FOXNews.com - GOP Lawmaker: White House Job Offer to Sestak Would Have Been a 'Crime': "A GOP lawmaker says that the White House committed a 'crime' if it offered Democratic Rep. Joe Sestak a federal job in exchange for dropping his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa.
'That would be a crime to offer anybody a federal job,' Rep. Darrell Issa, the top Republican on the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, told Fox News on Friday.
For example, the California Republican said it would be a crime if he offered a staff job to anyone to help him win an election.
'It's the same for the executive branch,' he said. 'You can't promise ambassadorships to contributors and even worse, you cannot manipulate the races by saying we'll give you something else if you drop out. You can't do it.'
Sestak, who is aggravating Democratic leaders by challenging Specter for the Senate nomination in Pennsylvania, said last month that the White House dangled a federal job in front of him last summer in an attempt to entice him to drop out of the state's Democratic primary."
