The FBI investigation into Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) is growing — but so is the left-wing conspiracy against him, according to the blustery, theory-prone lawmaker.

In a two-and-a-half minute interview with the Daily Pennsylvanian‘s blog, The Spin, Weldon fleshed out earlier charges that the Democrats are behind the federal probe into his dealings. Agents raided six locations today in connection to the investigation, including his daughter’s home.

In addition to blaming the D.C.-based watchdog group, Citizens for Responsibility and Ethics in Washington (CREW) and its head, Melanie Sloan (who filed a complaint against Weldon with the FBI — in 2004), the cabal (according to Weldon) now includes: former President Bill Clinton; former CIA official Mary McCarthy; former senior Justice Department official/9-11 Commission panelist Jamie Gorelick; former national security adviser Sandy Berger (“I know what he stole — I know why he stole it!”); and the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee.

He has the documents to prove it! They’re in a secret file, right next to his proof of Iraqi WMD.
