So... Is Shirley another Muslim convert, or is she just a run of the mill globalist communist?

The separation of powers issue involves the CIA gaining unauthorized access to Senate files. Here's some background:

This Feinstein Report came up the other day while I was digging around on something else... had to do with Farhadian;

(snip) An embattled former Obama administration appointee — who was part of a group of attorneys accused of being terrorist sympathizers for defending “enemy combatants” — has been hired for a post at the US Attorney’s Office in Brooklyn, officials confirmed today. Tali Farhadian was one of several private attorneys who created a rift between Republicans last spring when the Obama Administration assigned them to posts within the Justice Department.

...Farhadian, 35, served as counsel to Holder until her departure in June. Before joining Holder’s office, Farhadian worked on a team at a law firm that wrote legal briefs for two organizations, Human Rights Watch and Human Rights First, which were representing Ali Saleh Kahlah Al-Marri. The Qatari student, who had been designated an enemy combatant, was to stand trial later on fraud charges in Illinois.... -———————— ‘Qaeda 7’ attorney gets NYC job: Fed prosecutor gig (’Terrorist sympathizer’) The New York Post ^ | January 8, 2011 | Michael Maddux http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/2654019/posts Posted by 2ndDivisionVet

That makes more sense ... without my glasses on, it looked like state rather than senate.

Tali Farhadian is a JINO who in 2010 married a guy named Boaz Weinstein ... he is derivatives trader and hedge fund manager and founder of Saba Capital Management. Tali was born in Iran to a Jewish family that fled the fall of the Shah in 1979... -—paraphrased from Wiki

Weinstein created Saba with Deutsche Bank around the time Obama took office.

More like summer 2009... though it had been in the works for a while... and it took off.

Farhadian was an “al Qaeda 7” defense attorney securing the transfer of detainees to Qatar.

Sounds like a typical Obama appointee.

The particularly galling thing abut the al Qaeda 7 release of detainees was that the release included al Marri , and Al-Marri is a Qatari citizen who acted as a sleeper agent in Illinois for one or more planned follow-on attacks.
He’d been nabbed on credit card fraud among other things... but when searching his home the Feds took a very keen interest in a certain trunk that he had which earlier had been shipped to him from overseas.
The al Marris had also received in a shipment what they claimed were “seeds,” perhaps in this same trunk.
Al Marri’s boss was KSM.
KSM was the not very religious party animal who was captured in the home of a Pakistani bacteriologist named Qadoos... who was in turn associated with Qadeer Khan’s proliferation network.
