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.
The hair on the back of my neck is starting to stick up. We are spending a lot of time talking about Sestak and the nuances of the WH statements. I get the feeling that this is the old political magician trick. We are busy watching the right hand and the left hand is going completely unnoticed. What’s Obama’s left hand doing? Is he deflecting the BP fiasco or is he doing some new assault on liberty. I don’t trust these guys for one second.
