There is a major scandal brewing in Washington DC and our own Congressman, Joe Sestak, is right in the middle of it, however, it appears he did nothing wrong. It seems President Obama wanted to talk Conshohocken’s Congressman out of running in the Democratic Primary for Senate against Arlen Specter (D). The White House released a statement last week that said Obama’s Chief of Staff, Rahm Emmanuel, called former President Bill Clinton and asked him to give Sestak a call and talk him out of the race and offer him a position in the administration in return for not challenging Specter. Sestak refused and then mentioned the offer during an interview. Interfering with an election is against the law and thus there are calls for an independent investigation which the White House has thus far refused.
