Phil Heron, Editor of the Delco Times, on Weldon’s current political/legal troubles:

It still is inexplicable, however, that he has not released “the letter.”

For the past two years, whenever he was asked about the meteoric lobbying career of his daughter Karen and Sexton, Weldon always responded that he voluntarily went to the House Ethics Committee with all the particulars and was given a clean bill of health. More recently he’s said that the committee wrote him a letter closing the case.

Why, then, has he not produced it? With his family and friends under fire and his job on the line, why won’t Weldon release the one piece of paper that could give him an exculpatory boost?

Here’s the thing: Curt Weldon claimed to have a chart that showed that the intelligence community knew about Mohamed Atta and the September 11th hijackers, but was unable to produce it. (See also: Able Danger.)

Next, Curt Weldon claimed to have evidence that he personally knew where the chaches of Iraqi WMD’s were. He had a source, Ali. But he could not produce credible evidence to the military, who surely desired to find the long-sought weapons.

Now he claims he was cleared by the Republican-controlled House ethics board in a letter. And yet he cannot produce the letter.

What we have here is clearly a pattern of claiming to have evidence where it does not exist. I have a hunch that when Curt was a kid, he tried the “Dog ate my homework trick” a lot too.
