Sestak Was Contacted Twice By The White House? Bill Clinton Only Contacted Sestak Once. Hmmmm.
5/29/2010 | Laissez-Faire Capitalist

Posted on 05/29/2010 6:45:46 PM PDT by Laissez-faire capitalist

Charles Krauthammer brought up how TWO contacts were made with Sestak by the White House. One in June and one in July of 2009.

Clinton only talked one time with Sestak about taking an unpaid advisory position.

In his interview with Larry Kane, Sestak said yes to being offered a "high ranking" and a "federal job" by someone in the White House. When asked if it was for Secretary of the Navy he responded with "no comment."

An unpaid advisory position would not be a high ranking federal job.

What was that high ranking federal job and who would be the one who would have the power to offer it? Was Sestak ever offered a paid job in exchange for dropping out of the PA race? Krauthammer said that the official White House response does not deny offering Sestak a paid job.

That’s the thing: The entire story is a farce. Where are the records of Sestak talking with the Predator? I can guarantee you that all “records” will have been “lost”. One thing IS certain: Sestak attained high ranking in the Navy despite, and maybe b/c of being a lying sleazebag. Is there no honor left in the U.S. Navy? Bob

What I brought out was that Krauthammer commented on the White House’s official statement - the WH says in their official statement that they made two contacts with Sestak. They say they made one in June of 2009 and one in July of 2009.

Again, as I said before in another post, what Sestak has said does not line up with what the White House has said.

***People need to continue to compare Sestak’s comments with White House’s official statements and keep on doing this. They don’t line up.***

Something is fishy...

I want to see if what WJC and Sestak say under oath matches up with the Official WH statement.

Like I said in previous posts Clinton is nothing but a “red herring” to lure us off the other contacts.

Sestak originally said it was someone high up in the Administration.

That was not Clinton...

I pray that we have the chance. In this political atmosphere I doubt that we will have the opportunity.

That is what I am getting at, too.

Clinton is an interpolation into the narrative.

He is a diversion, aka, a “red herring.”

Indeed, I fail to see where Bill Clinton is someone high up in the administration, as he is not part of the Obama administration.

My take: this story is a fabrication. I dont believe it for a nanosecond.

I don’t believe it either. It is an interpolation into the narrative.

One would think with the connection this administration has with the Nixon investigation, they’d tell the truth and get rid of the “higher level”...protect the president.

We need to keep asking: What did BO know and when did he know it? Is the president office tape player still recording?

Does anyone honestly think that Joe Sestak would even consider an UNPAID position?

The White House memo contains the phrase, “efforts (plural) were made in June and July of 2009...”.

That might be read as “two” efforts (one in June and July), but it is deliberately ambiguous. There may have been two, there may have been twenty two. That isn’t made clear—on purpose. They want you to think only two, but there were probably more than that.

This Chicago attitude of Obama and Rahm will probably be their undoing.

Oh, I certainly HOPE so!

Yeah, but the Sestak account is the specifics of ONE conversation - a little "explaining" here would unravel some inconsistencies PDQ.

But the main game here is for it to just go away. Then they risk a Repub congress investigation or a friendly now investigation. Time to pull out everything we can to keep this issue alive!

Right. And a 30-60 second passing mention that he hardly recalls and almost laughs off. The WH memo clearly says "efforts" in June and July whereas Sestak maintains only one brief mention in a longer phone call with Clinton.

Sestak best be very careful or he'll be drawn into a peeing contest that he cannot win against the WH Chicago operatives. His best bet for survival is to come clean - really clean - with everything that happened. But maybe he can't do that without implicating himself in wrongdoing, e.g. what if it was he who mentioned that there's no way he would get out of this race for anything less than Sec. of the Navy (as a joke, of course the line would be).
