bonnie Posted May 29, 2010 Posted May 29, 2010 May 29, 2010 Sestak cover story starts to unravel Ed Lasky Crafting a cover story that is consistent with awkward facts is hard. Did the best and the brightest miss this? Sestak was not eligible to serve on the Intelligence Advisory Board. Byron York of the Washington Examiner reports: In a little-noticed passage Friday, the New York Times reported that Rep. Joe Sestak was not eligible for a place on the President's Intelligence Advisory Board, the job he was reportedly offered by former President Bill Clinton. And indeed a look at the Board's website reveals this restriction: The Board consists of not more than 16 members appointed by the President from among individuals who are not employed by the Federal Government. Members are distinguished citizens selected from the national security, political, academic, and private sectors. As a sitting member of Congress, Sestak was not eligible for the job. [....] The statement from White House counsel Robert Bauer did not specifically mention the intelligence board, but speaking to reporters Friday, Sestak said of his conversation with Clinton, "At the time, I heard the words ‘presidential board,' and that's all I heard...I heard ‘presidential board,' and I think it was intel." In addition, the Times reported that "people briefed on the matter said one option was an appointment" to the intelligence board. But the White House could not legally have placed Sestak on the board. An already implausible story has become much harder to believe. Quote Everything you do is based on the choices you make.

karl Posted June 1, 2010 Posted June 1, 2010 An already implausible story has become much harder to believe. This seems to matter not one whit to liberals. Maybe they enjoy being gulled. Perhaps they gain some sense of security from the baloney that issues from the mouths of their elected. I can only think of one other use for it. We are papering the outhouse with it. Quote

bonnie Posted June 1, 2010 Author Posted June 1, 2010 This issue is not DEAD. I don't think most care whether there was attempted bribery involved. Sestak will be the one thrown under the bus.He is already waltzing around the mulberry bush.

Woody Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 But they can be required to tell the truth and nothing but the truth before Congress ... whether they like it or not. Quote May we be one so that the world may be won. Christian from the cradle to the grave I believe in Hematology.
Woody Posted June 2, 2010 Posted June 2, 2010 Must I remind you all that even President Clinton was required to tell the truth. Obviously he failed and is now a felon because of his testimony.

bonnie Posted June 2, 2010 Author Posted June 2, 2010 But they can be required to tell the truth and nothing but the truth before Congress ... whether they like it or not. Do you expect much from this congress?I don't. Personally I can see someone be willing to lie to congress rather than testify against a powerful group.
