Federal lawmakers are investigating the possibility that senior Department of Justice officials interfered in a terrorism probe involving a refugee just prior to the November election in an effort to deny campaign momentum to Donald Trump, Fox News has learned.
The Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee has launched a formal inquiry into the Texas, case, in which a terror suspect’s pending arrest was allegedly spiked just over a week before the election. Trump had run on a tough-on-terror platform and had been critical of President Obama’s refugee policy.
“When [Joint Terrorism Task Force] and the U.S. Attorney’s office for the Western District of Texas sought to prosecute this refugee, the local law enforcement and prosecutors allegedly ‘met resistance’ from officials within the National Security Division’s Counter Terrorism section in Washington DC,” Committee chairman Ron Johnson, R-Wis., said in a March 6 letter to U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
" ... local law enforcement and prosecutors allegedly ‘met resistance’ from officials within the National Security Division’s Counter Terrorism section in Washington DC." - Sen. Ron Johnson, R-Wis., in letter to DOJ
“The ‘resistance’ allegedly occurred a few weeks before the 2016 election, and local authorities believed the lack of progress in this case was handled inadequately,” Johnson wrote.
The suspect, an Iraqi man who had entered the U.S. under a false name, is now at large. His real name was not released.
Fox News has learned the JTTF confirmed through U.S. Special Forces who encountered the suspect during operations that he had participated in attacks against American troops as an insurgent.

Wow, if this is true, I just can’t.
After I watched the video, I said: This is f’n unbelievable. But in my next breath I said: It is believable, because this is what the Obama DOJ was all about. They put politics over the lives of American citizens.
PING!!!

Thanks, Hadean
Mmmmm..........Obama's DOJ aiding and abetting a terrorist?
That move is gonna get Obama a huge donation to his foundation.
Sure would like to see the letter Valerie put together AND the big buck Muslim donor list writing checks to Obama.
Going to be real ugly if this guy commits, or has committed, a serious crime while on the run.
Do we know his fake and real name?
PFL
Hey, nothing to worry about. It's not like Iraq is on the ban list.
Of course it’s true, they didn’t arrest Mateen’s wife until after the election, and that was for mass murder at a gay night club. Obviously done to deprive Trump of the campaign issue.
Tune in to CNN tonight where you will see this! (You won’t)
the headline has been changed to -
“Iraqi insurgent fighter allegedly lied about identity, got through ‘extreme’ vetting”
the original headline was noted by others besides FR:
Reddit: Lawmakers probe claim DOJ aided Iraqi terror suspect days before November election (foxnews.com).
This sheet is getting serious.....
How far are we from the time when a bunch of recently retired MOS 18 E7s, E8s, etc. are going to have real Case Of The Ass, and a full case of 5.56 boat-tailed hollow point simultaneously?
This terrorist bitch wife of Mateen is set to be out on bail, courtesy of a degenerate LESBIAN JUDGE!
Don’t forget Mateens father was seated directly behind SHRILLARY at a rally right after the massacre of 49 Americans.
WHEN THE HELL ARE THE DEMOCRAT COMMUNISTS GOING TO PAY FOR THEIR TREACHERY????

Last month, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California appointed openly gay law professor Donna M. Ryu as a full-time magistrate judge for Oakland, California. Ryu is on the faculty of the University of California’s Hastings College of the Law and was a founding member of the Berkeley Women’s Law Journal.
Furious prosecutors filed a letter Thursday appealing a California federal judge’s decision to set bail for the widow of the gunman who killed 29 people during the Pulse nightclub massacre, according to newly released court documents.
U.S. Magistrate Judge Donna Ryu set $500,000 bond Wednesday for 31-year-old Noor Salman, who has pleaded “not guilty” to charges of aiding and abetting her late husband, Omar Mateen, in the June 2016 attack. Salman’s mother and uncle put up their houses as collateral.
He’s probably an IT employee for Chuckie Schumer by now..
Fox has credible Reporters with VERY credible sources.
When will Repubs demand someone guilty, and high level, be made example of? Silly me the Uni Party has each other’s backs.
This puts the lie to the statement by the prissy spokesboy, Kevin Lewis, that Obama never interferes in investigations .
Holy cow!!!

Can’t let anything get out that might prove Trump right during the elections. How insane these leftists are.
I hope President Trump has truckloads of Colon Blow heading to Washington DC to help flush out that mess.
