Sestak offer - Obama's Watergate? (OneNewsNow.com)

Some Republicans believe the Obama administration may have broken the law in offering Democrat Joe Sestak a job in exchange for bowing out of his bid for Senate against White House-supported Pennsylvania Senator Arlen Specter.

The White House revealed on Friday that Obama Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel actually had former President Bill Clinton ask Sestak last February to drop out of his race for the Democratic Senate nomination -- a race the challenger eventually won. In response, Sestak told reporters that during that telephone conversation with Clinton he declined the administration's offer for a non-paying presidential advisory position.

Congressman Issa said: "The offer could be an 'impeachable' offense as it is a crime under a law signed, of all things, by President Clinton during his administration." Issa has also suggested that the controversy over the alleged job offer could be President Obama's Watergate scandal.
