The FBI strongly suspects that in 2006, Sestak accepted bribes from United Food and Commercial Workers (UFCW) Union Local 1776 President Wendell Young IV. Young IV is also the target of a wide-ranging FBI probe (he stands accused of bank fraud, mail fraud, and other very serious federal violations). The U.S. Attorney's Office is now involved (suggesting that the probe is in its latter stages).<br />Sestak is aware that he is under investigation, and is panic-stricken. He hopes (in vain, no doubt) that a deal can be struck: he will bring his floundering Senate bid to a close (and stop making imprudent remarks about the President), and in exchange, the Obama Administration and influential Democrats will intercede on his behalf with the Justice Department.<br />See Comment#1<br />http://www.talkingsides.com/blogs/2010/02/19/did-obama-offer-sestak-a-bribe<br /><br /> So Sestak is no stranger to bribes. There should be an investigation. Even if to protect the [p]resident. If the FBI declines to investigate then an ethics probe against Sestak will/should be sought.Georgetownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12281549786478937203noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-63048873305488325932010-05-30T23:27:37.455-04:002010-05-30T23:27:37.455-04:00Update: Judicial Watch released a recent statemen...Update: Judicial Watch released a recent statement, which explains explains more of what was happening, if the report they received is correct:<br /><br />"...This latest bribery allegation reflects a disturbing pattern by the Obama White House. We still don’t have all the details about involvement of Obama administration officials in the sale of Obama’s former Illinois U.S. Senate seat by Rod Blagojevich. And we still don’t have answers about the charge that Obama Deputy Chief of Staff Jim Messina offered a federal job to Colorado Democratic Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff to keep him out of the Senate race. <b>There is also the report that President Obama tried to push disgruntled White House Counsel Greg Craig out of the White House by offering a federal judgeship on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the D.C. Circuit. </b>And now we have Joe Sestak..."<br /><br />I still don't know why he was so "disgruntled" if it wasn't about differences over policy and Gitmo.<br /><br />http://www.judicialwatch.org/news/2010/<br />may/judicial-watch-statement-sestak-scandalA.G.https://www.blogger.com/profile/04715847289617725350noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-22791667821766912102010-05-30T20:53:18.136-04:002010-05-30T20:53:18.136-04:00Zip,None, Nada, ZilchZip,None, Nada, Zilchsalesjerkhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16242606409947114294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034478.post-14381462535908044122010-05-30T20:46:27.254-04:002010-05-30T20:46:27.254-04:00Hey Doug,

Hope it helps putting this puzzle together...<br /><br /><i>"One more data point: in news you definitely could have missed, White House Deputy Counsel Daniel J. Meltzer resigned earlier this month"</i><br /><br />Yeah, I actually <i>did</i> miss that one- the news happens so fast with these people- blink and you'll miss it.
