maybe all this is coming out now to some how lessen the crumbs that are about to drop out of the canary Blago.
Daniel Foster on NRO's corner has this theory:
"Unlike Rep. Sestak, Romanoff hasn't answered questions about a potential job offer. But the fact that administration sources are leaking this to the AP tells me they have 1) figured out their legal and rhetorical strategy in the wake of the Sestak memo and 2) are trying to get out in front of this one."
