FBI Investigating Pa. Rep. Curt Weldon
Fox News ^ | October 14, 2006

Posted on 10/14/2006 5:24:00 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

The FBI is investigating whether Rep. Curt Weldon, R-Pa., used his influence to secure lobbying and consulting contracts for his daughter, two people familiar with the inquiry said Saturday.

The inquiry focuses on lobbying contracts worth $1 million that Weldon's daughter, Karen Weldon, obtained from foreign clients and whether they were assisted by the congressman, they said. They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the criminal investigation.

Well I see that Fox news has picked up on the hit piece originally in McCLatchey newspapers from yesterday.

BTW, soros's CREW is behind this.

"They spoke on condition of anonymity because of the confidentiality of the criminal investigation."

I'm really getting tired of statements such as this.

Curt Weldon was already polling weakly and had stumbled on the campaign trail a number of times. Even without this hit piece, he was in big trouble.

Well lets see: Curt Weldon, Jim Kolbe and Foley all (REPUBLICANS, no surprise) being investigated (two for alleged sexual improprieties).

So, that explains why we have seen nothing about an investigation of Dingy Harry Reid.

No manpower left to investigate the left.

Either that, or the rest of the agents are too busy attending Muzzie Sensitivity Training Classes.

I live in Weldon's district. He's been getting nothing but negative press all year. He's right about the Cintonistas going after him. I wish I could vote fifty times (like the dems do). Say a prayer out there for Curt. He's another Henry Hyde, someone we need in Congress.

I just read on Lucianne that this event happened in 2004, was reported in the LA Times, Weldon took info in to the ethics and was cleared. This is old news.

They're bringing the federal investigation up again.

Not to mention the dem clown in Florida going to court so the voters CANT be informed that a vote for Foley is a vote for the republican replacement. You can't get more testically shriveled than that.

One more reason to NOT stay home on election day. The only way the Cintonistas/George Soro's/move-on.org crowd eill get boot out of power and sane democrats (pre-68) take back their party is for these clowns to keep losing elections.

What does your comment have to do with my statement about my frustration with the premature release of information by anonymous sources not authorized to make a press release?

See, old news, but CREW asks FBI, FBI launches a cursory look-see, and a couple of democrats in the FBI leak that FBI is "looking at it".

First the self-serving fiends in the DoD declare Able Danger to be fiction, with the full protection of Arlen Specter's deference to the Pentagon. Then the RATs throw former Admiral Joe Sestak against him. None of this worked to destroy Weldon, so Justice is doing their part to finish the job. Anyone who threatens the status quo must be eliminated. Hillary would be proud.

If people don't like lobbyists, then maybe they could consider eliminating all of the unconstitutional crap that the federal government does and pare it back to what was enumerated for it in Article 1 Section 8. Then there'd be less to lobby about and therefore fewer lobbyists. Just a thought. I don't expect anyone to actually take that seriously.
