Under This Title

Newt Gingrich’s promise to the Republican Jewish Coalition that he would appoint the deranged John Bolton as Secretary of State was and is a breach of federal law, specifically of Title 18, Part I, Chapter 29, Section 599 of the U.S. Code:

“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.”
