Re: vetting - good question.
How about Retired Army Col. Phil Waldron. Was presented as an expert by Rudy. Yet, there’s no military biography of Waldron made available to verify his bona fides. Why not?
Here’s Waldron’s biography its through the ASOG web site.
ASOG bothers me, it’s only been in existence a couple of years. It has the look of a “contracting storefront”. They don’t show any real internal “hands-on” expertise. Which means they would have to contract out to get that. When I have dealt with companies like that I have a hard time trusting what the principals say. I would have to dig deeper and gauge the reaction of the prime. If they acted nervous that would say something, if they blocked me that would speak volumes. It “looks” like something set up to “soak up” USG Cyber funds. I’d be hard pressed to have confidence in them without more data.
