Anonymous Coward User ID: 513540 United States 05/26/2010 08:47 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I feel it safe to say that Dick has a good handle on the political machinations since he was in the Clinton stable and knows scum when he sees it, so I'm sure he knows about impeachable offenses. But one thing I don't like about Morris is that he has this sniveling, squirrelly, entitled attitude about him that just makes me want to punch him in the face. He truly lives up to his name and I'm certain that is why Bill Clinton beat him up. He's not a very good person either!

Anonymous Coward User ID: 849411 United States 05/26/2010 09:18 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Sestak White House scandal called 'impeachable offense' Quoting: Anonymous Coward 928398'It's Valerie Plame, only bigger, a high crime and misdemeanor' If a Democratic member of Congress is to be believed, there's someone in the Obama administration who has committed a crime – and if the president knew about it, analysts say it could be grounds for impeachment. "This scandal could be enormous," said Dick Morris, a former White house adviser to President Bill Clinton, on the Fox News Sean Hannity show last night. "It's Valerie Plame only 10 times bigger, because it's illegal and Joe Sestak is either lying or the White House committed a crime. "Obviously, the offer of a significant job in the White House could not be made unless it was by Rahm Emanuel or cleared with Rahm Emanuel," he said. If the job offer was high enough that it also had Obama's apppoval, "that is a high crime and misdemeanor." "In other words, an impeachable offense?" Hannity asked. Aaron Klein's exposé of Barack Obama's notorious connections with extremists and America-haters is scorching the best-seller lists. Order your autographed copy of "The Manchurian President" today. "Absolutely," said Morris. The situation revolves around an oft-repeated statement by Rep. Sestak, D-Pa., that he had been offered a job by the Obama administration in exchange for a decision to drop out of a senatorial primary against longtime Obama supporter Sen. Arlen Specter Sestak said he refused the offer, continued in the primary, and defeated Specter for the Democratic nomination for the Senate seat. But Karl Rove, longtime White House adviser to President George W. Bush, said the charge is explosive because of federal law. "This is a pretty extraordinary charge: 'They tried to bribe me out of the race by offering me a job,'" he said on Greta Van Susteran's "On the Record" program. "Look, that's a violation of the federal code: 18 USC 600 says that a federal official cannot promise employment, a job in the federal government, in return for a political act. "Somebody violated the law. If Sestak is telling the truth, somebody violated the law," Rove said. "Section 18 USC 211 says you cannot accept anything of value in return for hiring somebody. Well, arguably, providing a clear path to the nomination for a fellow Democrat is something of value. He continued, citing a third law passage: "18 USC 595, which prohibits a federal official from interfering with the nomination or election for office. ... 'If you'll get out, we'll appoint you to a federal office,' – that's a violation of the law." Officials with Sestak's congressional office did not respond to WND requests for comment, but the congressman repeatedly has given confirmation that he was offered the position and refused, but that any further comments would have to come from someone else. "I've said all I'm going to say on the matter. … Others need to explain whatever their role might be," Sestak said on CNN this week. "I have a personal accountability; I should have for my role in the matter, which I talked about. Beyond that, I'll let others talk about their role." That's not fulfilling his responsibilities, Rove said. He said Sestak needs to be forthcoming with the full story so "the American people can figure out whether or not he's participating in a criminal cover-up along with federal officials." The Obama White House has tried to minimize the situation. "Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak, and nothing inappropriate happened," White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs has stated. Gibbs told the White House press corps, "Whatever conversations have been had are not problematic." And on CBS' "Face the Nation" he said, "I'm not going to get further into what the conversations were. People who looked into them assure me they weren't inappropriate in any way." But the administration also is taking no chances on what might be discovered. According to a report in Politico, the Justice Department has nixed a request from Rep. Darrell Issa, R-Calif., for a special counsel to investigate and reveal the truth of the controversy. The report said Assistant Attorney General Ronald Weich confirmed no special counsel would be needed for the situation. But the report said Weich also gave no indication that the Justice Department actually was looking into the claims by Sestak. "We assure you that the Department of Justice takes very seriously allegations of criminal conduct by public officials. All such matters are reviewed carefully by career prosecutors and law enforcement agents, and appropriate action, if warranted, is taken," Weich wrote in the letter. Issa had suggested that the alleged job offer may run afoul of federal bribery statutes. He said in a statement to Politico, "The attorney general's refusal to take action in the face of such felonious allegations undermines any claim to transparency and integrity that this administration asserts." the rest of the story here.

There are bigger fish than this in the gulf....hint, hint- you nut case. Finally, thank you. I do not like the war either but this is moronicaly stupid since Congress, including a democratic senate, gave authorization to use military force in Iraq, not to mention the patriot act. Wake up, they are all guilty. The whole system is corrupt including your side, regardless of what side you are on. |

Escapegoat User ID: 878738 United States 05/26/2010 10:30 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | When will they learn that their 90's tactics are done. Ive already seen them play these cards. An impeachable offense is orchestrating a war based entirely on LIES. Another impeachable offense is outing a covert CIA agent in charge of monitoring black market nukes. Yet, not a peep from those idealogical dinosaurs. I realize that perjury under oath is an impeachable offense, which is why I supported the impeachment and subsequent censure of Billy Boy (his Chinese connections also disturbed me). It appears that the Repukes are looking for anything to stick. They need to come up with a new strategy. Im done with their High School bullshit! Fuck Dick Morris, Beck, Palin, Lutz, Rove, Hannity, O'Reilly, Cheney (Liz, Dick will be naturally dead soon enough), Coulter, Savage, Limbaugh et. al. Likewise; Olberman, Maddow, Carville, Matthews, Gore, GE, Disney, Viacom, Time Warner, Newscorp, Clear Channel, et. al. You are ALL 'Mockingbird' operations. Two idealogical individual peas, ultimately the same idealogical pod. The record is skipping. Change the fucking tune. At least lie to us in new and inventive ways. I know that you know that there are known knowns and that your aware of unknown knowns. |
