Sestak: Brother Collaborating With White House
American Spectator ^ | 5.28.10 @ 11:01AM | By Jeffrey Lord

Posted on 05/28/2010 9:33:08 AM PDT by Behind Liberal Lines

In a stunning admission Thursday, the same day President Obama answered Fox News White House correspondent Major Garrett's question on the issue at the President's first press conference in almost a year, the Washington Post is reporting this morning that Sestak is now admitting:

"They (the White House) got hold of my brother on his cellphone, 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 his brother.

Get that last line: Congressman Sestak "declined to elaborate on his discussions with his brother."

In other words, in yet another startling revelation, Sestak is now confessing the White House is coordinating their story with his brother -- collaborating on the same day the President was insisting to the nation:

"I can assure the public that nothing improper took place."

A joke, as heard today on the Laura Ingraham Radio Show:

Malia Obama: “Daddy, have you plugged the hole yet?”

President Obama: “No Sweetheart, we haven’t been able to shut up Rep. Sestak yet!”

Can’t wait to see how brave Sestak is.

They all know they committed crimes in this job thing ... this is only damage control. I don’t believe a word of it.

To pick Clinton as their point man on this is for the White House to say, “We’re laughing at you while we’re lying to you.”

They’ve brought out the Liar-in-Chief.

I’m thinking that if put under oath, Sestak will invoke the fifth. Since he has personal knowledge of the commission of a felony that he has failed to divulged, he’s in deep kemshi.

But I agree that he’d be well served to always go out as at least a two-plane and remain tactical at all times. ;-]

Since the earlier post there has been more news on this. Fox is discussing it currently on TV. Sestak has now stated he was offered a non-paid position. Kelly had the specific wording of the law on screen...Rahm Emmanuel has clearly committed a crime given what the WH is admitting and what Sestak is stating. there are 2 laws with different thresholds that are at issue...the higher one is bribery, which is harder to prove, but the lesser pretty clearly appears to have been violated.

Geez, I guess their logic is get as many people involved in this to confuse the masses - I bet it works and NOTHING will be done about it.

The "justice department" has little to do with justice...so I don't expect anything to be done. But it does appear a crime has taken place given Sestak's statement after today's revelations that it was Rahm Emmanuel who asked Clinton to speak with Sestak about an appointment.

The WH doesn't talk, to whom did he speak?

I think the fifty cent word for it is; “misprison of a felony”?

Sestak kept his story short and incomplete, once he realized he had displayed foot-in-mouth syndrome. And he has steadfastly remained vague and sparse in all accounts of the “offer” since then.

Except the first thing he said was that he'd had a conversation with a White House official -- Bill Clinton can in no way be characterized as such. He also never described it as he was told by his lawyer brother about the bribe, he specifically said it came from a WH official.

Doesn’t say anything about it being a paid position.

Exactly — and the idea that any position in the WH has no value unless it is a paid position is foolish. It has value, regardless a salary may not be attached.

You misspelled "Just Us Department".
