[[Joe Sestak]] alleges the Obama administration offered the second-term congressman a "high-ranking" job if he would abandon his primary challenge against Senator [[Arlen Specter]], which is against the law. Gibbs had been asked on five different occasions regarding the matter but has misled or stonewalled the issue. Anybody else on the Obama White House staff, including Robert Gibbs, who currently knows what has happened and has not reported it to the proper authorities may find themselves guilty of misprision of a felony. <ref>[http://spectator.org/archives/2010/03/16/specter-opens-door-on-white-ho/3 Specter Opens Door on White House Felonies, American Spectator P.4, March 16, 2010]</ref>

In May 2010 when asked about the questionable activity, Gibbs responded, "I don't have anything to add to what I said in March." When a reporter pointed out that Gibbs did not provide any substantive information in March - other than to say the issue was "not problematic" - Gibbs again said he didn't "have anything to add" and repeated that line five times before cutting off further questions. <ref>Gibbs Cracks Whip as Administration Faces New Criticism, FOXNews, 26 May 2010.</ref>
