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.

You haven’t heard Issa when he rips
many who come before his commitee.
He was investigating ACORN before the popular culture folks
knew what it was.
"within a week of Adm. Michael Mullens swearing-in as chief of naval operations - Sestak was dismissed as deputy chief of naval operations due to a poor command climate, according to the Navy Times."
Do you see a pattern here? Mullen fired him and now "happens" to be the only pro-homosexual on the Joint Chiefs of Staff, and happens to be the decider on tomorrows vote after the Congress.
That sums up Sestak.
Like Wesley Clark he is a Bill Clinton boy
And that thread was from ‘06.
Interesting play out.
Nice catch!
If Obama can throw Sestak under the bus he will go pieces first. Sestak will be the focus of the take-down. It isn’t the first time he has met this.
Actually, Madame caught it. I was doing an off-FR search on Able Danger and how to erase 0 from the net (FR lost a lot of stuff over a few severe server melts) but google cached it.
Madame went through the Able Danger links and found it.
and Obama is losing some of his media suppport along with
some of the pols in his party.
At some point, Obama is going to have to stop
the blame game
All of it is relevant, but Sestak seems to be completely breaking away from Obama. If he was offered a position to stop his campaign against Spector then we have a felony. A whistle-blower from the inside is not what Obama can handle.
The problem is can you prove it?
If both parties deny it took place what actual evidence is there to convict someone?
Yep. We know. He is not pretty nor legitimate.
“I think the president’s a pretty legitimate, you know, person,” he said.
Yep. We know. He is not pretty nor legitimate. “
LOL. You beat me to it. What a line..from Sestak and from you.
They are guilty by their own admissions. It’s called a statement against interest. Sestak stated what happened and no one in the Obama administration has denied it happened; and now Sestak’s brother comes out and admits he was just contacted by the White House.
There is plenty of evidence.
Sestak: “And on further reflection I misunderstood what the White House was saying. In fact they were saying that if the election doesn't go my way they had a job opening for me...”
End of story with no independent evidence. I'm not saying it is right. I just saying this is what to expect.

As the Clintons planned. 0 is the wrong kind of Chicago, for them. He brings too much crazy to the rat powers that be. He’s used up about 94% of the useful idiot he can provide them, delivering the vote for rat power consolidation.
That’s why 0 fears Sarah: he’s been lead to believe his whole life that that America doesn’t know what is good for America. Only wealth re-distributors know what America needs.
Like Rush said today, Thank You George Bush for causing European socialism to collapse.
If Sestak was preparing to adhere to the party line I don’t think he’d be telling everybody about his brother’s conversation with Obama.
Hard to say what the implies.
And the Washington Post,too. I was impressed. :)

Here’s a link that will tell you all you need to know. Weldon was my Congressman. I will not rest until Sestak is FINISHED.
