieves - Arlen Spector's Angry At Obama For Betraying Him

Remember Arlen Spector? The genuinely nasty RINO ex-Senator who betrayed Pennsylvania's voters and his own party to become the 60th vote for ObamaCare?

Apparently the senator's angry he didn't get his promised payoff:

Former Sen. Arlen Specter (Pa.) writes in a new book that President Obama ditched him in the 2010 election after he helped Obama win the biggest legislative victory of his term by passing healthcare reform.

Specter also claims that Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid (D-Nev.) did not uphold his promise to grant him seniority accrued over 28 years of service in the Senate as a Republican.{...}

Specter writes that Obama turned down a request to campaign with him in the final days of the primary, because the president’s advisers feared he would look weak if he intervened and Specter lost. {...}

The snub was made all the more painful by Obama flying over Philadelphia en route to New York City a few days before the election and then on primary day jetting over Pittsburgh to visit a factory in Youngstown, Ohio, 22 miles from the Pennsylvania border, to promote the 2009 economic stimulus law. The painful irony for Specter is that his vote for the stimulus legislation, which was instrumental to its passage, hastened his departure from the Republican Party.{...}

Specter believes Reid acted with “duplicity” while managing the party switch. Specter said Reid promised him that he would be recognized on the seniority list as a Democrat elected in 1980, but failed to deliver on it.

Had Specter been given the seniority he was promised, he would have become chairman of the powerful Labor, Health and Human Services Appropriations subcommittee and next in line to chair the Judiciary Committee.

Instead, Reid stripped Specter of all his seniority by passing a short resolution by unanimous consent in a nearly-empty chamber, burying him at the bottom of the Democrats’ seniority list.

Specter found out about it after his press secretary emailed him a press account of the switch. Specter was floored that Reid had “violated a fundamental Senate practice to give personal notice to a senator directly affected by the substance of a unanimous consent agreement.”

Somewhere I hear John Bolton giggling.

Typically, Spector's whining rant is not quite accurate. After all President Obama did try to help him by illegally offering his primary opponent Joe Sestak a federal job to stay out of the primary. What more did he expect? They used him and simply dumped him when he wasn't useful anymore.

You can't ever do enough for some rats...the more you feed 'em, the more they want.

Sestak And The White House Release Their Statements - Pure Horse Manure

Joe Sestak got the word from the White House, they went over their stories and just released coordinated statements. Here's Sestak's and I hope you're wearing your boots because this is pretty deep:

Last summer, I received a phone call from President Clinton. During the course of the conversation, he expressed concern over my prospects if I were to enter the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and the value of having me stay in the House of Representatives because of my military background. He said that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoken with him about my being on a Presidential Board while remaining in the House of Representatives. I said no. I told President Clinton that my only consideration in getting into the Senate race or not was whether it was the right thing to do for Pennsylvania working families and not any offer. The former President said he knew I'd say that, and the conversation moved on to other subjects.

There are many important challenges facing Pennsylvania and the rest of the country. I intend to remain focused on those issues and continue my fight on behalf of working families.

Ummm...I seem to remember that Sestak originslly said back in February that "somebody in the White House" contacted him about the post. And when asked about the job ( not a term customarily used to describe a post on an 'advisory council) in response reiterated that yes, it was a high position.

Bill Clinton is not "somebody in the White House" the last time I looked, and a place on an advidsory board is not a 'high position'. So was Sestak lying then...or is he lying now?

If Sestak was exaggerating all this time, why didn’t the White House expose him months ago when it would have embarrassed him and perhaps helped drag Specter to a primary win?

And why get Clinton involved just to offer an advisory board position? And how is that still not a bribe, as defined by 18 U.S.C. § 211? What was Sestak going to be, a freaking intern?

And if this was all it was, why couldn't it have been detailed by Sestak weeks ago? Why wait? Why did the White House call Sestak's brother? Why time it all together? Why wouldn't Obama or Gibbs answer questions about this simply and directly?

The answer,of course, is that it took weeks to tie everybody's story together and figure out who was going to get what in exchange for engaging in this coverup.

The White House is trying to bury this over Memorial Day weekend and I'm sure their shills in the dinosaur media will play along, Mr. Bill's involvement only raises the stakes to get to the bottom of this. It simply doesn't add up.

And this isn't over by any means.

Update on Sestak-Gate

The latest spin on this is that Rahm Emmanuel used Bill Clinton as an intermediary to approach Setak about a White House job if he dropped out of the race. Of course, that's not exactly how the NYT is putting it:

President Obama’s chief of staff used former President Bill Clinton as an intermediary to see if Representative Joe Sestak would drop out of a Senate primary if given a prominent, but unpaid, advisory position, the White House said on Friday.

Rahm Emanuel, the White House chief of staff, asked Mr. Clinton last summer to explore “options of service” on a presidential or senior government advisory board with Mr. Sestak, the White House said in a statement. Mr. Sestak said no and went on to win last week’s Pennsylvania Democratic primary against Senator Arlen Specter.

The White House disputed Republican claims that the conversations might be illegal or improper. “There was no such impropriety,” Robert F. Bauer, the White House counsel, said in a memo released to reporters. “The Democratic Party leadership had a legitimate interest in averting a divisive primary fight and a similarly legitimate concern about the Congressman vacating his seat in the House.”

No, no, not a job in the Obama Administration...just 'options for service'!

I wonder what Obama had to promise Mr. Bill to get him to go along with this fairy tale? Well, at least now we know what the two of them discussed at lunch yesterday, don't we?

I say appoint a special prosecutor and put them all under oath.

After all, Obama's got nothing to worry about since, as Mr. Bill could tell him, the Democrats wouldn't even vote to impeach an indicted Democrat president.

Well, nothing to worry about until after midterms, anyway.

Obama And Sestak Negotiating On Getting Their Stories Straight

This is unbelievable in its cynical disregard for the American people:

Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) said Thursday his brother has spoken with White House officials about the congressman's allegation that he was offered an Obama administration job if he would stay out of a Democratic Senate primary.

Sestak ran in, and won, that primary, defeating the White House's preferred candidate, Sen. Arlen Specter.

He told reporters Thursday that he would not expand upon his prior statements until the White House releases its report on the matter. President Obama said in his news conference such a report would come "shortly."

Richard Sestak, who has served as his brother's top political adviser and campaign lawyer, spoke with administration officials Wednesday, Joe Sestak said.

"They got ahold of my brother on his cellphone, and he spoke to the White House . . . about what's going to occur," said Sestak, who said he expects the White House will release its information Friday. He declined to elaborate on his discussions with his brother.

Get that..they're negotiating.

I wonder how much DNC campaign cash an dother favors are involved?

In a 15-minute interview with the Capitol press corps Thursday, Sestak said the fixation with the story is an inside-the-Beltway phenomenon that does not translate into hurting his efforts to defeat Republican Pat Toomey in November. He said the ordeal has grown out of a single quip -- answering "yes" and saying he was offered a "high-up job" -- to a question posed by longtime Philadelphia TV newsman Larry Kane during a February interview.

"Something happened last July, literally, hardly even remember it," Sestak said of the offer. "All of a sudden, in this interview, someone asked a question . . . and I answered it up front. But I immediately said the same thing I said to you and haven't deviated: Look, let's move on, the rest is politics."

All of a sudden, he 'hardly remembers it?' After talking to the White House the last few days? And with Sestak, a possible felony is 'politics as usual'?

Do the people of Pennsylvania really have such deep self=loathing that they would want this man as their senator?

There needs to be a special independent prosecutor named immediately to put Sestak under oath and find out exactly what he remembers. And that goes for his brother as well, so that there's transparency about whatever deal he and the White House worked out.

No wonder Zero wouldn't give anyone a straight answer in his press conference yesterday.

Imagine what kind of contempt he must have for the American people.

Obama's Absurd And Pathetic Press Conference

By now, anyone who's been watching closely knows that's it's easy to tell if Obama's lying...just see if his lips are moving.

But at least he used to do it with a little bit of artistry.

I can't remember a more pathetic political performance than Obama's presser today, his first in ten months. Even Mr. Bill at the height of Monica-Gate retained at least a little dignity.

I mean, using your kids to score political points? 'Daddy, did you plug the hole yet?'

No sweetie...daddy's mouth is still gushing big time.

For instance, listen to Prez Zero when FOX's Major Garret asks him a direct question about Sestak-Gate:



"We're going to issue an official response shortly, but uh..I can assure the public that nothing improper took place."

If nothing improper took place, why have you and your spokeshole Robert Gibbs been tapdancing around this for weeks?

If you know nothing improper occurred, how about manning up for a change, giving a direct answer and leveling with the American people on it?

The answer of course is that Prez Zero knows very well that something improper occurred and is buying time to try and tie up the lose ends, shred any paper or electronic trails, come up with a credible fairy tale and find someone to take the fall for him and Emmanuel.

Eventually, Joe Sestak is going to have to come clean and when he does, Obama wants it to be Sestak's word against the administration's. I mean, who are you going to believe people? Me, the ObamaMessiah or your lying eyes?

Even worse was Obama's pathetic attempt to assure us that he had been right on top of the Gulf Oil spill from the get-go.

Perhaps he..or somebody..was. Perhaps that's why Louisiana Governor Bobby Jindal's May 11th request to the Feds for permission to dredge and erect sand berms and barrier islands to keep the oil off the Louisiana coast didn't get a response giving them a permit for 45 miles of sand berms until..yesterday. Of course by now,with the oil inundating the coast, that response is about as meaningful as giving your teenage daughter the skinny on birth control after her boyfriend's gotten her pregnant.

Or why BP's request to try to contain the leak by using the “top kill” technique that involved pumping heavy drilling liquids to counteract the pressure of the gushing oil that stopped the flow for most of today wasn't approved by the Feds for two weeks, while the oil continued to gush unchecked into the Gulf.

Of course, that also makes liars out of Secretary of the Interior Ken Salazar and DHS Chief Janet Napolitano, who kept telling us for weeks that this was BP's responsibility and that they were in charge, but not to worry, they had their foot on BP's neck. Remember that?

In actual fact, nobody was home while this was going on. Obama wasn't even in charge enough when quizzed by the press to remember whether his Director of the Minerals Management Service(the federal agency that oversees oil and gas operations) Elizabeth Birmbaum was fired or resigned!

One thing Obama did do, almost from memory was to sing another stanza of that tired old song, 'Bushie Done It'.

Prez Zero blamed practices of the Bush administration for poor regulation, yakking it up about a "cozy and sometimes corrupt relationship" between oil companies and federal regulators.

The truth?

It was Prez Zero's Administration that made the decision last year to allow this rig to drill with expedited approvals without a full environmental and safety review. They even gave this particular operation a safety award!

Like I said, if his mouth is moving, you know.

There's something indecent about seeing the president of the United States so weak and feckless that he operates in this fashion.

He's simply clueless and out of his depth, and obviously can't wait to get out of town for yet another vacation.

Although it appears that he's finally going to do a photo-op on the Gulf tomorrow...three weeks after the crisis.

All 7 Republicans on Senate Judiciary Committee Ask AG For Special Prosecutor on Sestak Job Offer

Oh my..this isn't going away:

In a letter to Attorney General Eric Holder today, all seven Republicans on the Senate Judiciary Committee "urge the appointment of a special prosecutor to investigate Congressman Joe Sestak's claim that a White House official offered him a job to induce him to exit the Pennsylvania Senate primary race against Senator Arlen Specter."

The seven – Sens. Jeff Sessions of Alabama, Orrin Hatch of Utah, Chuck Grassley of Iowa, Jon Kyl or Arizona, Lindsey Graham of South Carolina, John Cornyn of Texas and Tom Coburn of Oklahoma – allege that the offer would appear to violate federal criminal laws, including 18 U.S.C. 600, which prohibits promising a government position “as consideration, favor, or reward for any political activity” or “in connection with any primary election or political convention or caucus held to select candidates for any political office.”

Rep. Sestak, D-Penn., who defeated Specter in the primary last week, told Comcast’s Larry Kane in February that the White House had offered him a position in exchange for not challenging Specter. White House senior adviser David Axelrod said on Monday that White House lawyers had looked into it and judged everything “perfectly appropriate.”

CNN’s John King suggested to Axelrod that such a job offer “marches up into the gray area, perhaps into the red area of a felony. It is a felony to induce somebody by offering them a job.”

Indeed it is a felony. And since offering Sestak a job would likely have needed Rahm Emmanuel's approval and possibly Obama's it might just end up being an impeachable offense...depending on the all important answers to the question 'what did the President know and when did he know it' and whether the GOP ends up controlling the House and the Senate after the midterms.

What prompted this letter was a brush off reply from Assistant Attorney General Ronald Welch to Rep. Darrell Issa, (R-CA) who wrote a letter asking the justice department to appoint one.

The senators wrote to Holder that they “do not believe the Department of Justice can properly defer to White House lawyers to investigate a matter that could involve ‘a serious breach of the law.’ The White House cannot possibly manage an internal investigation of potential criminal misconduct while simultaneously crafting a public narrative to rebut the claim that misconduct occurred.”

Even some Democrats like Dick Durbin and Pennsylvania Governor Ed Rendell are insisting on getting to the bottom of this one, and I'm not sure how long the White House can continue to stonewall. Either Sestak is an out and out liar or someone in the Obama White House, possibly even reaching as far as the president made a serious error.

Like Watergate, the nasty stuff may hit the fan after the election.

A Bad Day For Gibbsy And Obama

Apparently yesterday was a particularly stressful day for the President and his spokeshole.

Robert Gibbs has had a rough few days anyway, thanks to repeated questions about the Sestak affair. As a matter of fact, the word is that the White House Press corps' private nickname for Gibbsy is 'Wonder Woman', because up to yesterday he dodged 13 questions about the Sestak mess alone.

His latest problem is trying to tapdance around repeated questions regarding the Obama Administration's non-Action on the Gulf oil spill.

It got so bad that he actually called the reporters into a private meeting to tongue lash them for 'asking too many BP questions'.

And there are a lot of unanswered questions. For all the presser action by Secretary of the Interior Ken Slazar and DHS Chief Napolitano, the fact remains that hardly anything's been done and that Louisiana Governer Bobby Jindal's May 11th request for Federal permission to dredge and erect sand bars and barrier islands to keep the oil slick off the Louisiana Coast remains unanswered as I write this.

And for all the macho talk about how British Petroleum is going to pay all costs and how the Obama Administration is going to 'keep our foot on BP's neck', the one concrete thing the Administration has done is to work on shoving through a quadrupling of the tax on oil, from 8 cents per gallon to a whopping 32 cents.

People with Obama's mindset don't understand that businesses don't pay taxes - they merely pass them on to their customers through price hikes.

Watch what happens to prices at the pump if this passes.And things like food prices as the cost of deliveries soars.

Supposedly, this is to generate funds for the oil cleanup. But since BP is supposed to pay all costs according to Obama, it's obvious the money will be used for more out of control spending on Prez Zero's domestic agenda.

Think of it as a European style VAT on gasoline without actually labeling it as one.

If Gibbsy's day wasn't so good, neither was Obama's.



It started out when he decided to drop in on a GOP luncheon to ask for bi-partisan cooperation on things like illegal alien amnesty(AKA 'immigration reform') and climate change legislation and apparently got into what was termed a frank exchange of views (AKA as shouting match) with several Republican senators who explained to Prez Zero that after the way they had been treated by the Administration, they weren't particularly interested in cooperating. Especially since Obama's idea of bi-partisan cooperation means that means that he expects them to simply vote for his agenda no questions asked:

Senators and other sources inside the meeting described the gathering as “testy” and “direct” — and Sen. Bob Corker (R-Tenn.) accused Obama of acting two-faced by asking for GOP support on regulatory reform only to push forward with a bill supported mainly by Democrats. Others felt that the meeting may have made already tense relations between the two parties even worse.

"The more he talked, the more he got upset," Sen. Pat Roberts (R-Kan.) said. “He needs to take a valium before he comes in and talks to Republicans and just calm down, and don’t take anything so seriously. If you disagree with someone, it doesn’t mean you’re attacking their motives — and he takes it that way and tends then to lecture and then gets upset.” {..}

In one of the most heated exchanges of the lunch, Corker accused Obama of acting “duplicitous” in his calls for bipartisanship, saying that he was trying to cut a deal on regulatory reform only to see the rug pulled out from underneath him. At one point, Corker said Obama was using lunch with Republicans as a “prop.”

"I told him I thought there was a degree of audacity in him even showing up today after what had happened with financial regulation," Corker told reporters after Republicans met with Obama. "I just wanted him to tell me how, when he wakes up in the morning, comes over to a luncheon like ours today, how does he reconcile that duplicity?"

Obama also clashed, among others, with John McCain on securing the borders:

Inside the lunch meeting, Obama squared off with his old rival McCain (R-Ariz.) over border security, sources said. Sources described Obama’s conversation with McCain as rather direct.

McCain said he told Obama: "We need to secure the borders first. He didn't agree." A McCain spokeswoman said their exchange was “frank but respectful.”

You simply can't crap on people and ignore them for months and then tell them you expect their support..especially with mid-terms coming up in about 5 months.

After that fracus, Obama took off to do a Barbara Boxer fundraiser...and ended up getting heckled by a prominant member of the Gay rights lobby over 'don't ask don't tell'!

I only hope the President's wagyu steak was done to his liking.

Joe Sestak's Jihad Baggage

Joe Sestak, the Democrat candidate for Senate in Pennsylvania is in the news because he defeated Republican-turned-Democrat Arlen Specter in the primary and because he's been very vocal on a number of occasions that he was offered a White House job to stay out of the primary and ensure the party-hopping Specter another chance at re-election - a potential felony bust for whatever White House denizen offered him the job.

But there's a lot more to Joe Sestak that's interesting. Aside from his endorsement of Obama's agenda, the would-be senator has a very interesting record on terrorism, jihad and the Middle East.

Back in 2007, Rep. Sestak voted in favor of H R 1585, a nefarious amendment designed to tie President Bush's hands in dealing with Iran.

That same year, Sestak gave the keynote address at a banquet and fundraiser for the Philadelphia Chapter of the Muslim Brotherhood front group Council on American Islamic Relations (CAIR). In response to criticism over his decision, Sestak said CAIR was a “legitimate organization” doing “good work.”

Even Barbara Boxer and Chuck Schumer knew better than to get on that particular train, and in fact before Sestak's appearance at the dinner, the Justice Department named CAIR an unindicted co-conspirator in the Holy Land Federation trial.

Sestak still proudly appeared as scheduled.

More recently, in 2009 Sestak refused to sign the bi-partisan Hoyer-Cantor Letter reaffirming the U.S.-Israel alliance and urging President Obama to press Arab nations to give good faith concessions to Israel to help the Mid East peace process with Israel even though 328 of the members of Congress did.

Sestak was also a prominent member of a group form by Rep. Keith Ellison I call the Congressmen from Hamas . This was group of historically anti-Israel Congressmen led by ex-Nation of Islam member and Minnesota congressman Keith Ellison who sent a letter to President Obama urging him to pressure Israel to unilaterally open its borders with Gaza.

Needless to say, there was absolutely no recognition of the attacks on Israel, which is why those borders were closed in the first place after Hamas took over the Strip in a violent coup that started the civil war between Hamas and Fatah.

Nor was there any mention of pressuring Egypt, a large recipient of US foreign aid to open Egypt's borders with Gaza or to stop building its new security barrier, which includes underground steel barriers to make tunnel smuggling more difficult.Only Israel is singled out, which proves how anti-Israel and anti-Semitic the letter actually was.

Many of the signatories are among the top recipients of campaign money from CAIR, a source of campaign funds for Sestak as well.

And finally, Joe Sestak is enthusiastically endorsed by the anti-Israel George Soros funded group J-Street's PAC.

Either Sestak is clueless about the implications of whom he's in bed with or he simply doesn't care. Either reason should be enough to disqualify him from becoming a US Senator.

Pennsylvania's Jewish and Evangelical voters, and anyone else who cares about America's security ought to think twice before pulling the lever for this tool in November.

The Curious Case of Joe Sestak

You all know by now that Joe Sestak is the Democrat who ended Republican -turned-Democrat Arlen Specter's career by winning the Democrat Pennsylvania primary, in spite of Specter's White House support.

Just one thing...he's been very vocal on a number of occasions that he was offered a White House job to stay out of the primary and ensure the party-hopping Specter another chance at re-election. And the White House has been denying it..until now, when their response basically boils down to 'trust us' :

For three months, the White House has refused to say whether it offered a job to Representative Joe Sestak to get him to drop his challenge to Senator Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic primary, as Mr. Sestak has asserted.

But the White House wants everyone who suspects that something untoward, or even illegal, might have happened to rest easy: though it still will not reveal what happened, the White House is reassuring skeptics that it has examined its own actions and decided it did nothing wrong. Whatever it was that it did.

“Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak,” Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said Sunday on “Face the Nation” on CBS. “And nothing inappropriate happened.”

“Improper or not, did you offer him a job in the administration?” asked the host, Bob Schieffer.

“I’m not going to get further into what the conversations were,” Mr. Gibbs replied. “People that have looked into them assure me that they weren’t inappropriate in any way.”

Perhaps unsurprisingly, the “trust us” response from the White House has not exactly put the matter to rest. With Mr. Sestak’s victory over Mr. Specter in last week’s primary, the questions have returned with intensity, only to remain unanswered. Mr. Gibbs deflected questions 13 times at a White House briefing last week just two days after the primary. Mr. Sestak, a retired admiral, has reaffirmed his assertion without providing any details, like who exactly offered what job.

White House Adviser David Axelrod sang the same song Gibbs did:



There's a reason for all this tap dancing. Offering someone a federal job to affect the political process is a felony.

For starters, there's 18 USC 600 — which makes it a crime to offer employment, position, compensation or other benefits in exchange 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.

There are also several other statutes that could apply, like 18 USC 211:

Whoever solicits or receives, either as a political contribution, or for personal emolument, any money or thing of value, in consideration of the promise of support or use of influence in obtaining for any person any appointive office or place under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. Whoever solicits or receives any thing of value in consideration of aiding a person to obtain employment under the United States either by referring his name to an executive department or agency of the United States or by requiring the payment of a fee because such person has secured such employment shall be fined under this title, or imprisoned not more than one year, or both. This section shall not apply to such services rendered by an employment agency pursuant to the written request of an executive department or agency of the United States.

Or 18 USC 595:

Whoever, being a person employed in any administrative position by the United States, or by any department or agency thereof, or by the District of Columbia or any agency or instrumentality thereof, or by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States, or any political subdivision, municipality, or agency thereof, or agency of such political subdivision or municipality (including any corporation owned or controlled by any State, Territory, or Possession of the United States or by any such political subdivision, municipality, or agency), in connection with any activity which is financed in whole or in part by loans or grants made by the United States, or 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.

All three of the statutes were cited by GOP Congressman Darrel Issa in a letter he sent to Attorney General Eric Holder, asking for 'clarification'.

That's a letter I guarantee you Holder isn't going to answer.

Now, the normal process if we were dealing with an honest Justice Department would call for an investigation, which would include subpoenaing Sestak under oath to say exactly who offered him a job. Nor could Sestak duck out of it. Imagine you or I telling the police that, yes, we saw a murder or a robbery, but we couldn't reveal any details!

There are civil and criminal penalties for withholding evidence in a felony investigation as well as for lying under oath, otherwise known as perjury.

Needless to say, that won't happen in the Obama Administration, which will simply decline to investigate it further.

However, the House has the power to subpoena witnesses and mount it's own investigation and call for a special prosecutor. Again, the Democrats will never sign on to this, so the whole process might not happen until after the new Congress sits.

An interesting question at this point is that if Sestak isn't lying, the White House is protecting somebody.To the extent that Barack Obama signed off on this, it could be an impeachable offense after the midterms if the GOP takes over and runs an investigation.

As for Sestak himself, Pennsylvania voters have a right to know what happened and should demand the truth about this and a lot of other things. Joe Sestak has some other interesting baggage, which I'll get to later today.
