Able Danger Blog:

“When we had a blogger conference call with Weldon in March, he joked he had pissed off every major intelligence agency now. So if he was found at the bottom of a pool some day we would have to start a blog site to his legacy. I guess he was not far off. Three weeks before election day, it’s payback time. Mary Jo White, Jack Cloonan, and Jamie Gorelick, must still have some pull over at the bureau after all.

Obviously this guy still has pull there, too. From the Sestak campaign site:

‚ÄúI will not make a single stop in this campaign season that means more to me than this one ‚Äî not one,‚Äù Clinton told a crowd of nearly 900 at a rally for Joseph Sestak at Valley Forge Military Academy.”

Ok, I know Weldon’s getting the smirk from the MSM and even some conservative bloggers over his “conspiracy theory” about the FBI investigation. Yet I have to admit after watching him being interviewed on FOX tonight his demeanor and answers lend to the fact that there may well be something underfoot.

First off Weldon wears white socks with loafers for crying out loud. The guys a do-gooder of the first degree and has done nothing over the last twenty years or so but piss off the IC and the FBI and quite royally the Clinton Administration with his dogged persuit of fixing our security laspes.

I told everyone last year that this might happen, as I was getting intel from sources that a LOT of people in positions were getting nervous, especially about the Able Danger story. Although a recent report by the DOD found no evidence for the assertians behind Weldon’s claims, many, including myself, know that the full story may never be known.

It’s no secret that the Clinton machine was revved up with Bill’s composure failure on Fox News Sunday last month. There are all the earmarks of a full scale assault from his camp.

Of course six warrants from the FBI is a substantial detraction from this theory, but there is this one thing from the AP article on the raids from yesterday:

“”What I find ironic, if there is an investigation, is that no one would tell me until three weeks before the election,” Weldon said at an appearance in Media. “This incident was 2 1/2 years ago.”

Weierman confirmed that the six raids included Karen Weldon’s home in Philadelphia; the Springfield home of Charles Sexton, her business partner and the congressman’s close friend; and the office of their company, Solutions North America, in Media.

Federal investigators are looking into whether Weldon used his influence to help the company secure lobbying contracts worth $1 million from foreign clients, two people familiar with the inquiry told The Associated Press.

Weldon, a 10-term Republican from the Philadelphia suburbs and vice chairman of the House Armed Services Committee, is being challenged by Democrat Joe Sestak in the Nov. 7 election. Last week, the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee mailed fliers to voters in Weldon’s district accusing Karen Weldon of getting help from her father on lobbying projects.

Weldon said his daughter received no special consideration because of him.

“I’ve never helped my daughter get anything. My kids are qualified on their own,” Weldon said.

The congressman also raised questions about the need for a Justice Department investigation, noting that the House Ethics Committee looked into his daughter’s contracts soon after The Los Angeles Times reported on them in February 2004. He said he has cooperated fully, turning over 150 pages of documents and answering the committee’s questions.”

Which is absolutely correct. In fact investigators – from what I can gather – were completely satisfied with what they saw at the time. Something drastically changed in the last couple of weeks, and the former scenerio is looking like a least the most plausible at this time.

Another interesting component at this is the radical socialist group CREW which filed the original ethics complaint back in 2004. Notice how much CREW has been in the news lately? More than just a curious development in itself and worthy of it’s own investigation.
