Layers of plausible deniability. It’s why Little Dick Daley hasn’t been indicted.
The Chicago Way.
Lets deal with the Plausible bit. They ask a Former President of the United States to contact a Congressman to offer him an unpaid advisory position to the Whitehouse as an incentive for him to drop out of a Primary against Arlen Specter.
Mmmmm... lets see where that is on BS scale.
First. Any rational person who is inexperienced would know that such a position for a sitting Congressman is impossible because of Separation of Powers concerns. And low and behold later we are told the offer wasn't possible after all. Oh. And Clinton wouldn't know this. Hmmm. And why would the Congressman want this?
However, lets just deal with the facts. The Whitehouse has admitted to asking Clinton to ask Sestack to drop out and admitted that ideas were flouted about positions to offer him, one of them being this asinine bullc45p unreal lie of a distraction.
Now they have copped to the mechanism, now we only need establish that something of value was offered and they are hoping that folks won't chase this thread.
But, Sestack has implied several times that it was a Secretary position, mmmm... quite a different story.
All of this slings egg on both the WH and Sestack. But, there is more to come.. as this is a pattern of abuse, not an isolated event.
