Biden Got Endorsements from Beto and Buttigieg, But People Are Asking If He Broke the Law In the Process

After Joe Biden won South Carolina last Saturday, seemingly convincing the powers that be behind the scene that he had some viability, there appeared to be some arm-twisting and/or horse trading going on behind the scenes to have folks endorse Biden to help his chances for Super Tuesday.

First, let’s look at what’s been reported about the interactions with Pete Buttigieg, according to PJ Media.

While being interviewed on KHOU 11 News in Houston, Texas, on Monday, Biden revealed he’d discussed giving Buttigieg a position in his administration.
“I did speak to Pete Buttigieg a couple of days ago to encouraged him to stay engaged because he has enormous talent and I indicated to him that if I became the nominee, I’d be coming to ask him to be a part of an administration to be engaged in moving things forward,” Biden said.

Biden said a couple of days ago on March 2. The New York Times reported they spoke on Sunday after he had dropped out.

Mr. Buttigieg talked with Mr. Biden and former President Barack Obama on Sunday night, according to a Democratic official familiar with the conversations. Mr. Biden asked for Mr. Buttigieg’s support and the former mayor indicated he would consider the request. Mr. Buttigieg wants to sleep on the decision, he told aides, some of whom believe he should move quickly to endorse Mr. Biden.
Mr. Obama did not specifically encourage Mr. Buttigieg to endorse Mr. Biden, said the official, who insisted on anonymity to discuss private conversations. But Mr. Obama did note that Mr. Buttigieg has considerable leverage at the moment and should think about how best to use it.

But Buttigieg didn’t endorse Biden until Monday, after whatever conversation Biden had with him, about saying would be offering him a position in his administration.
Second, let’s look at the interactions with Beto O’Rourke. Here’s how Fox describes them.

In a surprise moment at the end of his Dallas rally on the eve of Super Tuesday, former Vice President Joe Biden called former Texas Rep. Beto O’Rourke up to the stage — and vowed to put O’Rourke, who has said the government should forcibly seize assault rifles from Americans, in charge of gun-control efforts.
Also at the rally, Biden accepted the endorsements of onetime rivals Pete Buttigieg and Amy Klobuchar, as the Democratic party’s moderate wing rallied behind Biden to challenge anti-establishment frontrunner and self-described “democratic socialist” Sen. Bernie Sanders, I-Vt.
“Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow, March 3, 2020, I will be casting my ballot for Joe Biden,” O’Rourke announced to applause at the rally’s conclusion.

PJ Media pointed out the problem as to Buttigieg but it appears to apply to O’Rourke as well.

18 U.S. Code § 599 is pretty clear on this. “Whoever, being a candidate, directly or indirectly promises or pledges the appointment, or the use of his influence or support for the appointment of any person to any public or private position or employment, for the purpose of procuring support in his candidacy shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than one year, or both; and if the violation was willful, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than two years, or both.”

So was there some “quid pro joeing” going on there?
So is anyone going to ask any questions about this? Or is this just politics as usual?

I think this would be Politics more than anything. No one is in an official capacity at this point. Maybe it's a back room deal but not really a Quid Quo Pro.

Here it comes. Beebsy and the carnival barking clowns will be at it 24/7.

The one thing we knows from this is that the Russians have discovered who really has possessions of the trump pee tape.

It’s Bidens.

Bingo.

yawn... its more quid pro quo from joe....

[oeb11]

Joe Biden still working along his Burisma line of quid pro quo!


related - i am a bit surprised there has not been criticism of the Beto "Gun Czar" announcement.

Beto made it clear "hell yes, we are coming for your AR-15's".
DPST's have made it clear to all the deniers now - they are here to confiscate your weapons. This needs to be an electoral issue - and Trump will take it up.

What Beto and ilk do not understand - they are toying with civil war if they do gain election - and try to implement that strategy in Middle America - and particularly in Texas.

Ain't gonna fly.



j666 can now complain - "Lie"!!!

[gnadfly]

It's just "quid pro Joe" being "quid pro Joe." And the usual free pass from the MSM!

[oeb11]

Realistically - it is just political maneuvering - and all politicians do it.

I very much doubt AG Barr is interested in the above matter - not when criminal issues involving the Durham report are pending.

How did Biden do on Super Thursday?

Also, his confusion between his wife and daughter just about sums it up!
