Hillary's State Department Refused to Brand Boko Haram as Terrorists

The State Department under Hillary Clinton fought hard against placing the al Qaeda-linked militant group Boko Haram on its official list of foreign terrorist organizations for two years. And now, lawmakers and former U.S. officials are saying that the decision may have hampered the American government's ability to confront the Nigerian group that shocked the world by abducting hundreds of innocent girls.

What Clinton didn’t mention was that her own State Department refused to place Boko Haram on the list of foreign terrorist organizations in 2011, after the group bombed the UN headquarters in Abuja. The refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate. “The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.”

My understanding is that no one in Boko Harum is either a returning US veteran or a Tea-Party member, so of course they aren’t terrorists.

Nigerian girls are sold as sex slaves in Chad........

Hillary’s fault

Given her track record one wonders if she or perhaps Chelsa received a kick back from the slavers

N-i-c-e find. It's about time we uncover the incompetence of
Hillary's all-girl State Dept. ...not to mention the airheaded
"sorority sisters'" complicity in Behghazi.

================================================

Just one of Hillary's State Dept weenies.

"Men will never know how hard it is to do the job
at the State Dept when you're having a bad hair day."

And we actually are considering this incompetent old Marxist woman as the next president of the USA, to take over from the incompetent young Marxist who is currently dismantling the Constitution. Obviously, we have a death wish.

THE WOMAN WHO WANTS TO BE PRESIDENT: Hillary Clinton has never mentioned that the State Department (which she ruled w/ an iron hand)---- refused to place the savage "Boko Haram" terrorist group on the State Dept list of foreign terrorist organizations...... way back in 2011, after the group bombed UN headquarters in Abuja.

Hillary's refusal came despite the urging of the Justice Department, the FBI, the CIA, and over a dozen Senators and Congressmen.

“The one thing she could have done, the one tool she had at her disposal, she didn’t use. And nobody can say she wasn’t urged to do it. It’s gross hypocrisy,” said a former senior U.S. official who was involved in the debate.

“The FBI, the CIA, and the Justice Department really wanted Boko Haram designated, they wanted the authorities that would provide to go after them, and they voiced that repeatedly to elected officials.” (Excerpt) Read more at thedailybeast.com ...

==================================================

HOW MANY BOKO HARAM TERRORISTS ARE IN THE US? DHS and the US State Dept recently published new exemptions in the Federal Register to welcome more terrorists seeking "asylum" in the US.......by nullifying the existing ban contained in the Immigration and Nationality Act that currently excludes refugees and asylum seekers who had provided limited material support, no matter how minor, to terrorists.

“These exemptions cover five kinds of limited material support that have adversely and unfairly affected refugees and asylum seekers with no tangible connection to terrorism: material support that was insignificant in amount or provided incidentally in the course of everyday social, commercial, family or humanitarian interactions, or under significant pressure,” a DHS official explained.

Secretary of Homeland Security Jeh Johnson and Hillary's successor, John Kerry, signed the Obama exemptions.

......none of the Boko Harum girl kidnappers/trafficers is either (1) a returning US veteran, or, (2) a Tea-Party member, so, of course, Hillary and the US govt, would not label them as terrorists.....

OMG, that is so brilliant.

True......and let's not forget the asinine NSA bunch w/ top ntl security clearance. One little dude climbed the ladder of success as Obama's former van driver.

Tommy Vietor being introed on Fox---looks uncomfortable
with his "big boy" clothes on. I guess bowl-cut hair is
regulation for van drivers.

It’s taken everyone long enough it’s been over two months now and if not for the stink on social media no-one they wouldn’t have said a peep - all this faux outrage is a little late in the game! I don’t know whether it is the same there but when they mention Boko Haram no-one ever says Islamic along with it and nobody here mentions these girls are forced to convert and marry an Islamic man and if they don’t are sent of to the sex trade.

The dirty little secret that the West refuses to admit is that Islam is just fine with this! They are following the prophet in doing so and modelling their lives on that crazed pedophile!

Nice find but it's chump change compared to the $6 billion missing from the State Dept. News reports announced the State Department said it has "no idea" what happened to $6 billion used to pay its contractors. A special State Dept “management alert” warned “significant financial risk and a lack of internal control at State has led to billions of unaccounted dollars over the last six years....under Hillary's watch.

========================================

It is astoundingly easy to steal govt money--- using 2-3 MO's. Were official documents falsified?---Falsifying Government Documents. involves altering, changing, or modifying a document for the purpose of deception.......can also involve forgery and/or passing copies of false documents. Falsifying documents is usually done in connection with broader criminal aims, such as extortion, government fraud, tax evasion, money laundering, financing terrorism........

Types of documents commonly falsified may include:
◾Tax returns and income statements
◾Personal checks
◾Bank account records
◾Business record keeping books
◾Immigration documents (such as visas, passports, etc.)
◾Identification cards and birth certificates

Many different types of acts can be considered as falsifying a document, including:
◾Altering or misrepresenting factual information such as prices or monetary amounts
◾Stating false information when requested to provide truthful statements
◾Forging a signature
◾Using official letterheads without authorization
◾Concealing assets or property WRT obtaining federal/state grants))
◾Knowingly using or distributing a fake document

A person can only be held criminally liable if they are deliberately acting with the intention of deceiving or defrauding another party.

Falsifying documents is a very serious offense and is generally classified as a felony. This means that a person charged with falsifying documents may be subject to the following legal penalties:
◾Having to pay a monetary fine
◾Incarceration in a prison facility

Depending on the gravity of the offense, as well as individual state laws, falsifying documents can result in a prison sentence of 5-10 years. Also, if government documents or authorities were involved, the legal penalties may be more severe. ..... legal penalties may increase with repeat offenses.

The penalty for falsifying government documents is outlined in the Crimes Act of 1958.
