The list, ping

[Carley]

How many months did it take to come up with this bullcrap.

[wastedyears]

Did anybody expect anything else?

[Cementjungle]

Oh, OK, so I guess that clears it all up.

and that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel only worked through former President Bill Clinton to discuss "options of service on a Presidential or other Senior Executive Branch Advisory Board."

The law says directly or indirectly and says that a position is enough - it doesn't have to be a paying job - when the White House is making an offer to affect an election. The memo says no, but the trail of evidence says yes.

"that the allegations of improper conduct rest on factual errors and a lack of basis in the law."

Is this similar to "No controlling authority"?

[hershey]

Oh, okay. Nothing to see here. Let’s all go back to sleep while the dems and Zero continue looting and pillaging.

The WH memo doesn't refute anything and as a matter of fact, it verifies the WH offered Sestak a job to drop out of the race which is a crime.

[ncfool]

Nothing here to see! move along. The Rat’s have covered their trail.

When did Jake Tapper go brain dead?

How would an unpaid appointment to an obscure Presidential committee be an incentive to forego a run for the U. S. Senate? “Gee, just what I hoped for: an uncompensated seat on a nowhere committee. Possibly more work for no money.”

[Huskrrrr]

It's now officially a cover-up.

[freekitty]

Does anyone believe this administration will tell the truth?

[Minn]

Amazing how it turned out to be a supposed unpaid job.

[Hoffer Rand]

You have to give the journalist credit. Must have been quite the feat to write this article with his face planted so firmly against Rahm Emmanual’s backside.

[DallasDeb]

and a lack of basis in the law

Didn't Algore Hiss say something like that when he accepted bribes from Buddhist nuns? Something like, "there is no controlling authority" ? Somebody correct me, if my quote is wrong.

[Uncle Hal]

This whole explanation does not pass the smell test. Serving on an “Advisory Board” is not a job. Sestak says he was offered a job. We need a better excuse than this.

[DallasDeb]

Rahm Emmanuel—Hey, it’s the Chicago way! It must be illegal.

[TigersEye]

In a memo released to the press, White House counsel Robert Bauer says no White House staff made such a proposition to Sestak and that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emmanuel only worked through former President Bill Clinton to discuss "options of service on a Presidential or other Senior Executive Branch Advisory Board."

That sounds like a 'confirmation' not a 'refutation.'

[dalight]

Levin is laying out how this memo is a direct admission with motive and an accused official.

[Mouton]

It must have really irked der Leader to have to beg Clinton to fall on the granade. I wonder what he offered him?

Funny how this works almost completely into the Blago negotiations. All straw men. Just like in Goodfellows, Pauli became so paranoid, no one could speak directly to him, only through one trusted minion.
