Prof. Painter Cited in NYT on White House Job Discussions

Professor Richard Painter was cited in a New York Times article on the controversy over White House discussions of possible jobs in the Obama Administration for Joe Sestak and Andrew Romanoff, which Republicans say is to dissuade them from running against incumbents in Democratic Senate primaries. Professor Painter, formerly the chief ethics lawyer for President Bush, along with former Attorney General Michael Muskasey were both reported in the article to be of the view that no criminal conduct is likely to have occurred.
