Byron York, Washington Examiner:

GOP Asks FBI to Investigate ‘Collusion,’ Obstruction of Justice in Sestak Case
Byron York, Washington Examiner:

Darrell Issa, ranking GOP member of the House Committee on Government Oversight and Reform, in writing a letter to FBI Director Robert Mueller over the Joe Sestak affair. The lawmakers urge Mueller to investigate “collusion” and possible obstruction of justice involving the White House, former President Bill Clinton, and Sestak’s brother, who was consulted during the drafting of the new White House report.

Clearly an independent investigation is necessary to determine once and for all what really happened.”

Meanwhile, Bill Clinton did not answer questions (see Tolbert Report video). And as mentioned previously, keep watching Darrell Issa. (I wonder if he'll be offered anything.) He is the point man, apparently very willingly. Track Byron York here.
