Why can't it be both?

So... in the Whitehouse's official story they offered Sestak a job that he couldn't take anyway. Yeah... that'll defelct questions of coverup and primary quid pro quo.


The Republicans reply:

This is just another strike against the Administration’s story. Why bring in a big gun, like former President Clinton, to offer a meager job to Sestak that he wasn’t even eligible to accept? Either the administration is completely incompetent or there is a cover up. That’s why I’ve called for the FBI to get involved. We’re clearly not going to get a straight story from Sestak or the White House without an official investigation.

Emphasis added, and why can't it be both?

Remember, this is all over rumors that the Whitehouse tried to bribe Sestak to drop out of a primary to ensure Specter's victory. That's... just sad.
