Rep. Joe Sestak (D-Pa.) said Thursday that his brother has spoken with White House officials about the congressman's allegation that he was offered an Obama administration job if he would stay out of a Democratic Senate primary.
Sestak ran in, and won, that primary, defeating the White House's preferred candidate, Sen. Arlen Specter.
He told reporters Thursday that he would not expand upon his prior statements until the White House releases its report on the matter. President Obama said in his news conference that such a report would come "shortly."
Richard Sestak, the congressman's brother, who has served as his top political adviser and campaign lawyer, spoke with administration officials Wednesday, Joe Sestak said.
"They got a hold of my brother on his cell phone, and he spoke to the White House . . . about what's going to occur," said Sestak, who said he expects the White House will release its information Friday. He declined to elaborate on his discussions with Richard.

If Sestak was smart, he’d come right out and tell him who offered him the job. His honesty would win over a lot of voters.
Of course, he won’t do that because we all know that “the Party” is more important than honesty.
Has it occurred to anybody that Sestak is running scared? That he is speaking out about Obama’s conversation w/his brother and the plan to release the info tomorrow because he’s afraid he’ll be charged with a crime for keeping it secret? Smart move if so,imho. Perhaps we’ll learn the full truth tomorrow.
They must know that the National Enquirer is about to break the story.
just told my hubby today “I hope Sestak’s not takin’ obama’s calls...” he looked at me funny and I said “you KNOW they’re callin’....gotta get their story straight....
Now, if they were telling the TRUTH, why call Sestak??
He went after Obamacare - immediately. I could see him pursuing this.
>Sestak is running scared?>
I think that is the bottom line with him.
He wasn’t ready for prime time with the
Chicago boys.
One of my friends is friendly with Sestak's family. My friend and I are on opposite sides politically, but we can talk about it without killing each other. I asked him yesterday what he thought about the Sestak matter. He swears that Sestak is an honest man - very different from the usual politician. Time will tell.
I wonder how long it will be before Rahm arrives on our shores. I have a feeling it might be a long trip to Israel.
It’s always the coverup that gets them in even deeper...
Sestak was an Admiral. I think most of the top brass anymore are spineless but maybe Sestak is a Clinton setup. Maybe the DNC wants to ditch Obama. I doubt they have the guts.
Another thought — What if Rahm is the fall guy? Obama cuts him loose tomorrow and Rahm is conveniently out of the country. Nothing would surprise me.
Vice-Admiral Sestak might be tough enough to handle it. He didn’t achieve that rank by capitulation.
Plus Rahm is conveniently with his entire family. Hmm. Well, it’s been a long day and maybe my imagination is straying. Forgive me for that.
Part of the problem is informing our elders. They want Walter Cronkite, they get Obama. They just don’t get this idiot. What a shift from 1950 to 2010. They’re having trouble with gays, seat belts, station wagon, national health care. Whatever. My grandma had to deal with phones, cars, and electricity. We are revolting. Government nothing. We don’t want one ounce of it!
WE WILL WIN! WE WILL REMAIN FREE!
He was based here in San Diego for a time.
He was basically asked to leave the Navy.
Getting ready to throw him under the bus?
Exactly.....all the lies are being rehearsed now. We shall see soon enough.
