In reports that appear to have been missed in the flurry of reporting this afternoon on the Obama administration's release of a cursory report on its in-house investigation on the administration's attempted bribery of Rep. Joe Sestak, CNN's John King reported that a White House source told him Barack Obama was kept in the dark about the bribe attempt until "recent days."
Posting on Twitter around 1 p.m. EDT, King reported in three Tweets what his sources were telling him about the unfolding scandal:
WH Source: prez didnt know about rahm/clinton/sestak talks until recent days; GOP pressing for more details.
WH memo lacks important details. Source says COS Emanuel did not check with counsel office before enlisting Clinton. #sestak
Svl other WH aides knew of Emanuel/Clinton effort. WH memo doesn't mention. #sestak
King has not posted to his Twitter account since posting these three reports.
Is someone in the White House trying to create a case for Obama's innocence in the Sestak scandal? It sure looks that way. It's not credible, but it shows an acknowledgement by some in the Obama administration that Obama himself could be in serious trouble if he is found to have been involved in the Sestak bribe attempt.
This is looking more like the Watergate cover-up with each passing hour. (And we know how that ended.)
“Just was does the POS do all day?”
Play basketball and golf.
He surely knew nothing about Blago appointing a new senator either.
Only true line in the article is that Obama is ignorant.
Since he didn't find a way yo "Blame Bush" he's reaching further back in time, and going to "Blame Clinton". That shows he's non-partisan, right? He'll blame any former president rather than take responsibility himself...
Newt made alot of sense last night. We always have to watch what the other hand is doing with these marxist clowns.
But since the job was allegedly offered in exchange for getting out of the Senate race ... is the fact that he stayed in the race and no job was forthcoming some proof of the quid pro quo?
.
So we’re to believe the White House staff free-lances and Obama is not only not in charge, but he doesn’t know what the hell is going on when his own staff is involved?
So either he’s a lying crook or a buffoon clueless to what is taking place right under his nose.
First rule when you’re in deep already, “Quit digging.” These folks are burying themselves.
There, fixed it.
In order for the hive to survive.....
.....The Queen Bee must be protected at any cost.
Uh...Obama ordered the Sestak bribe.
“So either he’s a lying crook or a buffoon clueless to what is taking place right under his nose. “
Neither too palatable, I fear.
Uh, Zer0 is STILL ignorant.
They are throwing out every possible excuse to see what sticks to the wall, even though the excuses are contradictory with one another:
it was an unpaid position, so it didn’t matter that we did it
Clinton did it, not Obama, and you like Clinton better than Obama
Obama didn’t know about it
Secretary of the Navy already appointed
You can’t prove it (wait, did they say this yet, or are we still waiting for this one?)
A judge would be ROTFL by this time if this were done in a courtroom.
;)
It’s Biden,and God help us.....
Bull-freaking-SHIT! And I didn’t sneeze.
Who the hell does he think he is - Richard Nixon?
Barack 0bama - accomplishing in two years what it took Nixon four.
