One would think the Chicago Mafia (Obama administration) would have learned from the experience of the former governor of Illinois that trying to influence an election is not a good idea. But then the recent experience of former President Clinton offering Rep. Joe Sestak a position on an advisory board to the President in exchange for his dropping out of the Pennsylvinia Democratic primary to assure a win for Sen. Specter argues otherwise. It appears the Administration may be in violation of Section 600 of the federal criminal code, which makes it illegal to promise anyone an appointment in exchange for political activity or in exchange for supporting or opposing a candidate.

According to an article in today's issue of the Wall Street Journal, another "possible legal avenue for a probe could be to look into whether Rahm Emanuel's actions (sending his former boss to sound out the possibility with Rep. Sestak)might be in violation of the Hatch Act.

I guess time will tell, right?
