Clinton's Job Offer Illegal

You would think that given months to work on it, the Obama Regime could have come up with something more believable than the tale they told yesterday to cover their bribe offer to Joe Sestak. Not only does their story conflict with previously known information, but Joe Sestak was not legally eligible to serve on that advisory board.

The White House admitted Friday that it used former President Bill Clinton to determine whether Representative Joe Sestak would drop out of the contentious Pennsylvania Democratic Senate primary race with Sen. Arlen Specter in return for an unpaid position in the administration.

The only problem: Sestak, as a sitting member of Congress, was never even eligible to accept the advisory post.

Speaking on the Capitol steps yesterday afternoon, Sestak said that he “heard the words ‘presidential board’” during his brief conversation with Clinton. “It was about either intelligence or defense.”

But numerous sources have pointed out that Sestak would have been ineligible to serve on the President’s Intelligence Advisory Board. According to the Board’s official Web site:

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.
