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."

Sounds like an effort at deniablity. If they talk to the brother they know he'll talk to Sestak, but they can say they didn't have direct contact.

Well, I hope Toomey keeps his mouth shut for now. Let’s let Sestak shoot himself in the foot. This whole story about his brother and Bill Clinton is another BIG FAT LIE!! Everyone KNOWS who offered a job to Sestak...it was Rahm Emanuel!

Yes. “Coordination” is the operative word. Funny how it’s never necessary when everyone’s telling the truth.

They told him that if he doesn’t say he misremembered the incident he will be crossing Obama AND Clinton. Who could sustain THAT pressure?

The most “improper thing” in the history of the United States took place on January 20, 2009.

I agree wholeheartedly. Sestak is deep in the weeds at this point. Any message his campaign wished to deliver is being drowned out by this controversy. He will be asked about this scandal at every campaign appearance. No sense in Toomey changing the subject.

It’s too bad Jack Bauer retired this week. The thought of him punching Obama in the face screaming “TELL ME THE NAME!” is very appealing.

Sestak had better stay out of Ft. Marcy Park.

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.

This has given the WH room to maneuver towards multiple alibi scenarios, which is precisely what is going on. This is shades of a Watergate-eske cover up. The operative question, then, is who will be the administration’s “Deepthroat”, given that the MSM is trying its best avoid him/her?

Oh, OK. Well, now that THAT'S all cleared up we can go on to the next bizarre occurrence in the Obama Regime. How much longer before The Amateur Hour at The White House is over?

Spoke to the white house on his cell phone. It means it was taped by the wh at the very least..... And I wonder if that old couple, that followed Gingrich around and tapped into his cell phone conversation, were near lucky enough to be around Richard Sestak. I doubt it.

When the questioning begins, Pentangeli cannot betray Michael in front of his brother from the old country. He suddenly develops a case of complete forgetfulness, contradicting previous sworn statements of his own made to Senator Questadt: "I never know no Godfather. I got my own family, Senator." He admits to making up "a lot of stuff about Michael Corleone" because that's what the FBI agents wanted him to do, but it's "all lies - everything." After Pentangeli's double-cross of the feds, Michael is excused and the case is dismissed.

The Godfather Part II = Obama's Chicago Mafia
