The 911 Commission, and certain elements in the FBI and CIA feared and hated Curt Weldon and conspired to bring him down. The CIA didn’t want the ABLE DANGER data mining program to succeed because it would have “stolen their thunder”.
Look up ABLE DANGER, MOHAMMED ATTA, and Jamie Gorelick of the 9/11 Coimmission, the very person responsible for the FBI and CIA not sharing information (she was an assistant or deputy AG undere Clinton) then sitting in judgment on what went wrong on 9/11.
What a mess!
Good people’s careers were ruined by CYA Democrats, RINOs and bureaucrats. Lt. Col. Shaffer, Philpott and others over Able Danger.
Alas, Weldon saw most Democrats and even Republicans around him getting rich by funnelling earmark money to wives (Obama’s million dollar earmark to a hospital tripled his wife’s salary at that hospital) husbands, , et al and thought he could do the same for his daughter. But Republican voters, especially in Pennsylvania, won’t put up with that kind of corruption.
Alas, once he lost the election his website with priceless information and links on Able Danger has been taken down, but there is still a lot of information on Wikipedia and elsewhere (just google ABLE DANGER).
As to Russia, they had been our friends through the 90′s and it is thanks to Clinton’s urging of a Forgive and Forget policy towards the communists that they have wrested control once more. Bush was naive towards Putin but so was the press and it remains so till this day. When Putin remained on vacation and allowed 100 or more submariners to die rather than allow Americans to rescue them, then I knew who and what he was.
Weldon is a patriot and would never have willingly spied for the Russians.. The work he did against the Jihad was very effective, perhaps too much so (made others look bad ) and that was his downfall.
I am not a conspiracy theorist, but having gained an insight into the CIA from the book CHARLIE WILSON’S WAR I noted that the CIA heroes responsible for winning that war, Gust Avrakotos and Michael Vickers were not promoted and left while others who came later got the promotions and the kudos. That’s the way of bureaucracy way too often.
This story needs further study.
