The Department of Justice and the FBI has released the unredacted version of the Orlando shooter’s 911 call after tons of outcry for redacting references to ISIS.
Republicans by the score ripped the White House over politically correct concerns, and Paul Ryan demanded the unredacted version be released.
Here’s the full transcript, without the omissions:
OD: Emergency 911, this is being recorded.
OM: In the name of God the Merciful, the beneficent [Arabic]
OD: What?
OM: Praise be to God, and prayers as well as peace be upon the prophet of God [Arabic]. I wanna let you know, I’m in Orlando and I did the shootings.
OD: What’s your name?
OM: My name is I pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi of the Islamic State.
OD: Ok, What’s your name?
OM: I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may God protect him [Arabic], on behalf of the Islamic State.
OD: Alright, where are you at?
OM: In Orlando.
OD: Where in Orlando?
[End of call.]
As you can see, the redacted parts were clearly about ISIS, which everyone knew already.
This is the explanation given by the DOJ/FBI for why they redacted it in the first place and why they reversed:
The purpose of releasing the partial transcript of the shooter’s interaction with 911 operators was to provide transparency, while remaining sensitive to the interests of the surviving victims, their families, and the integrity of the ongoing investigation. We also did not want to provide the killer or terrorist organizations with a publicity platform for hateful propaganda. Unfortunately, the unreleased portions of the transcript that named the terrorist organizations and leaders have caused an unnecessary distraction from the hard work that the FBI and our law enforcement partners have been doing to investigate this heinous crime. As much of this information had been previously reported, we have re-issued the complete transcript to include these references in order to provide the highest level of transparency possible under the circumstances.

That's the real news.
btw, RT reported that a youth group in Denmark sang in front of the US ambassador. When the words were translated they said something to the effect that Obama was a talentless Negro. US is demanding an apology.
But it IS done on purpose. No need flailing about it.
“Still misleading, The proper translation God [Arabic] should say Allah”
A sneaky way to taint all religions.
OM: I pledge allegiance to Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi may Allah protect him, on behalf of the Islamic State.
DOJ Version (redacted):
I pledge allegiance to Donald Trump (Arabic), may our Lord Jesus Christ protect him (Arabic) on behalf of the Confederate States of America (Arabic)
It’s as plain as day
I think he said Allah and not God.....so it is still a lie isn’t it?
Unless they are in on it.
Obama Akbar.
That’s the news (Paul Ryan) the MSM wants us to focus on.
Crime or instance of Jihad?
Too many people noticed it today for a change.
Denmark! They do manage to stand for freedom when they can. Gotta love how they have been since 9/11.
I notice that the “unredacted” transcript is still edited, to change the word “Allah” to “God.”
I hate Obama. So. Much.
And yet its STILL redacted!! They replace Allah with God because they dont want people hearing that this Jihadist was praising ALLAH..so if they are going to do that, fine, remove ALL images of Dylan Roof with the Confederate Flag and put the flag back up, since that flag had NOTHING to do with what he did right FBI?
They replaced Allah with God.
We need some energetic Freeper with time on his/her hands to show us what exactly was deleted from the original release. That will speak volumes.
Looking for volunteers.
Apparently the chief law enforcement official in the united States is unfamiliar with the definition of TRANSCRIPT
All of this reminds me of the Benghazi controversy. The Obama administration could not tell the truth then, and it seem impossible for them to do so now.
Fine. The voters will take note, and Trump will have more ammunition to describe the pattern.
