Joe Sestak Job Offer Scandal Returns From the Dead

Bill Clinton is walking back the claim he was the person who relayed the offer of a WH job to Rep. Joe Sestak if he dropped out of the democratic Senatorial primary against former RINO Arlen Specter. Democrats tried to kill this story n late-May. White House Counsel Robert Bauer released a memo claiming that former President Clinton made the job offer at the behest of the White House Chief of Staff.

From the Republican House Oversight Committee:

WBRE-TV has reported that former President Bill Clinton, who until yesterday has not spoken publicly on the controversy, denied any involvement in trying to maneuver Sestak out of the race:

“Clinton denied it to EyeWitness news, saying he never tried to get Sestak out of the race and has never been accused of it.” (WBRE-TV, 8/10/10)

Sestak told a different story on May 28^th:

“Last summer, I received a phone call from President Clinton. During the course of the conversation, he expressed concern over my prospects if I were to enter the Democratic primary for U.S. Senate and the value of having me stay in the House of Representatives because of my military background. He said that White House Chief of Staff Rahm Emanuel had spoken with him about my being on a Presidential Board while remaining in the House of Representatives.”
