Rep. Joe Sestak's allegation that the White House offered him a job to drop out of the Pennsylvania Senate primary race against Arlen Specter is a crime that could lead to the impeachment of President Obama, Rep. Darrell Issa said.

But the decision by the Pennsylvania congressman not to elaborate on a so-called deal also could become a political problem as Sestak tries for the U.S. Senate seat.

The White House reportedly is going to formally address the allegation in the next few days. In the meantime, Issa, R-Calif., is one of many inside and outside Washington who want the Democratic Senate primary candidate to explain in detail what offer the White House made.

"It's very clear that allegation is one that everyone from Arlen Spector to Dick Morris has said is in fact a crime, and could be impeachable," said Issa, who is threatening to file an ethics compliant if Sestak doesn't provide more details about the alleged job offer.

Darrell Issa, who is well known for funding the recall of Gray Davis in California, is once again calling for the removal of a top Democratic office holder. Of course, he has the full backing of Fox News, which reports it as news, then recycles it as commentary, then reports it as news. Darrell Issa is also well known for calling for an investigation into the Obama administrations efforts to demand higher fuel efficiency from car companies.

So, expect Republicans in 2010 to mobilize support by running on a not so secret agenda to impeach another Democratic President. These efforts will be powered once again by the corporate media, which ran interference during the Bush years.
