Speaker John Boehner (R-Ohio) said merely floating the idea that Huma Abedin — a top aide to Secretary of State Hillary Clinton — has family ties to the radical Middle East group is “pretty dangerous.”
“I don’t know Huma, but from everything I do know of her, she has a sterling character,” Boehner told reporters Thursday. “And I think accusations like this being thrown around are pretty dangerous.” Later on CNN, Boehner said he expects to speak to Bachmann soon.

Bachmann’s accusation came in a handful of letters to intelligence and national security agencies raising questions about the Muslim Brotherhood. The letters, also signed by four other Republicans, specifically mentioned Abedin, accusing her late father of having ties to the Brotherhood.
Boehner declined to entertain a reporter’s question about whether he would toss Bachmann off the Intelligence Committee, where she’s privy to highly classified information. Behind the scenes, leadership aides said they were shaken by the comments from someone as prominent as Bachmann.

Seems to be way to much protesting going on about this issue. Why does it remind me of Alger Hiss?
They all thought the Ft. Hood murderer was a good American Muslim too.
Why the HELL do Republicans ANSWER the stupid questions??? Why don’t they just say “NO COMMENT”???
McCarthy was right. We are pretty much on our own at this point. L&L.
I’m really proud of Michelle. I liked her run for the presidency and was shocked at all the hate thrown at her from the media and I hate to mention it - some freepers here. She is obviously a woman of great bravery.

I second that. All MB and that paltry few other brave Congressmen were asking was for an investigation or how she got security clearance? I suspect security clearances went out of fashion with Pres. Clinton. Do you really think that there is one person in the Obama administration that has a security clearance? Or could pass one?

Now Rep. Bachmann is getting sliced and diced.
The Romney/Texas/Globalist/New World Order Mafia that bankrolled their candidate is taking no chances, no prisoners, no tea party common sense conservative Constitutional presence on the convention floor.
My advice : Burn the house down, and make this convention nomination a revolt - an open season on RINO's !!!
THE RINO CONVENTION CREDENTIALS COMMITTEE
I hope Michelle tells Tammy Faye to drink a big ole cup of STFU.
