Seems odd that this story went cold about 5 days ago. No new entries that I could find on the father
Mateen, the son, got off the terrorist watch list because of his father's WH (and other) connections. Why else would this creep not be kept on that list?
Nailed it, grania. Some pigs are more special than others.
Government asset would also mAke sense. Something is strange about his wife. Maybe she is a spy
“has expressed gratitude Afghan Taliban “
Can’t parse this phrase. Something missing.
How odd that this info is not printed in an American newspaper.
