Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said it's up to Sestak to say more about allegations the administration offered him a job.
Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) should explain more about allegations the White House offered him a job in exchange for dropping out of the Pennsylvania Senate race, a top Senate Democrat said Tuesday.
Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) said the onus is on Sestak to say more about the offer he claimed to have received from the Obama administration in exchange for dropping his primary challenge to Sen. Arlen Specter (D-Pa.).
"At some point, I think Congressman Sestak needs to make clear what happened," Durbin told reporters at the Capitol.
Republicans have put pressure on Sestak and the White House to explain more about their conversations, led by Rep. Darrell Issa (R-Calif.), the ranking member of the House Oversight and Goverment Reform Committee, who has suggested a criminal probe in the matter.
Durbin said the responsibility falls with Sestak — not the White House — to explain, because Sestak, Durbin said, "raised the issue."
Durbin is arguably the highest-profile Democrat to call for more information in the incident. Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) urged the White House on Monday to disclose what it knows.
"The only thing I heard was Axelrod said that nothing inappropriate took place," Durbin said, referencing White House senior advisor David Axelrod.
heh heh heh
Not a bad idea but don’t know about giving it to O’Rile. :)
Zer0 and some of his close thugs can’t be too happy about Dems wanting some answers, no matter their intentions.
Broken knee-cap style dicey....
He already got the horse head in his bed as a warning, no doubt.
LOL!
You may not be too far off. :)
If the Dems can separate Sestak from Obama in the minds of weak-minded Pa swing voters they can win the election. So, they are working this one to make Sestak look like a “victim” of the Obama admin in Pa., though nationally they will want it to play the other way. Watch them win this election.
** ... couple of Dems wanting answers, ...**
Sure they do ... they need to know how deep the Coverup HAS to GO!!
All he has to say is that he "misspoke".
Yes, tell all your leftist liberal “friends”, relatives and co-workers that voting this year will be in December, not November, in honor of Ted Kennedy and the Winter solstice or some such.
You nailed it.
