Clinton Denies White House Version of Jobsgate Scandal

Issa pounces after Ex-President denies he tried to get Sestak out of Senate race.

Uh-oh.

Former President Bill Clinton, campaigning this week for Pennsylvania Democratic Senate nominee Joe Sestak, has been caught on video contradicting the Obama White House official statement on the Jobsgate scandal. 

Not once. Not twice. But three times.

The scandal involved a February allegation by Sestak that the Obama White House offered him a job if he would back off a challenge to incumbent Democratic Senator Arlen Specter. After months of silence and controversy swirling around the issue, the White House was forced to admit it had in fact not only offered a position to Sestak but offered a choice of three to Colorado Senate candidate Andrew Romanoff. Romanoff was preparing a bid against incumbent Democratic Senator Michael Bennet, a race he lost to Bennet on Tuesday.

California Congressman Darrell Issa, the ranking member of the House Oversight and Government Reform Committee, has seen the tape and immediately pounced, pointedly noting there seemed to be "three sides" to the Jobsgate story.

First, the background.

On Tuesday, August 10, the former President was in Wilkes-Barre in Northeastern Pennsylvania to campaign for Sestak, who defeated Specter in the May primary and is now in a tight race against Republican nominee Pat Toomey.

Working the crowd at the Sestak event, Clinton is questioned by reporter Doug Currin of WBRE-TV, an NBC affiliate. Here's the clip, with the words from the hard-to-hear tape on screen. I've reprinted below.

REPORTER: Why did you campaign for Sestak if you tried to get him out of the race?

In the din, the reporter shouts the question a second time at Clinton, who is standing but a few feet away:

REPORTER: Why did you campaign for Sestak if you were in line with getting him out of the race?

CLINTON: I wasn't. I didn't try to get him out of the race.

REPORTER: For Arlen Specter?

CLINTON: I didn't try to get him out of the race.

REPORTER: You did not?

As well as that of everyone in this corrupt administration and all Democrats everywhere. How can they look us in the eye about anything?!

The cock--Bill--did crow thrice.

He denied he even knew the man--Obama--and that other man-Sestak!

But this cock never repents. Nor does his
rooster Obama.

"Ruling class" came from an article written on this site a couple of weeks ago from a professor from Boston Univ. who wrote a scathing indictment on the fools that run this country. It is the ruling class v. the country class--very telling.

Excellent! Too bad you didn't copyright that term. Could be worth a fortune! I've been searching for the best descriptor of our brave, hardworking media outlets. RCM! I'm going to start using this... Of course after Michelle's regal visit to Spain, perhaps the "Royal Media" will do as well.

Texdad| 8.13.10 @ 10:25AM

My thoughts exactly Mimi. The way this sleazeball parses words, you know he has managed to twist in his sick mind that he is not lying.

To his thinking it could be that he offered Sestak a job elsewhere and he never specifically asked him to leave the race.

It is difficult to tell which of all these upstanding leaders is the most honest here, but I detect that somewhere in the future there will be a Nobel or something similar awarded to all three for integrity and magnanimous statesmanship - unless that year, Al Gore is awarded the prize for inventing the internet.

Clinton nee Publius| 8.13.10 @ 9:55AM

Jim Messina is the man who offered the bribes. He is the Deputy White House Chief Of Staff For Operations. He reports to the White House Chief Of Staff (Rahm Emanuel) and the President Of The United States (Barack Obama). Jim Messina is an educated man who has been through many elections and worked in politics his entire life. It is not likely to assume he woke up one morning last year and suddenly decided to throw away his career, throw away his family, throw away his personal fortune and possible throw away his personal freedom by going out on a limb and offering a bribe to Joe Sestak. The thought of him later doing this all on his own in the Romanoff case is completely absurd. In both cases, the offer of the jobs are felony crimes and each case is a separate count that carries 5 years in federal prison. Mr. Messina is facing 10 years in federal prison, so it does not follow that this otherwise intelligent man would do this - not once, but twice - without someone telling him to do this and telling them he would be shielded from prosecution.

That means there are more people involved in this operation and that makes it a criminal conspiracy. Conspiracy carries another 5 years in jail for each count, so whoever told him to do this is facing 10 years in jail and now Mr. Messina is facing a potential criminal liability of 20 years in jail.

The White House Press Secretary (Robert Gibbs) was asked to answer the Sestak revelations every week for a period of months and refused to answer the question - finally saying the White House would have no comment. This means Mr. Gibbs is involved in the matter and is actively involved in preventing the truth from being known. That makes him a co-conspirator and makes him open to the charge of obstruction of justice and the charge of perjury. Mr. Gibbs has criminal liability in this matter. The relevant question to ask here is: who told Mr. Gibbs what answers to give? Mr. Gibbs reports to Mr. Emanuel and Mr. Obama.

The White House released its own version of the facts when it said Bill Clinton made the offer. This has now been contested by Bill Clinton. Mr. Emanuel, Mr. Obama and Mr. Gibbs all made statements and/or took actions to further the premise that Mr. Clinton made the offer in an offhand way and it was all legal. How did they know it was legal? A lawyer in the White House must have come up with the opinion, but the opinion was based upon a conspiracy. This means everyone who was involved with the Clinton statement now has criminal liability attached to their actions that include conspiracy, obstruction of justice and perjury. This includes the President.

So at this point we know that the White House has made deliberate false statements to end the controversy regarding Sestak and Romanoff. Someone is involved in the conspiracy - this isn't one person acting as a lone ranger. Mr. Obama says Mr. Clinton was told to communicate the White House's desires and that is untrue.

This can no longer be ignored. There are multiple counts of criminal conduct that can be presented to a grand jury for all parties involved. This means the only resolution is a special prosecutor and this will have to be done in the light of day just as it was with Clinton. Unlike Clinton, the record here stands to damn the participants in the most telling manner. The only question is whether or not it will go like Nixon where each participant eventually rolled over on everyone else, or if the participants will fall on their swords to protect Mr. Obama. Yet I don't think there is room for Mr. Obama to avoid the bar of justice here. He put himself on the record and Mr. Clinton's admissions are extremely damning in nature.

Adirondacker59| 8.13.10 @ 1:11PM

That Bill Clinton should be regarded by anyone on either end of the political spectrum as an elder statesman after his White House trysts with a 22-year old subordinate (to name just one impropriety) is ludicrous. That he should have any credibility after his pathetic logic-chopping denials of that relationship is equally ludicrous. However, as the Republican Party’s experience with investigating and prosecuting these improprieties bears witness, Republicans must be very careful in selecting the improprieties that they choose to investigate if they regain control of the House. If they deliver the House to Republicans in the fall, voters will not expect the House to spend its time looking backward and investigating, but in moving forward with a conservative agenda. .

Clinton nee Publius| 8.13.10 @ 2:20PM

Careful won't matter. The moment it starts it will be opposed with the race card politics that are the hallmark of liberalism in the post-racial regime.

They will have to do it or pay the consequences in 2012 for having failed to do it. Either way, Obama is toast.

drgene| 8.14.10 @ 3:09PM

I sure hope this legal analysis of a conspiracy, with a band of co-conspirators is correct. Surely this
would be an impeachable offence on the part
of Lord-above-the-law-Obama.

Then again, maybe, just maybe, Bill the Lip
is telling the truth: he never talked to Sestak(maybe a staff member) and never
about a quid pro quo(only a vague Obama
will love you if you do what he wants)?
That would mean Bill is in the clear, but the
Obama gang is not:they made the contact!

Either hypothesis makes Obama guilty
of criminal conspiracy-to commit an
act-explicitly banned by fedeal law.

Now That would be Hope and Change we can believe in: the exile of Obama!!
by federal law.

George S| 8.13.10 @ 10:30AM

No. We want to believe Clinton. His artful denial serves him two purposes: one, it deflects the crime away from him. He did not try to get Sestak out of the race, he simply was the go-between (notice he cut off after the question of meeting with Sestak) to the White House, the actual perps. Second, by denying, he is now making the White House defend its statement, obviously made to deflect the blame from itself (hey, we were just thinking aloud -- it was Clinton who suggested dropping out). Clinton's given himself cover and got payback against being called a racist during the primaries.

Believe Clinton, he's the best impeachment witness Issa has so far.

InLineFour| 8.13.10 @ 1:36PM

That, and he wants his wife on the Dem ticket for POTUS in 2012.

Pete| 8.13.10 @ 10:34AM

Liberals give each other passes for this kind of stuff all the time. In their world, "presenting job options" and "not trying to get him out of the race" are not inconsistent statements. Since one sentence doesn't match the other exactly, there's nothing to see here. He COULD have been offering Sestak a second job, you see, or just talking in generalities about other jobs that exist in the universe. Ahahahahahahaha (Clinton laugh)

Melvin| 8.13.10 @ 10:35AM

Ahhhh, yes Hillary 2012, then we will see the bulbous nose one every single day on every single channel.

What did Tony Montana say in the movie *Scarface*: " I always tell the truth...even when I'm lying."

Bill...your blue dress is showing.

Redstateboy| 8.13.10 @ 11:39AM

minor correction... it is: "I always tell the truth, even when I lie."

would love to see an investigation of this one.. if the roles were reversed and this was a Republican Admin. doing this?? The Dems would be on it like White-on-Rice and Everyone knows it..

Clinton nee Publius| 8.13.10 @ 2:21PM

I don't think a Republican would have the temerity to try this nonsense. Not after Nixon. Not after Clinton. But I take your point. We would already be at the appeal stage of the conviction if John McCain were President.

jrjr| 8.13.10 @ 4:27PM

John McShame president? If he were president he would be trying to slime his way out of committing to anything. He would be for it, then against it. Just look at all of the legislation he proposed and got enacted to keep the Mexican invasion out of his state while protecting the little people he is supposed to represent. What has he done in the House/Senate since 1982 to stop the invasion? Any US citizens out of work in Arizona?

BirdGirl| 8.13.10 @ 11:54AM

Why did Bill Clinton ever get involved in the Obama mess anyway? It's a wobbly administration about to go off the rails, why get involved with their overheated machine? They're out of control outlaws riding a runaway train toward a washed out bridge shooting wildly at anything that moves. It'll be the messiest autopsy in history if the next president chooses to pursue it. Which he won't.

What do you mean by "the cock crowed" in responding to anything related to Bill?

TW in SC| 8.14.10 @ 12:19PM

Has to do with Peter denying Jesus and that he will do so"three times before the cock crows"

Somehow down through time, it has been morphed into the phrase, "the cock crowed three times as Peter denied Jesus" in colloquial understanding. Or something like that.

hunter| 8.13.10 @ 12:03PM

Why would anyone belive anything a impeached president had to say, especially so because the impeachment was for lying. Not fratenizing with the interns, not stealing (though not disproven, as of yet). Clinton will be the poster child for what caused the ruination of our once great country. Most people laugh or snicker about his lying antics, don't be fooled by this court jester for Obomba, he is a lying viper, and his lies are as venomous. Taking the heat for his master!

Mojo Risin| 8.13.10 @ 12:33PM

Maybe the bulbous-nosed syphilitic is finally telling the truth, due to his lapsing, rotationally infected memory. Maybe this whole transaction involved cigars, and that's something he was reluctant to originally talk about. Yep, purely a memory issue...

Clinton nee Publius| 8.13.10 @ 2:23PM

It doesn't matter if Mr. Clinton is telling the truth. What matters is that the White House is offering a defense that differs from the facts that have been established so far and the participants keep changing their stories. That tells you there is something criminal at the heart of this mess...

Mojo Risin| 8.13.10 @ 3:01PM

Yeah, you're spot-on right!

David| 8.13.10 @ 1:09PM

Clinton is going to explain it away by claiming that "It is true what I said: I wasn't trying to get him out of the race. What I was doing was trying to get him into a job in the administration. There, that settles it."

Crustacean| 8.13.10 @ 1:23PM

Mr. Lord--

I regret having to point out that in the transcription provided, Clinton does not deny being recruited by the White House to get Sestak out of the race. He does deny performing the task for which he may or may not have been recruited.

What this shows is either: 1) Individuals in the White House are lying about having recruited Clinton, which almost certainly means they, rather than Clinton, approached Sestak with offers of a bribe; or 2) Those same individuals did in fact recruit Clinton and he stiffed them, which still leaves them guilty of attempting to use a third party to convey their felonious offer.

What's nice about this is it doesn't matter whether Clinton is lying or not. Either way, it is overwhelmingly likely that persons in the White House committed serious crimes. If the White House lied about recruiting Clinton, that might make things marginally worse for them, but the core concept--the apparent offer of a bribe--is unaffected by Clinton's veracity or lack thereof.

Margie| 8.13.10 @ 1:35PM

But wait but wait! He said he wasn't even ACCUSED of the crime. You all know that when a Leftist merely accuses one of something it means they're guilty. Ya know, it's the seriousness of the charge, not the nature of the evidence. So in his mind as long as he hasn't been accused he hasn't done it. Oh, the weird psychology of the corrupt Leftist mind.

Kenneth E. MacAlister Jr.| 8.13.10 @ 1:37PM

Unfortunately, nothing will come of all this. The Democrat wagons are already circled & the Republican "braves" (yeah right!) keep shooting themselves with their own arrows because they can't see straight. No cajones either. Truth is only important when a spineless Republican gets caught. As Michael Smerconish has said many times on his pathetic radio program of Obamessiah worship, "the American people expect more from Republicans, so they hold them responsible for their actions. They also expect Democrats to behave in the depraved manner they do so they give them a pass." The only useful & truthful words Mr. Smerconish has uttered in recent years. He's right, but until this mentality changes expect the double standards between Rebublicans & Democrats to continue to exist. Republicans who break the rules will be run out of town by Democrats & the Ruling Class Media (thank you Brian) & Democrats who do likewise will shrug their shoulders & continue on as the Ruling Class Media make lame excuses for them. Until the R.C.M. are neutralized & their influence in politics wiped out, nothing will change for the better in American politics. Charlie Rangel & Maxine Waters will die in the halls of Congress before they are held responsible for their actions. Same goes for B.O. (he stinks!) & Fondle-Me-Bubba. Laws & rules do not pertain to Democrats.

Anyone who has followed Clinton observed from the start that beginning with College and proceding with his entire political life he made a practice of denial. If you want an early picture of the Clintons see the DVD " The Clinton Chronicles" and then follow his life in the White house. Nixon when compared to Clinton comes out looking like a saint, but Clinton was popular and Nixon wasnt so Clinton got a pass. And Hillary was right in the middle of some pretty good scaldals herself but our voters are ready to put her in office, so American voters knock yourself out , you deserve it.

Careful listener| 8.13.10 @ 4:31PM

I believe several comments are comparing this episode to the wrong Clinton scandal. This is not "I did not have sex..." this is "I did not inhale".

People could observe Clinton smoking marijuana, but they could not observe what was actually taking place in his mouth. Thus, he cannot be contradicted when he says he didn't do anything wrong. He may have been seen with a joint in his mouth, but nobody could see if the smoke entered his lungs.

Such is the case here too. The White House may have asked him to speak with Sestak; Clinton may have spoken with Sestak; he may have mentioned that the White House had an idea; Sestak may have interpreted the meaning as an offer. But, if Clinton did not actually ask Sestak to get out of the race and Clinton did not actually say that the White House idea was an offer, then 1) no laws are broken and 2) nobody has told any lies.

Since you cannot prove what was actually said in the conversation (he may have said, "I think this is a bad idea Joe, but...) then you cannot link the White House all the way through to Sestak. Case closed. Sorry, but that's it.

Statements from a known (liar) lawyer are known to be twisted, stretched and distorted. That goes for the former lawyer (and current liar) Obama and the disbarred Clinton. By the way the two don't even like each other to say the least. WJC would cross the street to dis Baraq.

May I cut to the chase with this one? For all the perfectly deserved contempt visited on the Republican establishment by conservatives, the Republicans of all stripes undeniably have this much going for them: by and large, when they get out of the limelight, they stay out of the limelight.

Yes, I know you all hate Dubya for his intermittently oafish performance, but stop and think for a second: Is Dubya now behaving like Carter or Clinton?

Don't forget the DIGNITY of being conservative.
