Clinton just can't keep his hands off of the USA.

Senior White House advisers asked former President Bill Clinton to talk to Joe Sestak about whether he was serious about running for Senate, and to feel out whether he'd be open to other alternatives, according to sources familiar with the situation.
But the White House maintains that the Clinton-Sestak discussions were informal, according to the sources. The White House, under pressure to divulge the specifics of its interactions with Sestak, will release a formal statement later today outlining their version of events, including Clinton's involvement.
According to the sources, White House chief of staff Rahm Emanuel asked Clinton and his longtime adviser, lawyer Doug Band, to talk to Sestak about the race. It's unclear right now whether the White House will say that Clinton was asked to suggest specific administration positions for Sestak, whether Clinton floated positions on his own, whether Clinton discussed other options not related to the adminstration, or whether employment even came up at all in the talks.

Sestak endorsed Hillary Rodham Clinton for president in the 2008 Democratic primaries.
Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm ...
The Clintons think the are just doing favors to call in at some future date.
They do not realize that Zer0 is far more than a personally ambitious competitor-- he is the handpicked puppet for the new world order.
Their lunch was yesterday and you can bet they were trying to get their stories straight....
Hope he taped the conversation or the FBI had his phone tapped.
Call in Ken Starr.
Great post ..... Rahm could send the whole lot of 'em to the joint.
Watch old Rahm get 'religion' - real fast.
Depends on the meaning of the word “is”.
Sounds like they are digging a deeper hole with this whopper.
That’s what happens when 0 and his administration are incapable of telling the truth.

White House Used Bill Clinton to Ask Sestak to Drop Out of Race
By PETER BAKER
Wow the WH is so into blaming EVEYTHING on former presidents that they have now added Bubba to the short list that was previously restricted to George Bush.
It all depends on what the meaning of “Is, Is”.
The really funny part is that we (Repubs/conservatives) are rooting for Clinton this time. The enemy of our enemy etc.
Good one!
It depends upon what the definition of bribe is.
Since the ‘White House’ asked.....it’s still a felony.
Didnt Obama just meet with Clinton the other day, wonder if this is when they came up with the story.
