Karl Rove Agrees that Sestak, White House Story on Job Offer is “Not Plausible” – Video 5/31/10

Here is video of Karl Rove saying he does not believe the story put out by the White House and Rep. Joe Sestak to explain away the controversy over a “job offer” made to Sestak by the White House. Rove said it is “not plausible’ to believe the White House – through former President Bill Clinton – offered a non-paying appointment to an Executive Branch Policy Group when they knew that appointment would have to be approved by Congress. Sestak is a Congressman, and would be ineligible for such an appointment as a member of Congress. Rove said the White House, Bill Clinton and Sestak would all be aware of that fact.

In other words, Rove is saying they are covering up the real story. Something else was offered to Sestak, and they don’t want the truth to get out. That’s what Newt Gingrich said in a clip played in this video. Gingrich said their story is not believable, and that the White House must have reached out to Sestak and convinced him to “take the fall” to get them out of this trouble.
