Able Danger saw every financial transaction that came into the country...Shaffer will admit that part easily. Then ask just how far this financial analysis could go...and my guess is that Shaffer will answer "anywhere".
Go out to Yahoo and type in Don Johnson and the German investigation. Don Johnson, our favorite Miami Vice character...was caught a couple of years ago coming into Germany and about to head into Switzerland...in a large private limo...and lots of bank documents (into the billions supposedly). He was simply a VIP type who a number of businessmen thought would be a good courier, and bring these documents out of the US and deposit them into a Swiss bank. The Germans sat there and started putting alot of info together on the connections involved. Don was finally allowed to leave....but his courier service terminated at that point. There are billions moved in and out of the US every year...illegally. Able Danger would really start to tell alot about our corruption in government and the business sector....simply by noting the money trail.
Ah, the money trail!
Chinese campaign contributions, the chief reason for Gorelick's wall. The Clintonoids were smart enough to insulate their foreign activities from Freeh and the FBI. He said just recently that he was constantly inundated with investigations of the Clintons, and had he known the Able Danger info, 911 probably could have been prevented. But he was cut off from 'foreign' information.
