Weldon: Vast Liberal Conspiracy “Is What It Is”

Rep. Curt Weldon (R-PA) is back, this time armed with hard evidence that his Democratic opponent is in cahoots with the Justice Department.

Weldon said yesterday that a retired FBI agent had “confirmed to me that a person who works on my opponent’s campaign was bragging that the campaign knew three weeks ago” about the FBI’s investigation into Weldon and his daughter’s company. McClatchy Newspapers revealed the existence of the investigation last Friday, citing “sources with direct knowledge of the inquiry,” one of them a law enforcement official.

So who’s this retired agent? He’s Gregory Auld, a Weldon supporter. Auld says that a man at a local gym, whom he calls “Grumpy,” because he doesn’t know his name, told him that three weeks ago, a guy in a Sestak T-shirt (Auld doesn’t know this guy’s name, either) said “something big” would happen to Weldon in three weeks. So Auld decided to check that out. He approached the Sestak-T-shirt-wearing-dude in the gym and asked if he was happy about what happened over the weekend. Auld says the guy shrugged his shoulders and replied, “”We sniffed this out two weeks ago.”

The evidence could not be clearer or more damning. Or as Weldon says, “That is what it is.”

And for all you doubters who think that a Republican controlled Justice Department wouldn’t be involved in a liberal conspiracy to out Weldon, he’s got an answer for that, too:

“You all know that bureaucrats don’t change with presidential leadership at the top. You know that, come on,” he said. “Bureaucrats are in office from one administration to another, whether it’s in the CIA, or the DIA or the State Department or the Defense Department or the Justice Department, and this obviously did not start at the top. It obviously came from the bureaucracy.”
