UPDATED (11:49PM EDT) WITH AUDIO
Michelle Malkin alerted me about Rep. Weldon going ballistic on the floor:
Yesterday I met with another Able Danger official…this official has impeccable credentials…can’t reveal his name today [publicly]...[will tell any member the official’s name privately]. In a meeting, he told me he’s never been talked to by the Pentagon and DIA in their investigation…The Pentagon says all the material has been destroyed, but I have a second senior official telling me there may be a second pot of information…
You can’t let a Lt. Col.’s career be ruined because of a bureaucrat in the DIA…We’re seeing lying. Distortion. Wolf Blitzer told me that a Defense Department official told [Blitzer] that Shaffer was having an affair with a member of my staff…he doesn’t even know my staff! What do we stand for if not the truth? I’ll leave my post, but not until I get justice for this man and the American people....scum at the Pentagon are spreading malicious lies.
What we have here is an aggressive attempt by CIA management to cover up their shortcomings.
If it means I have to resign, I will resign.
[Excoriates feds for dragging out info that Shaffer stole pens when he was 15.] This is not about the DIA or the CIA. This is about CYA…
I am attempting to get video, however I can not guarantee anything.

Weldon was on with Michael Savage yesterday where he basically gave a warm-up of this speech. Wouldn’t be surprised if this came up again today.
