Jamie Gorelick...
...raised the wall between intelligence agencies higher than it had ever been since its inception in 1978. Gorelick instituted rules -- later made department policy -- which  separated criminal investigations from intelligence gathering. Her policy memo itself stated that these new rules went "beyond what is legally required." Specifically, the new rules prohibited any "proactive" investigative efforts or technical coverage" of terrorist suspects on US soil. Therefore, under the Gorelick policy memo, US law enforcement and intelligence agencies were prohibited from any undercover work related to terrorist suspects. That prevented intelligence agencies, including the FBI, from sharing intelligence with other US agencies that were also charged with maintaining US security and preventing attacks upon US soil before 911.
Jamie Gorelick was the number two official in the Justice Department under President Clinton. Gorelick was the lead Democrat on the 9/11 Commission.
US Representative Curt Weldon released information identifying Jamie Gorelick as the person who blocked the 9/11 Commission from hearing shocking testimony regarding findings of the elite Able Danger military intelligence team one year before 9/11.
Dieter Snell was Gorelick's lead staff worker while she sat as a commissioner on the 9/11 Commission. Snell prevented Able Danger analyst Scott Philpot from appearing before the 9/11 Commission.
Philpot was prepared to testify that it was during the Clinton administration that the top secret intelligence group known as Able Danger learned of Mohammed Atta's and three others' involvement in terrorist activities against the US. He also was prepared to testify that Able Danger had warned the Clinton administration of an impending attack on the USS Cole while in port in Yemen.
Representative Weldon said, "Two weeks before the attack on the USS Cole they sensed that something was about to happen in Yemen. Two days before the attack on the Cole -- and the arrival of the Cole in harbor -- they warned that the ship should not enter the harbor."
Representative Weldon added, "This information needs to be brought to the public... We lost 3,000 people here. This cannot be covered up. This is 3,000 times worse than Watergate."
