He said the entire ordeal has grown out of a single quip — answering “yes” and saying he was offered a “high-up job” — to a question posed by longtime Philadelphia TV newsman Larry Kane during a February interview.
“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.”
So what was a serious attempt to derail him was a joke? He’s claiming it was a joke?
It was an attempt to show what Arlen Specter is really like. Anything else is a lie.
It may be that he’s getting worried because failure to report such an offer is a crime as well. Since he didn’t say anything about it for 8 mos. investigators may be looking at HIM as well!
He may have announced that folks within the White House contacted his brother to assure the WH that he is NOT going to roll over and be quiet — I would hazard a guess here that the conversation was a fishing expedition on the part of the WH - trying to figure out what Sestak was going to say/do next?
Some are saying they see a potential cover-up. I’m almost seeing the opposite here. They are waiting for the WH report and playing their cards VERY close to the chest. If the WH report does not match what these two KNOW happened, and may indeed have proof of, then they will let it ALL spill out.
I guess only time will tell. I could definitely be wrong...
