He said that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoken with him about my being on a Presidential Board while remaining in the House of Representatives. I said no. I told President Clinton that my only consideration in getting into the Senate race or not was whether it was the right thing to do for Pennsylvania working families and not any offer. The former President said he knew I'd say that, and the conversation moved on to other subjects.
"There are many important challenges facing Pennsylvania and the rest of the country. I intend to remain focused on those issues and continue my fight on behalf of working families."


What lies these fuggers will tell.
That is why Sestak wanted to wait until the WH spoke, so he knew what story to tell.

Absolutely....but he already said something different that conflicts with his new story.

I can't wait for you to reveal the "truth".

Oh wait, Roy said he was going to wait for FOX to reveal their version of "truth", so maybe we'll just wait for him.

It is typical Chicago and some of the crooked liars are in charge of our country now so if you think you can trust them?
Remember this, Illinois is broke.
I guess they had no other choice but to fill their pockets in Washington until the country is broke.
Oh I forgot, the country is broke.
Is that why we are going global?
Maybe some money to be made somewhere around the globe.
Chicago crooks trying to take over the world.

I dont care if Sestek does confirm it. Anytime someone in the white house is alleged to have committed a crime just as any citizen of this country would be investigated so should the white house automatically. With an outside prosecutor.

Clinton was the perfect patsy for the job. He has no government job so he has nothing to lose by "talking" to Sestek.

Problem is though that someone inside the WH prompted Clinton to do that on behalf of the Dem party. Seems to be stopping at Rahm but me thinks it goes all the way to the top.

It's already out. Nothing improper happened. I'm sorry if this ruins your weekend.

Sestak's brother even in on the coverup with the WH.

"They (the White House) got hold of my brother on his cellphone, and he spoke to the White House… about what's going to occur," said Sestak, who said he expects the White House will release its information Friday. He declined to elaborate on his discussions with his brother. "

Rahm asked Bubba to talk to Sestak about the job, at the behest of obama of course.

The WH called Bubba in yesterday to figure out the story to tell and then called Sestak's brother to coordinate with him exactly what they would be saying.

This smells even worse than before.

I guess you're NOT aware of the original comments by Sestak?

That he was offered a "job" by "someone IN the White House".

Now, that really doesn't fly with the "story" they have manufactured, does it?

Issa's statement;

http://voices.washingtonpost.com/rig..._doesnt_h.html

Quote:
“I’m very concerned that in the rush to put together this report, the White House has done everything but explain its own actions and has instead worked to craft a story behind closed doors and coordinate with those involved. The White House has admitted today to coordinating an arrangement that would represent an illegal quid-pro-quo as federal law prohibits directly or indirectly offering any position or appointment, paid or unpaid, in exchange for favors connected with an election.
