Obama Administration Accused of "Nixonian Coverup"

Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.) has accused the Obama Administration of perpetrating a "Nixonian" cover-up of a possibly illegal job offer. For weeks, Issa has been suggesting the White House may have broken a law by allegedly offering Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) an administration job in exchange for dropping his primary challenge against Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.). Setsak made that claim during a radio interview last month, and reiterated it recently, but has refused to elaborate on the details of the offer including who in the Obama Administration made it.

Issa, the ranking member of the House Government Reform and Oversight Committee, said in a recent interview with Fox News's Neil Cavuto that the White House isn't answering his questions. "And this is sort of Nixonian, actually, more than Clintonian," he said, rejecting Cavuto's analogy to President Clinton. "If it was done, it was probably at a level well below the president. It was probably done by, quote, 'some of the president's men.' "
