Barack Obama assured the American people that "nothing improper took place" with regard to claims by Rep. Joe Sestak (D-PA.) that the Obama administration offered him a government job if he would drop out of the Pennsylvania primary race with Sen. Arlen Specter.
Obama also said a White House report about the allegations would be coming "soon".
"Not months or weeks," he said.
Democrats and Republicans have raised questions about what could be a serious violation of federal law, or even an impeachable offense, if Sestak was indeed offered a bribe of a federal job.
Obama made his comments in response to a question by Fox News' Major Garrett at today's press conference.
Obama declined to get into specifics, deferring to the "soon" to be released White House report.
Will depend entirely on whether Sestak has written proof and whether he wants to play hardball against the Chicago Mob by making it public.
And he’s still resisting providing evidence in Blagejovich’s trial.
Mr Transparency.
They don’t need a liar as a US Senator;
Tell the people of CT that.....
Sestak doesn’t seem like he’s one to be deterred. I’m sure he wishes he didn’t say anything, but I don’t know how he can get out of it. He’s on recrod numerous times making the claim, he CANNOT go back on it now. You know Spector is in on this as well and it’s a huge scandal in the making.
No way he has written proof.
The conversation either took place face to face with no witnesses, or over the phone, in which case he better have taped it. Doubtful he even did that.
Weird, sounded just like
I did not have sexual relations with that woman.
The Fox said to the Rancher... nothing happened in the Hen-house, you have my word.
Exactly. And, if the Obama Administration needs to throw anyone under the bus to plug this hole, the designated sacrifice won't rise anywhere near even middle-management level of Obama's circle.
The best they can do now is say “Sestak is a liar, but vote for him anyway.” Competency is not a hallmark of this administration.
Perfect time to release a report. I bet we will see it at 1:00 tomorrow afternoon. 3 day weekend and unofficial start of Summer.
And Andrew Romanoff in Colorado was BRIBED ALSO!! FELONIES!!!
...and let’s not forget the Senate seat for sale in Illinois.
No, this doesn’t look like a pattern, does it?

In that role, Obama is his new ally and can hold one or two fundraisers to shower millions on him or say the word and bury him completely.
Sestak is going to do his best to obfuscate, change the subject, give circular answers, and run out the clock until November.
The GOP has to hammer him everyday for the full story. He won't tell it, but at least we can make him lie on the record.
