Prof. Painter Interviewed on NPR on White House Job Discussions with Sestak and Romanoff

Professor Richard Painter was interviewed by NPR's Michele Norris for a five minute segment on All Things Considered. He discussed the controversy over White House discussions of possible jobs in the Obama Administration for Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff to dissuade them from running against incumbents in Democratic primaries in Pennsylvania and Colorado respectively. Professor Painter said that these discussions were not illegal. They were, however, an undesirable, although hardly unprecedented, intrusion of partisan politics in the work of the White House.
