They picked the wrong guy to try to pressure. I worked for Shelton at AFSPACE, and he’s a straight shooter and scary smart.

“They picked the wrong guy to try to pressure.”
No, they didn’t. They pressured him and got what they wanted. If he was really as strong as you say they would not have gotten what they wanted.
I love straight shooters and I hope every single one of them that’s left in the military will stand up against the crap this administration has done to the US military.
If the White House interfered with the military like this on a mere money issue, what do you think the chances are that they also told Judge Denise Lind what “her” decision would be in the Terry Lakin case, which was about the much more critical issue of Obama’s ability to legally inhabit the White House?
I think Sloan rightly identified that this isn’t an isolated incident; the pattern is becoming clear. And the reach is also becoming clear; the buy-offs and coercion extend to military functions as well as to private-sector start-ups. It includes attempting to willfully deceive Congress in its official functions as well as willfully obstructing Congressional investigations.
For private-sector donors, the quid pro quo is money. For the judiciary the quid pro quo is appointments, which yield power as well as salaries. What are the chances that Obama’s buy-off scheme DOESN’T extend to Sotomayor and Kagan for past services rendered as well as future services to be rendered?
Put a lawless skunk in power and soon EVERY BRANCH is suffocated with the stench.
As a classmate and friend of Willie’s, I could not agree with you more. They definitely picked the wrong guy to pressure. It’s probably been a while since this administration has dealt with a man of honor and character.
The nuvi 265w. a very common portable consumer sutomotive navigation device, began to be jammed … at a distance of 3.6 miles from the transmitter….
A GNS 4320W, a common FAA certified General Aviation receiver that supports the FAA’s NextGen RNAV and RNP operations, began to be jammed at a distance of 13.8 miles from the LightSquared transmitter. Total loss of fix occurred at a distance of 5.6 miles from the LightSquared transmitter.

I hope what you're saying is right, about Shelton being a straight shooter. The first statement above seems to indicate to me that he bowed to pressure to change his testimony and now is coming clean about it. If that is the case, I wish that he would have played straight shooter right from the start, and told 0dumb0 & his merry band of corrupt commie thugs, to go pound salt.
