Veteran Journalist Who Broke Sestak Job Offer Story Recounts Interview on Hannity – Video 6/1/10

Here is video of Sean Hannity interviewing veteran Philadelphia newsman Larry Kane, the man who broke the Sestak Job Offer story with an interview he did of Joe Sestak on February 20 of this year. Here’s what Kane asked Sestak that got the entire story going:

KANE: “Were you ever offered a Federal Job to get out of this race?”
SESTAK: “Yes.”
KANE: “Was it Navy Secretary?”
SESTAK: “No Comment.”
KANE: “Was there a job offered by the White House?”
SESTAK: “Yes. Uh, Someone offered.”
KANE: “It was big, right?”
SESTAK: “It was . . . something I won’t comment on” (hard to distinguish his words)

Kane immediately contacted the White House for comment, and 15 hours later they called him back and told him he could say on background that Sestak’s claim of a job offer “is not true.”

Kane’s sources inside the Democrat Party had told him before the interview that pressure had been put on Sestak to get out of the race against Specter.

Kane also said there is no question that the job offered him was a “high-ranking” job, which would not line up with what the White House is now claiming Bill Clinton offered to Sestak for them.
