FBI San Bernardino Investigation Stymied by White House Politics
sofrep.com ^ | 12/7/2015 | JACK MURPHY

Sources indicate heated tension between President Obama and FBI Director James Comey about the nature of the San Bernardino mass shooting, which left 14 civilians dead. Although the FBI believed that it was an act of terrorism from the beginning, immense political pressure was brought down on investigators to avoid using the term “terrorism,” with Obama stating, “It is possible that this is terrorist related, but we don’t know…It is also possible that this was workplace related.”

A SOFREP source confirmed that after the shooting, Obama held a meeting in the Oval Office with his National Security Council, the attorney general, and the directors of the DHS, FBI, and NSA, in which a directive was given to downplay the terrorism angle. Such meetings are not held for mass shootings. Besides that, SIGINT aircraft like the ones the U.S. military flies over Africa (programs such as Creek Sand and Aztec Archer previously detailed on SOFREP) and Afghanistan don’t slurp up data from the skies over California unless the government is actively searching for other members of a terrorist cell. The same was done after the Boston bombings and the attempted Times Square bombing.

It will probably be terrorist attacks of that magnitude in order to jar ordinary Americans into realizing it is either “them” or “us”. I am convinced we will eventually need to fight in order to take our country back from the muzzies. Liberals & progressives & demoCRAPs will always advocate retreat & surrender.

Of course, you are right. To a leftist, it is always about power and control. But I’d also like to think that even suck like Hillary and Rahm take the high road once in awhile, albeit for the wrong reasons. They actually think Obamao couldn’t get elected to a third term. With the STUCK ON STUPID disease with this country, I only wish that I could be as sure.

We have pussies in the FBI. If this were true, I’d resign.

Petreaus in the end was a pussy too. Only think Obama beat him to the punch by outing him before he outed Obama.

I bet there is a story there somewhere as I can’t believe our fighting men sat back and let Obama allow us to retreat from Iraq when the war was won.

From Audacity of Hope: 'I will stand with the Muslims should the political winds shift in an ugly direction.'

Snopes says that is a misquote, and that he was talking about American Muslims, but in this case, even that fits. IIRC one of the shooters had citizenship.

Pressure? Pressure to lie and obfuscate? Pressure to be as obtuse as possible? BS. He’s a check taker. All of them are. No patriot could take part in deliberate political lies that threaten the safety of the public.

Political correctness is killing us.

ISIS has no Navy, no boats, no ships, no submarines. They have no Air Force, no bombers, no fighters, no troop carriers or refueling planes. ISIS has no ballistic missiles, no scuds, no short range missiles. They have no Space Program, no satellites, no real time intelligence.

THE ONLY WEAPON SYSTEMS ISIS HAS THAT CAN KILL AMERICANS ARE THE OBAMA/CLINTON/JARRETT/LYNCH TRAITORS & DEMOCRATS IN CONGRESS, and CAIR, WHO DEMAND WE ALLOW MUSLIMS TO IMMIGRATE TO AMERICA TO SLAUGHTER INNOCENT AMERICANS.

Absolutely never heard of James Comey; have they renamed the J. Edgar Hoover Building yet? Even San Antonio is about to rename Robert E. Lee High School for a local unknown.

Good post, but I suspect that the post itself will strike fear in the American people, not the terrorists. The people are too uninformed to figure out much of anything. American seem bent on guaranteeing “civil liberties” for terrorists.

Americans seem bent on guaranteeing civil liberties for terrorists and taking away our first amendment rights of free speech.

If we use our first amendment, we can get ‘Lynched’ by Obama’s AG Ms Lynch, Obama’s hand picked fascist to keep us in line.

Maybe Obama/Jarrett have selected future Director of the FBI under Trump.

The focus of the White House’s ire soon became FBI Director, James Comey.

Some of that conflict was outlined earlier here: BREAKING: Obama/Jarrett Warn FBI Director Over Anti-Muslim Tone

At one point, the president is said to have flung several papers onto the floor of the Oval Office as he sat behind his desk stewing over Director’s Comey’s now-infamous terrorist attack remarks.

This was supposed to be a gun issue for us, not some anti-Islamic bullsh*t!

Jarrett then dispatched an order for Director Comey to meet in person with the President. It was at that meeting the already existing fracture between Comey and the White House on such issues as the Black Lives Matter/anti-law enforcement movement, which Director Comey already spoke out against, was said to have worsened considerably following the San Bernardino attacks. Comey is alleged to have refused to fully capitulate with the White House’s demands he lessen the terrorist attack rhetoric.

When Director Comey went ahead with a planned press conference on the issue, Jarrett sent Attorney General Loretta Lynch there to oversee the Director statements on the San Bernardino attack. Included in that press conference was a moment the Mainstream Media then attempted to hide as Jarrett operatives terminated the Director public comments when he moved away from his Jarrett-approved script via an attempt to open the press conference to questions from the media.
