Joe Sestak still claims that he was offered a job to drop out of the primary race

  Even after Joe Sestack defeated Arlen Specter in the Pennsylvania primary he is still claiming that he was offered a high level position in the Obama administration to drop out of the race.

  If what Joe Sestak is claiming it true– and of yet he has still refused to offer more details, or any proof– than the person who offered him the job committed a federal crime, and should be prosecuted.

  These charges are not going to go away now that Joe Sestak has defeated Arlen Specter and there needs to be a special investigator named to investigate these charges. If Joe Sestak is lying he needs to face charges of libel against the administration, but if he is telling the truth the American people deserve to know the truth– and the offending person needs to be brought up on federal charges.

  As of right now, the Democrats have no intention of naming a special investigator, so one is left to wonder why. Joe Sestak might not be offering any proof, but the Democrats’ lack of enthusiasm to name a special prosecutor leads me to believe that they are fearful– or perhaps they know– the truth about this story. If there was nothing to this story wouldn’t Democrats be eager to clear the names of the people who may have been involved?

  The only two reasons– other than the fact that Joe Sestak might be telling the truth and thus implicating a member of the Obama administration– that the Democrats might be leery of investigating the claims, are the possibility that if the claims are true the Democrats might be in greater danger of losing this seat, or Joe Sestak is lying and Democrats are trying to protect one of their own before the election.

  Either the Democrats are afraid that an Obama administration official is guilty, they are trying desperately to hold onto this seat, even if it means letting a federal crime go unpunished, or they are afraid that Joe Sestak is lying and they are unwilling to admit that a Democrat lied for personal political gain. None of these scenarios paint the Democrats in a good light, so they are hoping that if they ignore these allegations they will go away.

  There are only two possible reasons that I can come up with for Joe Sestak to lie about being offered a high ranking position in the Obama administration and turning it down before making the offer public. The first reason is that this is an attempt by a Democrat to distance himself from the administration during what seems like a strong anti-incumbant election. But would Joe Sestak risk his freedom for political gain? I find it hard to believe that anyone would do so. The second possible reason is that Joe Sestak was just too stupid to understand how serious these charges are, and threw them out there in an attempt to unseat Arlen Specter  without fully understanding the repercussions that could follow if these charges were followed up on. I find it hard to believe that Joe Sestak was that stupid.

  All of this leads me to believe that these charges are true and that someone in the Obama administration has committed a federal crime. But I also believe that Joe Sestak cannot back up these claims, which makes his unwillingness to let the claims disappear baffling.

  The bottom line here is, these charges are not going away any time soon and we need to get to the bottom of this. Someone is lying and the American people deserve to know who it is. It is time to open up a special investigation into these charges.
