Issa's response to Sestak
House of Representatives ^ | May 28, 2010 | Rep. Darrell Issa

Posted on 05/28/2010 12:19:38 PM PDT by PhilosopherStone1000

“After more than ten weeks of outstanding questions, the White House has offered a version of events that has important differences from what Congressman Sestak has been saying for months – that he was offered a ‘job’ by ‘someone in the White House’ in exchange for leaving the Pennsylvania Senate race.

“I’m very concerned that in the rush to put together this report, the White House has done everything but explain its own actions and has instead worked to craft a story behind closed doors and coordinate with those involved. The White House has admitted today to coordinating an arrangement that would represent an illegal quid-pro-quo as federal law prohibits directly or indirectly offering any position or appointment, paid or unpaid, in exchange for favors connected with an election.

“President Clinton and Congressman Sestak now need to answer questions about what the White House has released today – that at the behest of the White House Chief of staff, they dispatched a former President to get Joe Sestak out of the Pennsylvania Senate Primary. Regardless of what President Clinton or Congressman Sestak now say, it is abundantly clear that this kind of conduct is contrary to President Obama’s pledge to change ‘business as usual’ and that his Administration has engaged in the kind of political shenanigans he once campaigned to end.”

How many of you want to bet that Sestak has a Vince Foster moment in his future courtesy of Obummers thugs.

Look they twisted it to “non paid” so people will say... oh it wasnt a money deal. However put Sestak under oath and ask if it was the top Naval job.

Great point! I almost missed it.

Who will be the first to ask Sestak “what position does bubba hold in the Obama administration?”
