>> sean: back to the redacted portion, supporter of the presidential candidate barack obama is mentioned in a phone call on november 3, 2008, offering fund reyesing in exchange for senate candidate "b" for that seat. does it sound on the surface as a crime to you? >> no. >> sean: why not? s>> not just on that. again, if we make this appointment, we sure will need your help. it could be as vague as that. that is not a -- >> sean: its going be on c-span -- if we threw everyone out in politics that...
