Here’s more from the link:

“Something happened last July, literally, hardly even remember it,” Sestak said of the offer. “All of a sudden, in this interview, someone asked a question . . . and I answered it up front. But I immediately said the same thing I said to you and haven’t deviated: Look, let’s move on, the rest is politics.”

Congressional Republicans have refused to move on. Seven Senate Republicans on the Judiciary Committee wrote Attorney General Eric Holder on Wednesday to request a further review of the legal implications. The offering of high-level jobs to members of Congress is a routine matter — Vice President Biden, Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel, Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, Interior Secretary Ken Salazar and Labor Secretary Hilda Solis were serving in Congress when Obama offered them jobs — but Republicans said that a job offer designed primarily to impact the outcome of an election crosses a line.
“If true, it’s a crime,” said Sen. John Cornyn (R-Tex.), chairman of the National Republican Senatorial Committee and one who signed the Holder letter. The Justice Department has, so far, declined other requests to investigate or an appointment for a special prosecutor.

Sestak declined to say whether the alleged job offer was inappropriate and defended Obama’s integrity. “I think the president’s a pretty legitimate, you know, person,” he said.

Joe, you'll have to man up now and tell the truth.

Anyone know about this guy's Navy career ? I read that Arlen Sphincter was alluding that Sestak, a three star admiral, was fired by the Chief of Naval Operations for poor job performance.

Perhaps Obama will spin that Sestak has mental issues. /s
