The House Judiciary Committee voted down the GOP's resolution of inquiry 15-12. The measure demanded that the Obama administration release documents related to jobs offers that the White House suggested to Rep. Joe Sestak (Pa.) and former Colorado House Speaker Andrew Romanoff in an attempt to get them to quit their primary contests.
Republicans in Congress had pounced on the revelations of the offers, accusing the White House, at worst, of committing federal crimes and, at least, violating their pledge to run a transparent administration.
Ranking member Lamar Smith (R-Texas) and Rep. James Sensenbrenner Jr. (R-Wis.) introduced the resolution last week.
Smith said in a statement that the White House should still be forthcoming about the documents.
"I am disappointed that this Resolution of Inquiry is even necessary," he said. "But the administration has ignored all efforts to conduct meaningful oversight. If the administration has nothing to hide, why not provide Congress with the requested documents and restore integrity to our election process? It’s time for the White House to make good on its promise of transparency and come clean about what other elections Administration officials may have sought to influence."
Nothing will be done! Does it scare you? It should!
ReplyDeleteThis is a non-issue where no laws were broken. Only people out to get Obama for anything care about this non-story.
ReplyDeleteThis may be non issue but Obama has broken plenty of laws he is a filthy lying Muslim that should be prosecuted for treason and punished to the fullest extent of the law.
ReplyDeleteMany people do not realize that those who look out for us need to take care of each other.
ReplyDeleteWe are simply tax payers.
These Washington officials are making important decisions about how we should live and what is in our best interest. They look out for us.
