For Sestak Matter, a ‘Trust Us’ Response From White House By PETER BAKER
WASHINGTON — For three months, the White House has refused to say whether it offered a job to Representative Joe Sestak to induce him to drop his challenge to Senator Arlen Specter in a Pennsylvania Democratic primary, as Mr. Sestak has asserted.
But the White House wants everyone who suspects that something untoward, or even illegal, might have happened to rest easy: it still will not reveal what happened, but the White House says it has examined its own actions and decided that it did nothing wrong. Whatever it was that it did.
“Lawyers in the White House and others have looked into conversations that were had with Congressman Sestak,” Robert Gibbs, the White House press secretary, said on Sunday on the “Face the Nation” program on CBS. “And nothing inappropriate happened.”
“Improper or not, did you offer him a job in the administration?” asked the host, Bob Schieffer.
“I’m not going to get further into what the conversations were,” Mr. Gibbs replied. “People that have looked into them assure me that they weren’t inappropriate in any way.”
Perhaps unsurprisingly, the “trust us” response from the White House has not exactly put the matter to rest. Though Mr. Sestak stayed in the race, and defeated Mr. Specter in the primary last Tuesday, the questions have returned with intensity and remain unanswered. Mr. Gibbs deflected questions about the matter 13 times at a White House news briefing last Thursday, while Mr. Sestak reaffirmed his assertion without providing any specifics about what the offer was or who made it.

Just imagine if Bush had done this....
Even Pinchee is pissed, he needs positive cash flow before the family money is gone....
“I don’t see the scandal,” Steve Elmendorf, who was chief of staff to former Representative Richard A. Gephardt of Missouri when Mr. Gephardt was the House Democratic leader, said in an e-mail message. “Sestak is totally qualified for the job, and Dem and Rep presidents routinely offer members of Congress jobs for all sorts of reasons.”
Uh, qualified for WHAT job?
“the White House says it has examined its own actions and decided that it did nothing wrong.”
Thanks for helping me believe the Bible:
“Every way of a fool is right in his own eyes.” (Prov. 12.15)
This from the most transparent administration ever? More like the most corrupt ever.
Well thank you for confirming that you did an internal investigation and have the records to show it. Now that will make the subpeonas all the easier now that you have consolidated the information in one place.
