White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel enlisted former President Bill Clinton to persuade Rep. Joe Sestak not to run in the Pennsylvania Democratic primary but nothing improper occurred, the White House counsel said in a memo issued Friday.
According to the memo, written by White House counsel Robert Bauer, Clinton asked Sestak if he wanted to take on an unpaid, advisory role with the White House and encourage him not to challenge Sen. Arlen Specter, who had switched the Democratic party last year.
The rebuttal represents the first substantive comments from the White House on the controversy. Dozens of Republicans — including former Attorney General Michael Mukasey and all of the GOP members of the Senate Judiciary Committee — have pressed for the Justice Department to appoint a special prosecutor to look into the White House job offer.
The full memo is embedded below.

Yeah, that would really convince someone to drop out of a primary race.

Just because the position was unpaid does NOT mean it had no VALUE.
Thanks for the admission of guilt WH.

Uh, it's still illegal.
Whoever, directly or indirectly, promises any employment, position, compensation, contract, appointment, or other benefit,
If it was an "unpaid, advisory role" it would be a "position" in the administration. If that "position" was under any department that recieved federal funding, it is still illegal under Title 18.I.29.600

Both Slestak and Obama lie. just ask Marshall,Will or Holly.
