Top Democrat [Senate Majority Whip Dick Durbin] wants answers from Sestak

I will admit to you that while watching Jindal’s press conference on the oil spill, Dick Durbin was there and when he spoke he specifically called out the Administration.

"If he doesn't do so, this cloud is going to hang over his head. His Republican opponent can rightly ask: "who is Sestak protecting?" He can also ask: "Did it really happen, or did Sestak just make it up for political gain?""

I'm having a hard time imagining what motive Sestak would have had to make up this allegation, which is why I'm inclined to believe him. But if it was just a verbal, "ears only," offer, he'd have no proof. Maybe the Dems already have been assured that's the case, so they are pretending to be forthright in asking for proof they know doesn't exist. It will make Sestak look bad, but they'd rather lose his seat than have the White House involved in a potentially impeachable scandal.

A congressman on FOX today was saying that this was an impeachable offense. We can only pray.

[freekitty]

Sure he does; so he plan more coverup.

What did the president extort and when did he extort it?

[Danae]

Funny, they didn’t accept such an excuse when railroading Scooter Libby now did they?

Its the COVERUP that KILLS.

"At some point, I think Congressman Sestak needs to make clear what happened," Durbin told reporters at the Capitol.

Hey Sestack, Vice Admiral (Ret.), act like a man and let the communists have it!

Unless you're a coward, a liar, a communist or all of the above!

Only pray is right. This communist Congress will never even think about it.

“when he spoke he specifically called out the Administration.”

That is good news:)

[klimeckg]

Maybe they’ll find him somewhere with a note, or maybe mOron soetoro will send him on a plane trip to Croatia if you know what I mean. ;-)

Yep.. remember, Rahm is known for having conversations while naked in the shower. (shudder!)

I agree, if enough Dems realize they're going down I believe some will turn on the Savior.

[Deb]

The Democrats will push "for answers" and refer it to the Ethics Committee where it will sit until after November. After November they will find "no violations".

The End.

Kinda looks like they are going to trash Sestak and then replace him with a viable candidate at the eleventh hour.

[Servant of the Cross]

I see you have mastered their playbook. (Exhibit A: Massa "Probe") ...

"did you say probe?"

[b4its2late]

It’s probably all for show....

[Deb]

You’re so bad.

Does this mean Sestak will have to say that he “misspoke”?
