Puts enormous pressure on Sestak. If he sticks with his story he is crossing both Obama AND Clinton.

Also, Sestak said they offered him a job (paid/unpaid, irrelevant). Obama-Clinton said they were just feeling him out, no concrete offer.

Now we have two very different stories contending. Someone isn't telling the truth.

Will Sestak take the hint and say he "misremembered"?

Did anyone listen to Mark Levin on Friday? He was chortling over the WH statement which emphasized the unpaid nature of the board position dangled to Sestak. Levin said paid/unpaid doesn't matter to the statute, so he suspected the WH lawyers had looked up the wrong statute. All it has to be a thing of "value" which the board position obviously is. So the statement which the WH meant to be an exoneration was actually a confession!

It does leave Sestak in a tight spot, but he was the one dumb enough to say "Yes" when asked if he was offered a job. This is what happens when statutes are so widely broken that everybody begins to forget that a certain activity is still illegal.

It's already rather late in the day for Sestak to play dumb and claim he misunderstood the nature of the conversation, but that is probably his best bet.
