Michael Bennet, administration officials said Wednesday, just days after the White House admitted orchestrating a similar job offer in the Pennsylvania Senate race.

don't worry about it.. that's just how things are done in DC... its called a backroom deal and it's been happening forever..

like the DC thing where they make a law for US, but it ain't really applied to them.. cause they are above the "law"
