White House Counsel Robert Bauer has released a ridiculous attempt at a defense for the Obama administration’s trying to bribe Joe Sestak to pull out of the Senate primary in Pennsylvania. In the memo, Bauer tries a nifty little sleight of hand. He focuses on the fact that Sestak was not offered a position as […]
The 2 Best in the West
