Secretive on Sestak
Gibbs: 'I'd refer you to the memo'
By MATT NEGRIN | 06/01/10 5:50 PM

White House press secretary Robert Gibbs said Tuesday he could
“understand” if reporters thought he was responsible for keeping them in
the dark about an administration position offered to Rep. Joe Sestak (D-
Pa.) — but he had no immediate answers for reporters about details of 
the deal. 

A reporter asked Gibbs why he wouldn’t discuss the offer over many 
months, even as the administration contended that nothing inappropriate 
had taken place. “I’d have to ask counsel for a better answer,” Gibbs 
said. 

The press secretary also demurred on whether offers made to Sestak in 
June and July of 2009 — as mentioned in the memo of explanation offered 
by White House counsel Robert Bauer — were made by former President Bill 
Clinton and whether there were multiple approaches to Sestak, as opposed 
to the single phone call he described. “Whatever’s in the memo is 
accurate,” Gibbs said, adding that he would “check.” 

Gibbs said the advisory post at issue “was an unpaid position and didn’t 
constitute a lot of what you hear,” but he didn’t say precisely what the 
position offered was. 

Pressed on how a widely discussed scenario — where Sestak serving on the 
president’s Intelligence Advisory Board could have been possible while 
Sestak continued to serve in the House, which is forbidden by the 
board’s rules — Gibbs said simply, “I’d refer you to the memo.”
