Interesting as a dig at the most transparent administration evah, but this kind of dealing shouldn't be a crime. The GOP does it too and it's what party bosses are for.
Ah, the old "the GOP does it too" defense. Very edifying. But, if you're so sure of that, can you cite a specific case of a GOP official in recent memory who broke the law in this fashion? I mean, someone like Blago in Chicago, putting up a Senate seat up for sale? If you read the second article carefully, you'll see there is a statute against such trafficking of influence, with hard time penalties attached. Covering up, or failing to report knowledge of such activities is also a felony, or whatever the term for that is (I'm not a shyster).
So, don't feed me the usual HuffPo/Kos "tu quoque" talking points in response. Do you have something concrete to defend and affirm such illegal maneuvers?

Ever heard of a smoke-filled room, Tecs?

GOPers just don't get people pissed off enough that they blab like Sestak.
Incidentally, my tu quoque talking points came from WSJ.
50% of your talking points are tu quoques. And 80% of lefty talking points are of that nature. Now, do the probabilities da puta.
