All the Republicans on the House Judiciary Committee have joined Rep. Darrell Issa, ranking GOP member of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, in writing a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller over the Joe Sestak affair. The lawmakers urge Mueller to investigate “collusion” and possible obstruction of justice involving the White House, former President Bill Clinton, and Sestak’s brother, who was consulted during the drafting of the new White House report.
“Not surprisingly, the White House’s own report clears White House officials and former President Bill Clinton of wrongdoing,” the lawmakers write. “But assurances by the Obama White House that no laws were broken are like the Nixon White House promising it did nothing illegal in Watergate. Clearly an independent investigation is necessary to determine once and for all what really happened.”
The lawmakers say that the original acts, in which Sestak was offered a position in return for his leaving the Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary race, could violate several federal laws. But they are also worried by the circumstances surrounding the White House’s self-exonerating report. ”We are equally concerned about steps taken by the White House leading up to the issuance of today’s report,” they write, “including a meeting between former President Clinton and President Obama and reports that Rep. Sestak’s brother and campaign manager was consulted on the drafting of the White House report. The apparent collusion between the parties involved may constitute obstruction of justice. We urge the FBI to investigate.”
The Republicans note that Attorney General Eric Holder has already turned down a request from Issa to investigate the matter.

Holder is the Janet Reno for this thug regime.
President Biden: “This is a big F’n deal!”
the chicago way is to leave someone like blago holding the bag.......this is an attempt to exonerate all of them. someone did something and I am NOT buying this story. too many holes in it - too many meetings and phone calls getting their stories straight for their to be nothing there.
I am sure Holder will get right on this.
/sarc
Did I really need that? nope.
Good. Glad to hear they’re not sitting down for this charade.
So what is the GOP going to do when Holder slaps this request down? It’s nice to make these proclamations but action is what is needed. We must keep the dims backpedaling and on defense.
Holder may not pursue charges, but it’s Mueller who calls the shots at the FBI.
Only Matheson voted no. They cant even buy notes competently
If he does we can use it against the 'rats in the fall.
Here's hoping he goes Nixonian. ;-)
“President Biden, here we come!”
In your dreams, in a few days anyone not believing this ridiculous excuse will be demonized. Obama’s media got their explanation - now they will sell it for him.
the parties involved aren't going to say anything incriminating...they now have their story and they'll be sticking with it.
the ONLY potential to make something of this is to put Sestak under oath to see if he repeats the BS story. If he does, it's over.
If he tells the truth...then you can put others under oath...but they'll lie and it'll be a "he said/he said"...and won't be prosecutable.
I'm wondering if it's just better to let this lie and let folks wonder...
There is a massive cover up here and the media , or some of them are not doing much investigating.
shocking I know, they would rather be nice and hope they get an interview wit their messiah.
Or the seat for sale, there is no way he did not know about that either.
This admin is full of corruption and cover ups.
Lying to investigators is what’ll convict them in the end.
The culture of corruption continues.
DRAIN THE SWAMP!
Anti washington, anti establishment,
what do you think about the position that you are in?
He said he wasn’t interested in the “job” because he wanted to work for PA. PA has been “ripped apart”
Do you think this will impact your campaign?
No, they’re worried about “their jobs” the farmer in Potter County…platitudes… pivot to campaign slogan
He felt it wasn’t “right” to talk about details of a conference w/ BJ.
Last saw Rahm March 2009 for some HC thingy at WH… LIE.. i think
he reiterates his “yes” answer about summer 09.. reiterates “PRESIDENTIAL BOARD”….is saying he interrupted the president, and doesn’t recall, foggy memory, maybe intelligence, and says he wasn’t interested,
folks, this guy is struggling, he is really struggling and in a corner.This might (REAL HOPE) be obozo waterloo!
True.
Chicago politics is hard to forget for these Chicago thug clowns and in the end it will bring them down and I’ll be loving it.
Oh dear God please no..just get rid of both of the buffoons!
